Chevrolet model rollouts and EV development

Overview

In late July 2026 Chevrolet dealers across the United States began promoting a broad 2026 lineup that emphasized family‑oriented trucks and SUVs, including the Colorado ZR2, Tahoe LT, multiple Silverado trims, Traverse and Trax, with prices from $26,270 to $71,890 and a focus on safety, passenger capacity and cargo flexibility.

Willis Chevrolet in Iowa later announced the 2027 gasoline‑powered Equinox, featuring a 1.5‑liter turbo engine, standard all‑wheel drive, up to 1,500 lb of towing capacity, an 11.3‑inch infotainment screen and a suite of driver‑assistance technologies. The dealer also reiterated General Motors’ plan for a second‑generation Equinox electric SUV, slated for a global launch between late 2028 and early 2029 on the new, lower‑cost BEV‑N architecture, after the first‑generation EV’s sales fell sharply.

In July 2026 GM confirmed that the upcoming Equinox EV will replace the first‑generation model ahead of schedule and will be built on the dedicated BEV‑N platform to improve cabin space and reduce manufacturing costs. At the same time, GM announced a 2028 debut for a next‑generation Chevrolet Onix, which will use Hyundai’s K2 platform (shared with the Hyundai i20). The new Onix will be larger, offer more cargo capacity, feature two‑tone paint and deeper side creases, and be engineered to accommodate electrified powertrains and advanced driver‑assist systems. Both initiatives reflect GM’s broader strategy of platform sharing and accelerated EV rollout to refresh Chevrolet’s affordable electric lineup after a turbulent sales period.

These developments illustrate Chevrolet’s simultaneous expansion of conventional models and rapid evolution of its electric‑vehicle portfolio, with new platforms and partnerships aimed at lowering costs and expanding market appeal.
