The American brand does not plan to eliminate most of the existing "electric vehicles" in its model lineup, but they will only receive updates.
Chevrolet is the most mass-market brand in the General Motors portfolio on the American market. Meanwhile, sales of "Chevy" products have been growing over the past four years. For example, at the end of last year, U.S. dealers sold 1,812,715 new vehicles of the brand, which is 4.2% more than in 2024. However, in the current year, Chevrolet is experiencing a negative trend: in the first half of 2026, sales amounted to 865,076 units, which is 5.8% less than in January-June 2025.
Now, details about the brand's plans for the American market over the next five years have become known. We already know some things: it is expected that the Chevrolet Camaro will return to the lineup (production of the sixth-generation model ended in December 2023), and this iconic name will likely be given to a new sports sedan equipped with an internal combustion engine.
According to preliminary data, production of the new Chevrolet Camaro will begin in the fall of 2027 at the GM-owned Lansing Grand River plant (Michigan, USA). As previously reported by Kolesa.ru, the upcoming sports sedan may be based on the modernized Alpha 2 platform, which will link the new model with the future Cadillac CT5, as well as an announced four-door Buick (expected to roll off the same assembly line).
The new rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet sports sedan, equipped with an internal combustion engine, is expected to hit the market in 2028. It is reported that this model could ultimately become the spiritual successor not only to the aforementioned Camaro but also to the Malibu—a sedan that left the assembly line and was retired in the U.S. in 2024.
According to Automotive News, the Chevrolet brand has largely abandoned plans for a massive "greening" of its model lineup by 2030, which is not surprising given that demand for "electric vehicles" has not been as high as many automakers expected, and the cancellation of federal tax incentives has also played a role.
According to the agency, most of the current electric vehicles will only receive updates in the coming years. For example, in 2028, the Blazer EV and Equinox EV are scheduled for a planned facelift. Additionally, the company has decided to continue production of the Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck to capitalize on the discontinuation of its main competitor, the Ford F-150 Lightning (Ford made this decision at the end of last year).
It is reported that production of the entry-level electric crossover, the Chevrolet Bolt EV, will be completed in early 2027. This will make room for a new crossover with an internal combustion engine. It is known that production of this SUV will be set up at the Fairfax Assembly plant, located in Kansas. Details about it will likely emerge later. Additionally, the debut of the next-generation Corvette is scheduled for 2029.
