General Motors recently previewed several of its upcoming all-electric vehicles at the Barclays 2020 Global Automotive Conference held on November 19th. During the event, GM parked three upcoming models on stage, providing a teaser of the automaker’s upcoming battery-powered lineup. Among these was the GMC Hummer EV SUV and Chevy EV pickup, as GM Authority covered earlier. The event also provided our first look at an upcoming Chevrolet EV compact crossover.
Placed directly behind GM CEO Mary Barra, the as-of-yet unnamed Chevrolet EV compact crossover sports a rounded, streamlined front fascia with narrow lighting elements along the top. The fascia comes with a two-tone color treatment with both silver and black, as well as a flowing roofline, funky two-tone wheels, a rear shark fin antenna on the roof, and no obvious door handles.
It’s likely this model is a concept of the forthcoming Chevrolet EV compact crossover, especially given that latter design point. Specs and hard info on this vehicle is currently unavailable. However, the upcoming Chevrolet EV compact crossover is expected to one of the most-affordable models in General Motors’ new EV strategy, likely slotting in above the new Chevy Bolt EV and upcoming Chevy Bolt EUV. in the Bow Tie brand’s lineup.
During the Barclays event, GM confirmed it has 30 new EVs slated to launch globally by 2025, two-thirds of which will be sold in North America. The automaker lists the new Chevy Bolt EV, the Chevy Bolt EUV, a new full-size pickup, several crossovers, and “low-roof entries” (that is, four-door coupes) as slated for North American markets.
An exact launch date, specs, nameplate, and other info on the Chevrolet EV compact crossover are currently unavailable. However, as soon as as learn anything about this new battery-driven crossover, we’ll be sure to share it with you.

I know it’s a small thing, but i like the how they made the ev orange in Chevrolet.
I agree and the badging font, with the raised silver edge, is kind of reminiscent of early square body badging. Just teasing a relatively generic, attractive crossover silouete is nothing to get too excited about though. Pricing would obviously be extremely important as this vehicle will be released substantially behind the model y and mach e.
Because it is a square body badge, it the emblem Chevrolet used on the 70’s Blazer they converted to electric, don’t get too excited, I doubt it will be used on a production Chevrolet because GM hates itself and everything about its past and it has 0 creativity other than doing what every other company is doing, but later, slower and usually with less effort…….
Thirty models world wide. Does that mean we get 10 in the USA in four or five years? In case you haven’t noticed, GM’s EV’s are always four or five years from dealer showrooms. The just revealed Hummer EV, the $113K model, whose first year is sold out, wont be in dealer showrooms until fall 2021. The $70K model for the masses wont be in dealer showrooms for another 2-3 years. Same old story from GM on EV’s, promise the world, in four or five years!
The problem with 30 models world wide is the cost and distribution. As far as cost is concerned in the USA, the $70,000 EV for the masses must be someplace other than the United States and I would like to know how you define “masses”. GM already has a city/urban all electric model called the E300PLUS that was recently launched in China, under $20,000 and a range of 150 to 190 miles and it is not available in the USA! BMW is trying with their Mini EV for $29,000. I looked at a BOLT at the local Chevy dealership where only the Premier model was available for $47,000 dollars, no “tin can” models available. Where is the city/urban EV at an entry level price? All electric models in the USA are largely for the wealthy . Electric vehicles for the masses at affordable prices are currently available in China, supported by the government with incentives for both the manufacturers and consumers. The Chinese government had to do this because the air quality in some of their manufacturing cities was so bad.
You can get a fully kitted out Bolt Premier now for 30k or less depending on options. Prices have gone down quite a bit with what GM is putting on the hood. If you go after MSRP you are paying to much.
I told the salesman that I had seen Bolts at much lower prices and there was silence!!
GM’s Barclay event said 2/3’rds of models will be available in North America. So 20 EV models by 2025 in NA.
As owner of a Chevrolet Volt, that Crossover or the existent Bolt, are vehicles I’m not inrerested in. Not everyone likes SUV’s or Crossovers or is willing to buy one, no matter what. The Volt is one of the best cars I’ve ever owed and I really don’t get why GM discontinued it and why GM doesn’t use the EREV technology in other vehicles. If GM doesn’t produce an EV sedan or an EREV sedan, my next car will be a Tesla Model S or Model 3. It’s a shame to see that in less than 10 years, GM has become in not even the shadow of the leading company it once was.
They have passenger cars in the pipeline. The Barclays presentation this article mentions had “low roof” entries for both Chevrolet and Cadillac, GMspeak for passenger cars.
I’ve heard rumors that they might bring the Volt name back so this might be it 😀
GM is lacking in creativity and leadership. It would make big self-improvement if they take over Nikola and work on fuel cell now!
BMW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, VW, Seat, Kia, Hyundai, Audi, Renault, Peugeot, Citröen, you name it. ALL of them have NOW fully electric SEDANS available at their showrooms.
Toyota and Hyundai went a step beyond by offering (yes, in limited areas) Hydrogen vehicles.
And still the world has a lot of countries that cannot see a surge in buying EVs. Price of the vehicles and charging infrastructure like all the so called Emerging Markets.
Unless you want to call a beautiful and attractive design, cheap EV like the Wuling. I prefer my electric scooter.
So how is it going to change the public desire to go EV by adding 30 EV models? If is not government mandated, it will not, for several more years.
Poor Mary Barra, why does the poor thing look so glum in the picture?
They can keep all of their electric vehicles. I will never buy a electric car or truck, But that doesn’t mean that people that live in big city’s sould not go electric it should be mandatory if you are a Democrat.
Electric is the future my man………
I can’t understand the resistance to electric vehicles here. It costs me about three cents a mile to run my Volt on electric compared to almost $0.07 a mile for a 30 mpg vehicle. Of course the added benefit is that you’re not dumping pollution in the air whenever you’re driving, but the economic payback has to be part of the conversation. I hear complaints about GM here, but I don’t see Ford and Chrysler investing like GM has in this technology. I was going to buy a volt this month but I have decided to wait for the new model in the summer.
I do agree with the gentleman who said Democrats should invest in these vehicles if they’re going to have a car. I could not agree more as Gandhi said, we should be the change we seek in the world. And you save money too. I have solar panels supplying my home, saving money and reducing carbon and an electric car and I’m working on further investments like geothermal heating. All of these systems save money while you were being more responsible to the environment.
Thank you GM.
