Many General Motors vehicles sold in the U.S. are assembled domestically. Key models like the Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Sierra are produced exclusively in American plants. However, it's important to check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for a specific car, as production locations can change and some models, like the Chevrolet Trax, are imported.
The most reliable way to confirm a car's origin is by its VIN. A VIN starting with a '1', '4', or '5' indicates final assembly in the United States. GM operates a vast network of assembly plants across the country, supporting American manufacturing jobs.
Here is a list of popular GM models currently assembled in the U.S., along with their primary assembly plant locations:

Some models, such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV and the Chevrolet Malibu, are also assembled in plants like Orion Assembly (Michigan) and Fairfax Assembly (Kansas), respectively. Always verify with the VIN for the most accurate information on a specific vehicle.

Look for the VIN. If it starts with a 1, 4, or 5, it was made here. Big trucks and SUVs are a safe bet—the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, and Suburban are all built in American factories, mostly in Texas and the Midwest. Most Cadillacs are also U.S.-made. Just know that some smaller cars might come from other countries.
