GM Design Team Releases Sporty Chevy Crossover Sketch

The GM Design team has shared sketches for an unnamed, sporty-looking Chevy crossover concept on its Instagram page.

This sketch was completed by GM designer Jason Chen and shows a sporty coupe crossover with narrow LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights, large directional alloy wheels and a gloss black painted roof with a rearward sloping roofline. One of the more interesting aspects of this design is the ‘blade’ styling element integrated into the side of the vehicle, which looks as though it pulls inspiration from the side blade on the current C8 Corvette Stingray. The design does not have a GM brand logo on it, but the gloss red exterior color, Corvette-like side blade and contrasting black exterior trim and components lead us to believe it’s a Chevy.

A report published last year indicated GM was working on a battery-electric Corvette crossover, however GM has not said if it is indeed working on such a product. An automotive industry analyst previously predicted that a Corvette sub-brand with multiple models could eventually generate sales of more than 100,000 vehicles annually and be worth $7 to $12 billion. This sketch may serve as a very rough preview of such a product, or it could just be a GM designer having some fun and experimenting a little.

With no real front grille or air intakes, it seems as though this sketch is envisioned as being a battery-electric offering. The vast majority of new GM passenger vehicles that will launch in the coming years will be battery-electric, so it’s not surprising to see GM designers working hard on potential designs for these products. Some of the styling cues from this sketch may be seen in future electric Chevy crossovers, then, like the Chevy Blazer EV, for example. We also see some similarities between this sketch and the Chevy Equinox EV, which will go on sale in 2023 priced from around $30,000.

  1. Just looking at the styling cues, and the rendering, this appears to be an electric 4 door Corvette SUV.

    1. I agree with your observations and personally think the rendering is FUGLY!

  2. I’m pretty sure that looks like Equinox EV

  3. Personally That light bar in the front connecting the two headlights needs to go, makes this look like a cheap economy car, makes the SilvErado look weak

  4. It aligns more with the current Blazer, I’m assuming it’s probably a rough preview of the upcoming blazer SS EV. The wheels looks similar to those in the teaser so idk ?

  5. I see it. I don’t quite know what to make of it. It has clear Chevy design language, but the fact that people have identified it as a Corvette/Equinox/Blazer tells me it’s quite generic. It could even be a Camaro for all we know.

  6. GM is really something…

    GM started Killing off brands like Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, and other brands Like Opel, SAAB, etc., they pilfered…

    Killing off brands didn’t thrill GM enough, so they started Killing Americans.

    This isn’t a car company anymore, its an organized criminal enterprise… RICO… Management must be prosecuted and Incarcerated.

    Most embarrassing of all is GM stock at $47. Tesla at $900. And Mary Barra says GM is the EV leader.

  7. GM pays Mary Barra $20 Million Dollars for her acting skills…

    Exactly what Hollywood pays Meryl Streep, but she has credentials, and Oscars.

  8. So sorry, my bad…

    GM is at $43

    Tesla is at $1,150

    Yep Mary, GM is the EV leader.

  9. Every time I see a new article on GM I laugh. More publicity then substance. Them Blue Oval will suck GM in EV sales and development. Tesla is King….Gm sold 500 EV. The Bolt or redesigned sonic in ev clothing was so overpriced I knew only GM dumb loyalists would buy it. I call it the fire sale. FORD MACH E AND LIGHTING are just the beginning….

  10. Use this as a Camaro cross over like the Mustang. Don’t go f***ing with the Corvette brand. It can stand alone and has done for a long time.

    GM needs to pull their heads out of their a$$ or just shutdown entirely. They have killed off too many brands and stopped producing all full-sized sedans in favor of mall crawlers, SUV and CUV makes. Mary and her cronies need to go.

  11. Bring back the Chev volt do not want an all electric car or van!

  12. Amazed at the number of GM haters on this site! If you hate GM so much why come on here and spread your negativity? Can’t say some positive, go cry some place else!

  13. Looks exactly like the Buick EV sketch and I hope this isn’t the Electric Blazer SS GM was dropping.

    Reply
  14. Just to mention a few but not all What would Harley Earl, Bill Mitchell,Ed Welburn think of it. I’m from the Old GM ideas, try again
