What brands fall under GM?

General Motors (GM) is one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world, with a diverse portfolio of brands under its corporate umbrella. From iconic American nameplates to global automotive powerhouses, GM's brands span a wide range of vehicle types, price points, and market segments.


The GM Brand Portfolio


General Motors currently owns and operates several major automotive brands, each with its own distinct identity and target market. The primary GM brands include:



  • Chevrolet - GM's largest and most well-known brand, offering a wide range of vehicles from compact cars to full-size trucks and SUVs.

  • Buick - A premium American brand known for its comfortable, upscale vehicles.

  • GMC - A brand focused on trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, often marketed as a more premium alternative to Chevrolet.

  • Cadillac - GM's luxury brand, competing with other premium automakers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.


In addition to these core brands, GM also owns several international brands that cater to specific regional markets:



  • Holden - A prominent Australian brand that was discontinued in 2020 but still has a presence in the country.

  • Opel - A German brand that was sold to the French automaker Groupe PSA in 2017 but has since been reacquired by GM.

  • Vauxhall - A British brand that is closely related to Opel and shares many of the same models.

  • Baojun - A Chinese brand that focuses on affordable, entry-level vehicles for the Chinese market.

  • Wuling - Another Chinese brand owned by GM, known for its small commercial vehicles and microvans.


While GM's brand portfolio has evolved over the years, with some brands being sold or discontinued, the company's core American brands - Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac - remain the backbone of its global automotive operations.
