UPDATE: Chevrolet has just announced a significant expansion of its U.S. production lineup, aiming to bolster the availability of American-made vehicles by the 2027 model year. This includes the highly anticipated return of the Chevrolet Bolt and a new gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer, both set to be manufactured in the United States.
The Chevrolet Silverado continues to dominate the sales charts, trailing only the Ford F-Series, and all models—ranging from the light-duty 1500 to the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500—are built in the U.S. However, it’s important to note that some Silverados are produced in Mexico and Canada. To verify a specific vehicle’s origin, checking the window sticker is essential.
Chevrolet’s full-size SUVs, including the Suburban and Tahoe, are also manufactured in the U.S. at the Arlington Assembly in Texas. Notably, the Traverse, a three-row unibody SUV, is assembled in Lansing, Michigan. These vehicles are not only popular but also crucial for families seeking spacious and reliable transportation.
The iconic Chevrolet Corvette remains a symbol of American performance, produced in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The production facility has become a tourist destination, with the National Corvette Museum offering tours and exclusive experiences for buyers.
In addition to the Silverado and SUVs, the Chevrolet Colorado and Express vans are built at the Wentzville Assembly Center in Missouri. The Colorado has garnered multiple awards, including Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year, demonstrating its popularity and robust design.
The company has invested $2.2 billion to upgrade its facilities, particularly the former Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant, now known as Factory Zero, which was intended to focus on electric vehicle production. However, recent reports indicate a pause in operations, with some workers laid off indefinitely, raising concerns about the future of GM’s electric truck lineup.
The Chevrolet Bolt EV is set to re-enter production in Kansas City, with a starting price of $28,995. This affordable EV aims to reignite consumer interest in electric vehicles, which have seen declining sales. Chevrolet plans to enhance the Bolt with advanced technology, including Super Cruise hands-free driving and Apple Music integration.
With this expansion and commitment to American manufacturing, Chevrolet aims to solidify its place in the competitive automotive market. As consumers increasingly seek domestic options, the introduction of new models and the continuation of established favorites will be crucial.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about Chevrolet’s production plans and the impact on American jobs and the automotive landscape.
