How many SS did Chevy make?
The Chevrolet SS was produced in a limited run, with roughly 9,000–14,000 units built for the U.S. market from 2014 through 2017.
What is the Chevy SS?
The Chevy SS is a rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered sedan derived from the Holden Commodore VF platform. It was introduced as a 2014 model and exported to the United States from Australia, running through 2017 before GM ended the program. It uses a 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine rated at about 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, and it was paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode; a manual option was not offered for the U.S. market.
Production numbers
Industry sources have not published an official GM total, so analysts summarize production with commonly cited figures. The estimates below reflect the range most often cited by automotive outlets.
- Estimated total production for the U.S. market: roughly 9,000–14,000 units
- Production years in the U.S.: 2014–2017 (model years, with initial shipments arriving for the 2014 model year)
These figures underscore the Chevy SS's status as a limited-run, enthusiast-focused model. The program lasted only a few years, and official totals have not been publicly published by General Motors.
Context and implications
Beyond the United States, the Holden VF Commodore platform on which the Chevy SS was based continued to be sold in various markets under Holden and other brands. For Chevy, the SS represented a rare, high-performance sedan offering in a period of strategic realignment around global platforms and brand priorities. Its discontinuation in 2017 highlighted GM’s shift away from Holden-origin vehicles in the U.S. market.
Summary
The Chevy SS was a limited-run performance sedan produced for a relatively brief window (2014–2017). While GM hasn’t released an exact official total, industry estimates place U.S. production in the low tens of thousands, commonly cited as about 9,000–14,000 units. In the broader context, the model stands as a notable, if short-lived, chapter in Chevrolet’s performance heritage.
