Is Chevy no longer making sedans?

Yes. In the United States, Chevrolet no longer offers traditional four-door sedans, with the Malibu discontinued after the 2023 model year and no sedan-sized replacement announced. The brand's current focus is on SUVs, pickups, and electric vehicles.


Current lineup in the United States


The active U.S. catalog centers on body styles such as crossover SUVs, full-size and midsize pickups, and sports cars—not conventional four-door sedans.



  • Chevrolet Silverado (full-size pickup)

  • Chevrolet Silverado EV (electric)

  • Chevrolet Colorado (mid-size pickup)

  • Chevrolet Equinox (compact SUV)

  • Chevrolet Blazer (midsize SUV)

  • Chevrolet Traverse (three-row SUV)

  • Chevrolet Tahoe (full-size SUV)

  • Chevrolet Suburban (full-size SUV)

  • Chevrolet Trailblazer (subcompact SUV)

  • Chevrolet Bolt EV / Bolt EUV (electric hatchbacks)

  • Chevrolet Camaro (two-door sports car)

  • Chevrolet Corvette (two-door sports car)


Note: The Bolt family is categorized as electric hatchbacks rather than traditional sedans, and there are no new four-door sedans in active production.


Why Chevrolet moved away from sedans


Analysts and industry observers point to consumer demand and profitability trends favoring sport-utilities and pickups. GM's decision to sunset several passenger cars in North America, including the Malibu, reflects a broader shift toward higher-margin SUVs and electric vehicles.


As a result, Chevrolet's product strategy in the U.S. emphasizes crossovers, trucks, and EVs, rather than adding new four-door sedans to the lineup.


Past sedans now retired


Chevrolet has retired several traditional sedans over the past decade. The following examples illustrate the trend.



  • Chevrolet Malibu — last produced for the U.S. market through 2023

  • Chevrolet Cruze — discontinued in the U.S. by 2019

  • Chevrolet Sonic — discontinued in the U.S. around 2019


The absence of current sedans in the U.S. aligns with a brand-wide shift toward SUVs and trucks.


Global context


Chevrolet remains present in many markets outside the United States where sedans continue to be offered under different models or regional strategies. However, the current U.S. trajectory reflects a broader industry trend toward crossovers and electrification.


Implications for buyers


For buyers seeking a traditional four-door sedan, the Chevrolet lineup in the U.S. offers alternatives in the form of SUVs that deliver similar interior space and practicality, and in some cases sportier two-door models like the Camaro. For those who insist on a sedan, options may lie with other brands or non-U.S. Chevrolet markets where sedans remain available.


Summary


Chevrolet has largely ceased producing traditional four-door sedans in the U.S., with the Malibu retired after 2023 and no explicit sedan successor announced. The brand now prioritizes SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles, while preserving two-door sports cars such as the Camaro and Corvette. Global availability of sedans varies by region, but the current U.S. strategy signals a sedan-free lineup for the foreseeable future.
