What brands are made by Chevy?
Chevrolet itself is a single brand under General Motors and does not manufacture other distinct brands. The broader GM portfolio includes several brands and regional ventures.
From a reader's perspective, you might be asking whether Chevy creates or owns additional brand names, or how Chevrolet fits into GM’s global lineup. This article explains Chevrolet’s role, the four global GM brands, and the regional brands and joint ventures that operate in specific markets.
Current General Motors brands
The core brands GM markets globally span the full range of mainstream to premium offerings.
- Chevrolet
- GMC
- Cadillac
- Buick
These four brands form GM’s primary consumer lineup in many markets, though product focus and market presence vary by region.
Regional brands and joint ventures
Beyond the four global brands, GM participates in regional branding and joint ventures to address local markets, particularly in China.
- Wuling (joint venture with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group) — focuses on budget and compact vehicles in China
- Baojun (joint venture with SAIC and Wuling) — budget-brand in China
Wuling and Baojun operate as GM’s regional brands in China through the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture. They supplement Chevrolet’s presence in the market rather than replacing it.
Holden and the Australian market
Holden was GM’s long-standing Australian brand, but the brand was retired for new vehicles around 2020. Since then, Chevrolet models have been marketed in Australia through GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV), while Holden remains part of the region’s historical narrative.
Bottom line: Chevrolet is one brand within General Motors. GM’s broader brand portfolio includes GMC, Cadillac, and Buick, plus regional joint-venture brands like Wuling and Baojun in China, with Holden’s Australian branding now retired for new vehicles.
Summary: Chevrolet is a single GM brand; GM’s wider brand ecosystem comprises four global brands (Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick) and regional brands/joint ventures in specific markets, such as Wuling and Baojun in China, with Holden having transitioned away from new-vehicle branding in Australia.
