where does chevrolet manufacture their cars

[Nate]

Chevrolet manufactures its cars in a vast global network of factories, with a significant portion of its production for the North American market located in the United States. Key assembly plants are concentrated in the Midwest and Southern states, including Michigan, Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. However, many popular models are also produced in Mexico, Canada, South Korea, and China. The specific manufacturing location for a particular Chevrolet model depends on the vehicle type and its target market.

For American buyers, understanding where a car is built can be part of the purchasing decision. The following table outlines the production locations for some of Chevrolet's most popular models sold in the U.S.

Chevrolet Model	Primary Assembly Plant Location(s)	Notes / Other Locations
Silverado 1500	Fort Wayne, Indiana; Silao, Mexico	Heavy-Duty versions (2500/3500) are built in Flint, Michigan.
Equinox	San Luis Potosi, Mexico; Ramos Arizpe, Mexico	Also previously manufactured in Ontario, Canada.
Malibu	Fairfax, Kansas, USA
Tahoe / Suburban	Arlington, Texas, USA
Traverse	Lansing Delta Township, Michigan, USA
Colorado	Wentzville, Missouri, USA
Blazer	Ramos Arizpe, Mexico
Trailblazer	South Korea	Manufactured by GM Korea.
Bolt EV	Orion Township, Michigan, USA	Production has ended and will restart on a new platform.
Corvette	Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA

This global manufacturing strategy allows Chevrolet to optimize costs and logistics. While many full-size trucks and SUVs, which are central to the brand's identity, are built in U.S. plants, several crossovers and smaller cars are produced in Mexico or through international partners like GM Korea. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), found on the driver's side dashboard or doorjamb, will explicitly state the final assembly plant. The first character of the VIN indicates the country of origin (e.g., '1' or '4' for the U.S., '2' for Canada, '3' for Mexico).

As a guy who just bought a new Silverado, I was curious about this too. My salesman made a point of saying my truck was built right here in the States, in Indiana. It felt good to hear that. But when my wife was looking at a Trailblazer, we found out it's made in South Korea. So it really depends on the model. Check the window sticker or the VIN—the first number tells you the country.

Chevrolet utilizes a complex global supply chain. Key manufacturing hubs for the North American market include the U.S. industrial belt and Mexico. For instance, the profitable Tahoe and Suburban are assembled exclusively in Arlington, Texas. In contrast, models like the Equinox are primarily manufactured in Mexico. This geographical distribution is a strategic decision based on labor costs, supply chain efficiency, and trade agreements.

Don't assume every Chevy is built in Detroit anymore. It's a global company. You'll find their big, profitable vehicles like trucks and the Corvette are made in American factories in places like Texas and Kentucky. But for many of their smaller, more price-sensitive cars and SUVs, production happens in Mexico or other countries to keep costs competitive. Always look at the VIN on the car itself to know for sure.

From my perspective, the "where" is less important than the "how." I've driven Chevrolets built in the U.S., Mexico, and South Korea. The build quality has more to do with the specific factory's standards and the model's design than the country on the label. My Korean-made Trax has been just as reliable as my brother's Michigan-made Traverse. Focus on the vehicle's reliability ratings and take a thorough test drive rather than worrying too much about its origin.
