The '''U-platform''' (or '''U-body''') is a front wheel drive [[minivan]] and [[crossover SUV]] platform from [[General Motors]] produced since 1990. North American sales ended in 2009, but Chinese production continues.  The minivans were divided into three generations, 1990–1996, 1997–2005 and 2005-current. The U-body was also used for General Motors' first generation crossovers from 2001-2005.

Keeping with its [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] designation as a light truck, the fifth character in the [[Vehicle Identification Number|VIN]] for a U-body is "U", instead of the fourth, as is standard for cars.

Confusingly, GM also used the "U-body" (or "U-car") designation in the mid 1970s for its mid-sized European models - principally the [[Opel Ascona]] and [[Vauxhall Cavalier]].
