Is Chevy Equinox made in USA?
No. The Chevrolet Equinox is not built in the United States. As of 2024, the model is assembled primarily in North America at CAMI Assembly in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada, and at Ramos Arizpe Assembly in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico.
Current production sites
The Equinox is produced at two main North American facilities. The following list highlights these sites and their roles.
- CAMI Assembly — Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada: The primary production site for Equinox models destined for the U.S. and Canadian markets.
- Ramos Arizpe Assembly — Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico: An additional production site supporting regional demand and exports into North American markets.
These sites reflect GM's regional manufacturing strategy to align supply with demand across North America.
Production history and context
Over time, GM has shifted Equinox production among several plants to balance costs, capacity, and trade rules. The two principal sites listed above have been the main hubs for recent model years, while earlier generations used other facilities in North America.
- Early generations saw production at multiple GM plants across North America, with CAMI Assembly and other regional facilities serving different markets.
- In the subsequent generations, CAMI Assembly (Canada) and Ramos Arizpe (Mexico) emerged as the two primary production hubs for the Equinox in North America.
- Current practice emphasizes these two sites to meet demand in the United States and Canada, with cross-border logistics supporting regional sales.
GM's manufacturing footprint for the Equinox is shaped by market demand, trade considerations, and plant capacities, rather than a single U.S. manufacturing site.
