Overview

  • GM announced production of a third electrified Chevrolet model at the Polo Automotivo do Ceará, with manufacturing set to start by the end of 2026.
  • Company leaders said the new vehicle will not be fully electric and will use an electrified system such as a hybrid rather than a battery‑only powertrain.
  • GM executives stated the car will feature a technology already used in global markets but never before produced by Chevrolet in Brazil.
  • The Ceará plant already makes the electric Spark and Chevrolet Captiva EV, and GM said those models helped Chevrolet lead Brazil’s electric SUV segment with about 5,000 units sold in the recent period.
  • The expansion reinforces Brazil’s role as a regional production hub and could affect local jobs, supplier contracts, and the availability of more electrified SUVs for Brazilian consumers.
