67% Of GM Vehicle Lineup To Be Refreshed Or Redesigned For 2019-2020

An overwhelming majority of the GM vehicle lineup will be either refreshed or completely redesigned for the 2019 and 2020 model years in the United States market, according to a forecast analysis performed by GM Authority.

That figure consists of the introduction of at least 31 new models. Of these future GM models, 19 will be all-new vehicles that have been completely redesigned and re-engineered and 12 will be refreshed or updated.

2019 Model Year

We already know which GM vehicles will be all-new or updated for the 2019 model year, since the automaker has already announced these models.

2020 Model Year

Where things get more interesting is for the 2020 model year, which is expected to bring major releases of all-new models.

All-New Models:

  1. Chevrolet Mid-Engine Corvette
  2. Chevrolet Silverado HD (2500HD/3500HD)
  3. Chevrolet Trax
  4. Chevrolet Tahoe
  5. Chevrolet Suburban
  6. Buick Encore
  7. GMC Sierra HD (2500HD/3500HD)
  8. GMC Yukon
  9. GMC Yukon XL
  10. Cadillac Escalade
  11. Cadillac Escalade ESV
  12. Cadillac CT4
  13. Cadillac CT5
  14. Cadillac XT6 (new segment entry)

So, that’s a total of 31 all-new or refreshed models out of 45 potential ones, representing 67 percent of the GM vehicle lineup in the Untied States. Looks like The General has a sound product product offensive on its hands.

About The Predictions

  • Expectations based on public announcements and GM Authority predictions
  • We count the extended-length Escalade ESV and Yukon as XL as separate models from the regular-length Escalade and Yukon variants
  • All-new model: a vehicle that has been completely redesign and re-engineered
  • Refreshed model: a vehicle that is receiving a mild update consisting of new front and rear fascias (otherwise called a midcycle enhancement, in GM parlance)

  3. Long long time GM fan, but very disappointed in GM for stopping production on Larger “ family cars, like the Impala. Love this car. It’s roomy and likes sharp. Not you typically Soccer moms car. We All don’t live by Left Coast California standards. Build bigger family size cars for Adults. Guess I will be looking rake where?
