General Motors is developing hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, and GMC Acadia at its Lansing Delta Township assembly plant, where it is investing $1.25 billion. The move marks a strategic shift after GM's investments in electric vehicles failed to gain traction, amid high U.S. gas prices and limited fuel-efficient offerings compared to rivals. Currently, the only hybrid GM produces for the U.S. market is the Chevrolet Corvette.
The hybrid models will be based on mechanically similar three-row SUVs that are among GM's strongest sellers. While GM confirmed the Lansing plant as the production site and its broader plans for hybrid expansion, it has not disclosed specific timelines or technical details. Part of the investment comes from a Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant restructured with the U.S. Department of Energy.
