What other brand does Chevy own?
Chevrolet does not own other brands. It is itself a division of General Motors (GM), which owns several other automotive brands.
Context: Chevrolet’s place in GM’s portfolio
To understand the question, it helps to look at GM’s structure. Chevrolet is one of GM’s four core global brands, serving as the mass-market counterpart to Buick (premium mainstream), Cadillac (luxury), and GMC (truck-focused).

Overview of the main brands
The following list shows GM's main consumer brands as of today. These brands form the backbone of GM's global business and often share engineering platforms and supplier networks.
- Cadillac
- Buick
- GMC
- Chevrolet
GM's core brands cover a wide spectrum from luxury to rugged trucks, allowing the company to target different market segments.
Global regional brands and joint ventures
China-specific partnerships
Beyond the four core brands, GM grows its footprint through regional brands and joint ventures. In China, GM operates through SAIC-GM-Wuling, which uses the Wuling and Baojun brands to serve price-sensitive segments.
- Wuling
- Baojun
These partnerships enable GM to tailor products to local preferences while sharing development costs with partners.
Historical notes: defunct or reshaped brands
Retired and revived brands
Over the years, GM has retired or reshaped several brands. Pontiac and Saturn were discontinued, and Hummer was relaunched as a GMC sub-brand with electric models. Holden, once GM’s Australian division, ceased local manufacturing in the late 2010s and transitioned away from a standalone GM brand in favor of imports and regional operations.
Summary
Chevrolet is not a brand that owns others; it is part of General Motors, which also owns Cadillac, Buick, and GMC, along with regional joint ventures such as Wuling and Baojun in China. The GM brand family has evolved through retirements, revivals, and strategic partnerships to adapt to global markets.
GM's brand portfolio illustrates how Chevrolet sits within a larger corporate family rather than owning additional brands itself.
