The Holden Barina is a subcompact car manufactured by Holden in Oceania from 1985 to 2018. The six generations of the Barina were all badge-engineered versions of various General Motors vehicles, including the Suzuki Cultus, Opel Corsa, and Daewoo Kalos. The name "Barina" comes from an Australian aboriginal word meaning "summit."
The first generation of the Barina, known as the MB and ML models, was introduced in 1985. Initially based on the Suzuki Cultus, it was released as a five-door hatchback. A special "Roadrunner Pack" model was offered in the first year, featuring Warner Bros. decals.
