Feeling particularly patriotic today? Then you’ll appreciate reading about GM coming out on top in two separate independent studies as the carmaker with the most U.S.-made vehicle models.
According to Cars.com’s annual American-Made Index for 2020, nine of the top 25 models on the list were GM products, more than with any other carmaker.
The report looked over 91 models assembled in the U.S. for the 2020 model year, and even analyzed what percentage of parts were U.S.-made or Canadian-made, as well as country of origin for available engines, country of origin for available transmissions and U.S. manufacturing employees relative to the company’s footprint.

The second study was the American University Kogod School of Business ‘Made in America Auto Index’, where 10 GM models ranked in the top 25 – the most of any carmaker. This study also ranked GM highest among manufacturers for total domestic content across all 2020 models.
“We’re proud of GM’s massive American manufacturing footprint, consisting of 11 vehicle assembly plants, 26 stamping, propulsion, component and battery plants, and 19 parts distribution centers,” said Phil Kienle, GM VP of North American Manufacturing and Labor Relations. “Our manufacturing strength in the U.S. is a team effort starting with our employees and extending to our supplier partners and local communities across the country.”
These are the models that ranked in the top 25 for both surveys: Chevrolet Corvette (Bowling Green, Kentucky), Chevrolet Colorado (Wentzville, Missouri), GMC Canyon (Wentzville, Missouri), Chevrolet Camaro (Lansing, Michigan), Cadillac CT5 (Lansing, Michigan), Cadillac XT4 (Fairfax, Kansas), Cadillac XT5 (Spring Hill, Tennessee), Cadillac XT6 (Spring Hill, Tennessee), GMC Acadia (Spring Hill, Tennessee).
Since 2009, GM has invested over $27 billion in the U.S.
