GM to offer hybrid SUVs in strategic pivot from electric: Report
The move follows dealer complaints and rising U.S. hybrid demand as GM tries to regain market share from Toyota and Honda.
- General Motors plans to produce hybrid versions of the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia at its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant, marking a strategic shift toward electrified powertrains.
- Dealers have pressured GM to introduce hybrids as the automaker's U.S. market share dropped to 16.6% this year from 17.4% last year, while hybrid leaders Toyota and Honda gained ground.
- GM will invest over $2 billion in the Lansing region, including $1.25 billion for the assembly plant, while restructuring a $500 million U.S. Department of Energy grant to support hybrid production.
- CEO Mary Barra told analysts last week the automaker will introduce hybrids in multiple segments, a pivot from its previous all-electric focus following changes under the Trump administration.
- The Lansing Delta Township factory, which produced a record 291,000 vehicles in 2025, will serve as the production hub, though GM provided no specific timeline for when the hybrid models will launch.
