Chevy Seeker Crossover Won’t Be Available In North America

GM unveiled the 2023 Chevy Seeker in Shanghai last month, revealing Chevy’s latest global compact crossover. Critically, GM Authority has learned that the Chevy Seeker will not be available in North America.

At present, the 2023 Chevy Seeker is set to launch in the Chinese market later this year, slotting in between the Chevy Trailblazer and Chevy Equinox with regard to Chevy’s crossover lineup. Additionally, the new crossover is expected to be announced for additional international markets in the next few months. That said, the Chevy Seeker will not be offered in the U.S. or Canada, per GM Authority sources.

As seen during its debut event in China last month, as well as subsequent GM Authority images of the crossover testing without camouflage in Michigan, the 2023 Chevy Seeker offers an engaging design that is intended to draw in younger buyers, with a fascia that features slick horizontal lighting signatures paired with vertical, forward-facing lighting elements. The profile view shows off an angled shoulder line that rises towards the rear of the vehicle, emphasizing the rear haunches and fenders, lending the crossover a sportier flavor. The taillights complement the look as well, wrapping into the rear quarter panels.

Inside the cabin, the 2023 Chevy Seeker features a new dash layout and dual 10.25-inch, horizontally oriented displays. The new Seeker also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and over-the-air software updates.

As for what’s under the skin, the 2023 Chevy Seeker rides on the GM VSS-F vehicle set, while motivation is sourced from GM’s new eighth-generation turbocharged 1.5L Ecotec engine. As GM Authority covered last year, GM launched the new Ecotec engine family with the all-new Buick Verano Pro in China, while peak output is rated at 181 horsepower. A continuously variable transmission is the exclusive transmission option on the table.

Notably, the 2023 Chevy Seeker may be one of the next Chevy-branded crossovers built in South Korea starting next year, in addition to production in China.

  1. IMHO, I see no logical reason to offer the Seeker in North America. GM already offers countless boring, anemic and effeminate CUV’s for soccer moms everywhere.

    We GM Performance guys are still waiting for a legitimate Wrangler/Bronco fighter. Where is it?

    1. Agree , not all Chevy Fans want street rockets as daily drivers. I think this vehicle would be a great fit especially if the Equinox goes electric . This could fill the gap.
      Small engine , CVT , great mileage and decent power just what we need for everyday commutes
      Really disappointed this is not for North America, it could be in my driveway along with a 23 Colarado Z71
      GM will have plenty of high power electric cars for the Go Fast Chevy crowd

  5. The new CUV to be produced in Korea will start production in December this year. The Korean CUV also has an export plan in North America. Perhaps this CUV is the global version of Seeker. North American consumers will have to look forward to this car.

  6. This dont make sense to me. The Seeker fills the need for a affordable compact crossover for younger buyers since the Equinox will be a more expensive EV. Anyway, we will see how this goes.

  7. Soooo many of these boring CUV’s.

  8. You know I think you will be very surprised if this pops up as the 2024 Trax replacement next year. Why else would GM be running these around Detroit?

  9. Evo69… The Equinox is going to continue to be ICE as well as EV and if you ask me the current Equinox is better looking this the seeker. So in conclusion the Equinox will remain affordable as it always was. And who knows maybe GM is testing the waters to see how many people would want and buy the seeker! 🤌🤌
