Three months after the all-new Chevy Seeker was fully leaked in China, General Motors has just officially announced Chevrolet‘s upcoming compact crossover by unveiling the first teaser image in the Asian country.
The automaker announced that it will reveal the Chevy Seeker on July 28th during a special event in Shanghai, where the new model will make its world debut. In particular, the Chevy Seeker represents an entirely new nameplate for the global market that will further broaden the Bow Tie brand’s utility portfolio, positioning itself between the Chevy Trailblazer and the Equinox.
“Chevrolet’s latest global model in China benefits from the brand’s 87 years of introducing legendary SUVs that are fun to drive, functional and purpose-built,” said General Director of Chevrolet for SAIC-GM, Jack Uppal, in a statement. “The Seeker is joining the Blazer, Equinox and all-new Tracker RS to form a fully evolved Chevrolet SUV lineup. It will provide a range of high-quality personalized choices in a fast-growing market segment,” he added.
The first official teaser image of the upcoming Chevy Seeker previews the front end and silhouette confirming the crossover’s muscular proportions already seen in the leaked images. GM says the Seeker embraces Chevrolet’s new global design language and will feature highly expressive looks that will set it apart in the popular compact crossover segment.
The company claims that the interior design of the new Chevy Seeker will break “traditional perceptions” of a utility vehicle with a sporty, state-of-the-art cabin. In keeping with the model’s first interior view we captured back in April, the Seeker’s cabin will be highlighted by a pair of widescreen infotainment screens inspired by the brand’s latest products that give it a high-tech vibe.
The upcoming Chevy Seeker will make its world debut on July 28th in China, where the nameplate will go on sale internationally in the second half of this year. Being officially developed as a global model and built on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, the Seeker is also expected to be introduced in other markets and in fact could also be manufactured in South Korea as GM Authority exclusively announced in May.

Headline says June 28th…
This is all well and good, but what happens if gm is forced to leave China abruptly due to geopolitical concerns? Will they be able to part ways without suffering too much economic loss?
They will join the pharmaceutical industry, the precious metals industry, and many other companies that have sold out the American patriotism for fast profits. Imagine if we had this situation in 1941. WE wouldn’t have had the resources to mount the Arsenal for democracy. We would be speaking German or Japanese today in the United States.
I wouldn’t say patriotism. But the entire world is seeing what happens when you have all your eggs in the same basket. The country-of-freedom China closes the doors for a week of restrictions and europeans aren’t able to buy antibiotics, there aren’t chips, car parts and etc. That’s a hideous scenario.
This was why quitting Europe, a market that was finally nearly profitable was an insane decision. Stellantis and Ford make Europe work and now GM has EVs.
Should China move on Taiwan then GM will be an Americas only company with much of Latam’s stock made in China. This will force GM to merge with Honda or Renault. Maybe US anti trust regulators would allow GM & Ford to team up.
Seeker looks like the new Buick and both cars remind me of Ford Evos China. It isn’t very creative but could fill the Cruize gap, I suppose
