GMC vs. Chevrolet: Vehicle Lineup

Since they’re both owned by General Motors, GMC and Chevrolet are considered “cousins” in a lot of ways. Many of their vehicles–for example, the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado–are built on the same platform and have the same powertrain, only differing in terms of features and capabilities. However, while GMC primarily produces trucks and SUVs, Chevrolet also makes small cars, electric vehicles, and sports cars. If you’re looking for more variety, Chevy is probably the way to go. On the other hand, GMC vehicles generally have a higher level of premium luxury, so keep that in mind if that’s important to you! Here’s a brief overview of the lineup of both brands:

GMC Vehicle Lineup

  • Trucks: Canyon, Sierra 1500, Sierra HD
  • SUVs: Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Yukon XL

Chevrolet Vehicle Lineup

  • Trucks: Colorado, Silverado LTD, Silverado HD
  • SUVs: Trax, Trailblazer, Equinox, Blazer, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban
  • Electric: Bolt EV, Bolt EUV
  • Cars: Spark, Malibu, Camaro, Corvette
