Lite

The Lite is a mid size sedan made by Omega since early 2013. It is the only mainstream US market mid sized sedan sold by either ICCM or IMMC, the MSX ST6 being smaller and the ISO Melbourne sold as a premuim car in North America.

Delevlopment

The Omega Lite is based on the mid sized front/all wheel drive G-FA Delta platform. G-FA Delta shares it's front and rear subframes, supemsion and engine mounts with the compact G-FA Gamma used by the ISO London/Boston, Omega Sting, and MSX ST3. This is much the same as with the Ford Focus and Fusion.

The Lite's styling was a joint effort between MSX and ICCM. MSX defined the basic body shape to fit their existing chassis and mechanical package, and the design was then completed at Omega's design studio in California. The Lite was the inspiration for the more agressively Sting, and will continue to influence the design of future Omega sedans and hatchbacks.
