Despite where a vehicle is ultimately assembled, the parts that go into it usually come from several different countries. The 2025 Chevy lineup is certainly no different, with parts sourced from trading partners like Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and China, reflecting just how deeply integrated the global supply chain is when it comes to modern auto manufacturing. Now, we’re taking a closer look at the vehicle parts content by country for the 2025 Chevrolet lineup.
For starters, we should mention that U.S. and Canadian parts content are combined in this analysis, as individual parts content between the two countries isn’t available – illustrating how intertwined these two nations are under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Unsurprisingly, models which are assembled in the United States and Canada tend to have a higher percentage of U.S./Canadian parts content, while vehicles assembled in Mexico tend to have a greater proportion of Mexican-sourced components. For example, the 2025 Chevy Colorado, which is built at the GM Wentzville plant in Missouri, contains 51 percent U.S./Canadian parts, whereas the 2025 Chevy Equinox, which is assembled at the GM San Luis Potosà plant in Mexico, consists of 49 percent Mexican parts. Other models are more balanced – the 2025 Corvette, for example, has between 40 and 41 percent U.S./Canadian content and 31 to 32 percent Mexican-sourced parts.
South Korea also plays a significant role in supplying parts, especially for small crossovers like the Trailblazer and Trax. The 2025 Trailblazer, for instance, consists of 52 percent South Korean components, while the 2025 Trax has 48 percent South Korean content. Both models are also assembled in South Korea.
Notably, the 2024 Blazer EV and 2024 Equinox EV previously contained 18 percent Chinese parts, but for the 2025 model year, GM appears to have eliminated Chinese content from these vehicles altogether. Rather, South Korea has taken over some of the parts sourcing, now supplying 20 percent of the components for the 2025 Blazer EV and Equinox EV, demonstrating how GM is actively reducing its reliance on China for EV-related supply chains in response to increased taxes on Chinese-made components.
Check out the table below for the full 2025 Chevy model parts content breakdown by country. Note that the numbers do not add up to “100 percent,” as the remainder of components is sourced from countries not listed here.

As the Trump administration continues to threaten high tariffs on imported goods, including goods from Canada and Mexico, production costs are expected to rise considerably once these taxes go into effect. That includes not only car parts, but costs related to steel and aluminum, as well.
Comments
Oh, they can raise prices until they’re blue in the face, and likely will, but customers are no longer buying once the tariffs kick in. How’s that bucket of apples?
Your table would be more informative if you included US proposed/current tariff rate, and the tariff rate imposed on US goods exported to that country. Then you will see the disparity between the two. If they are equal we should have no problems.
WOW – shows need for manufacturing in USA! we have the resources, should not have to depend on other countries for large percentage of our items.
Henry Ford and William Durant knew 120 years ago the benefits of us/ Canada production. They set up facilities outside of the US for good reason then, and now. Trump is trying to rewrite history to his own benefit.
There will be some tit-for-tat for a little while. I suspect that there will be some changes in other areas of concern and then a lowering of tariffs. Perhaps to a lower level than they were before as we and our trading partners make a critical examination of how tariffs have been applied in the past and what the current situation looks like.
I’m not sure about how history is being rewritten or how Trump benefits. I believe his goal is to make the global trading world more equitable for the US as we have perhaps given up more than our share since WWII. It looks to me like Europe and Asia have been largely rebuilt at this point.
Sure, just throw up a factory, shouldn’t take more than few days. You live in a delusional world.
I bet they said the same thing when they first moved production to China. Yet they still did it. Now they want to cry foul because its become a national security issue as proven by the pandemic when they did their Zero Covid policy, and they don’t want to go through the hassle of packing up boxes to come home or relocate to a more reliable country. I agree with David down below. I don’t feel bad for them. At some point, Darwin has to do his job.
Well Orion is sitting idle waiting on 400,000 people to decide they want a $100,000 EV pickup. It’s not looking like that’s gonna happen anytime soon so they can use that facility. Won’t have to build a thing.
If anyone thinks the price of a new vehicle is high. Just wait until all the tariffs kick in. Thank you Donald!!
Inflation is based upon how much money is in the economy and price is determined on what the consumer is willing to spend. If the consumer is not willing to spend at X price and supply grows, prices will come down. I remember the F150 had 15k on the hood in 2009 because no one had any money and no one was buying.
Joe G, if you really believe prices are going to go down I have some swampland you might be interested in.
Crash an economy hard enough and you will get deflation. The problem is, like prices, wages drop too and you enter a deflationary spiral that is even more difficult to get out of than an inflationary one. We landed with deflation during the Great Depression and briefly during the initial Covid lockdowns before the Dems threw money at people not working and drove up inflation to near Carter Administration levels.
