GM will transfer production of the Buick Envision from China to the USA
- Following GM's decision to transfer production of the Chevrolet Equinox and Chevrolet Blazer from Mexico to the United States (approximately 400,000 vehicles per year), GM has decided to transfer the production of the Buick Envision SUV from China to the United States.
- This model, intended for the Chinese and North American markets, has been produced in China since 2014 and has sold nearly 50,000 units in the United States each year since 2017.
- The carmaker announced that the production of the Envision in USA will start in 2028, that is to say at the time of the launch of the next generation of the model.
- The upcoming Buick Envision will be built on a shared platform with the future Chevrolet Equinox , which will begin production in 2027 at the same Fairfax plant in Kansas City, USA. GM has indicated that it will continue importing the Envision from China to the United States until 2028, even though US tariffs on imported Chinese vehicles remain very high. GM has not specified whether Buick Envision production at SAIC-GM's Yantai plant in Shandong province, China, will continue for Asian markets.