I’ll never forget all the dealers that went out of business as a result. I bought a 2009 SX4 new and within two months it closed its doors for good. Had to take it to a dealer all the way at the other side of the Bronx to get free maintenance period items done on it.
I would pay any amount at all, no matter how high for a new car to support the efforts of the Commander in Chief. He is going to make everything right. I cannot afford a new car, or a used car. But if I could, I would. I really wish I had a better job, my company bosses all drive brand new cars , I bet they can afford them at any price.
We will all be able to afford them when our two presidents mandate that all workers will be given higher wages and stockholders, manager bonuses are all forced to be second in line to higher wages for workers.
You obviously never took a business class or invested any significant amount of money in a company….
Stockholders will NEVER come in second to customers. They are literally the ones directly investing in the companies. And that is nothing new and not a US only problem. This is a trait of corporations since the Rockefellers, Morgans, Vanderbilts, and Carnegies.
However, the success of the company also depends on how happy the customers are and if your customer base dwindles, so do your stock prices and stockholders are left with peanuts. Its a balancing act. An ecosystem. Hence the eco in economy. You throw one thing off balance, like throwing money at a vibrant economy that was artificially stalled, (*cough**cough* lockdowns), and the ecosystem fails.
As long as the clutch pedals and manual shifting components for new corvettes are made in the States of America we will keep Corvette prices at all time lows.
Interesting chart. Overall average looks like roughly 1/3 US, 1/3 Mexico and 1/3 elsewhere. Would be interesting to see the Canada content breakout.
The tariffs are meant to be paid for by the manufacturers make them realize that they need to have components made in the USA it’s also meant to stop us companies from moving manufacturing to say Mexico
Like John Deere ( make billions but still want to move manufacturing to Mexico and pay 5.00 an hour
I had a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix Base and traded it for a 2014 Impala Limited which I drive today. Both were assembled in Oshawa, though the GP had a USA/Canada parts content of 90% and the Impala had a 70% USA/Canada parts content. The same damn vehicle and the content shrunk that much. It sickens me that GM outsourced and put people out of work just to squeeze a bit more profit out of those W vehicles.
I believe I found that information on KOGOD.
These manufacturers get massive tax breaks in the united states then move production to other countries. ENOUGH. My vehicle purchases will be used from now on, until they care about me I don’t care about them!
They are never going to “care” about you. This is capitalism buddy, profit is the only motive.
Many of these models only add up to about 70-75% of the total US / Canada / Mexico / South Korea / China sourced components. There’s a lot left from other countries. I wonder which ones? Germany? Brazil? Taiwan? France?
Let’s talk trucks. Truck pricing has nothing to do with actually manufacturing cost and everything to do with “what the market will bear.” Trucks are the massively fat cash cow of GM. All this conversation about price increase is nothing but dramatic theater because if GM really wanted to, they would absorb the minor cost increases, until this all blows over, which we all know it will. When you consider the billions that GM has dumped into massive EV manufacturing over capacity, all coming from truck profits, – absorbing- would be the smart thing to do and stay out of the politics.
See “Chicken Tax”. A long standing tariff that was jacked up light truck prices for years. Even more ” winning ” on the way!
A base price Silverado work truck will run you $37k the same a base F150. A base price Colorado will run you $31k and a Ranger will run you $33k. A base Toyota Tacoma will run you $31k and this one, unlike the other US made ones, is made in Mexico (so the savings seem to be stopping somewhere inside Toyota and not making their way to the consumer). Those prices are in line with just about everything else.
The reason many of these trucks are a whopping 70k plus is because people want Cadillac features in what is supposed to be a work vehicle. Features like nappa leather, heated and cooled seats, panoramic sunroof, and so on. It has nothing to do with tariffs and everything to do with buyer preferences and supply and demand. Back when the Chicken Tax passed in 1964, these trucks in the 70s, 80s, and 90s they were still very much affordable.
Don’t blame those high prices on the Chicken Tax or because they are American Made.
It comes down to this:
Low prices, higher foreign content, more global production
High prices, lower foreign content, more US production
You make the call.
It’s not GM, Management, Unions, or Trump that got us where we are today with soooo many things be made over sees. It’s us, Americans. In our quest for material goods we continue to buy what ever is cheapest regardless of where it’s made. Look at pictures of oil producing countries and communist China in 1970 when our national debt in today money was 2 trillion. Then look at pictures of those countries today. That’s why we’re in the mess we’re in now. Our money is now their money.
On the car side of things: 1970 Vega sold 277,000 units. Had 10 exterior colors and 4 interior colors, 4 different transmission and could be equipped with stand alone options. Compare this to a new almost anything (vette excluded) vehicle GM makes, and you can see how far we have fallen in vehicle choices and individualism.
maybe GM should look at all the recalls they have for all the NON-US mfg parts they put in cars. Seems with all the parts made out of the US, maybe some one would be smart enough to bring mfg back to the US.
