GM renews China joint venture with SAIC for 20 years after restructuring. 05 Aug 2026, 11:49 am Updated - 01:57 pm DETROIT (Aug 4): General Motors said on Tuesday it had renewed its joint-venture agreement with China's SAIC Motor for 20 years after a lengthy restructuring in the Chinese market that included plant closures and the elimination of some models. The extended 50-50 joint venture between the automakers will result in more vehicle-development work being done in the world's largest auto market to appeal to local tastes. GM said the company would focus on its Cadillac and Buick brands in China, where it would discontinue sales of its Chevrolet brand. The terms also will allow GM to use China as an export hub to ship Buicks and Cadillacs to the Middle East, Africa, South America, Mexico and elsewhere in Asia, the Detroit automaker said. The joint-venture renewal will allow "local innovation to be shared globally," Shanghai government-owned SAIC said in a statement. GM was one of the first global automakers to enter China when it won a coveted partnership with SAIC in 1997 and grew to become one of the country's top-selling carmakers. But like many global car companies, GM has seen its sales in China crater over the past decade, as domestic automakers have grown more sophisticated and the market has moved sharply to electric vehicles. GM sold 1.9 million vehicles in China last year, down 51% from 2016. Its Chevy brand suffered as other lower-cost competitors took market share. GM will continue to build Chevrolets and export them from China through a separate joint venture it has with SAIC and Wuling. SAIC-GM, which has delivered more than 20 million vehicles over nearly three decades, will now compete with a portfolio of locally developed products, the company said. The joint venture last year launched the Buick Electra sub-brand of electric and hybrid vehicles, which was developed in China. The Electra E7 SUV had more than 10,000 sales in its first month on the market. It will be the first premium model that the joint-venture company will sell overseas, starting in October. The joint-venture automaker has no plans to export to the United States, GM said. Tariffs and national security policies aimed at China-developed technology have kept Chinese automakers out of the US market. SAIC-GM plans to launch at least 30 electric or hybrid vehicles by 2030. GM in 2024 began restructuring its China business amid steep market-share losses. The automaker recorded two non-cash charges totaling more than US$5 billion on its joint venture in China. GM earlier this decade began losing money in China after having once logged around US$2 billion in annual profits. Since the restructuring, GM has posted several consecutive quarters of profit, most recently notching US$83 million in second-quarter income. GM's renewal commitment to the China operation via the partnership with SAIC underscored the challenges for the US automaker to entirely wean itself from reliance on China for revenue, low-cost manufacturing and technology know-how even as geopolitical tensions persist. GM had directed several thousand of its suppliers to scrub their supply chains of parts from China, reflecting concerns over potential geopolitical disruptions to its operations, Reuters reported in November. The joint-venture renewal follows a trend among automakers, including Honda Motor Co and Volkswagen AG, to renew partnerships with Chinese firms despite their significant losses in market share and profits in China.

General Motors and China's SAIC Motor have extended their joint venture for 20 years, pushing its expiration to 2047. The original 50-50 partnership was established in 1997 for 30 years and was set to end next year. The extension comes as China's automotive market undergoes significant shifts, with domestic automakers gaining ground against traditional Western brands. GM's China earnings dropped from around $2 billion annually in 2018 to consecutive losses in 2024 and 2025. The company reported $248 million in equity income through the first half of this year following restructuring actions. The renewed agreement will focus on domestic sales of Buick and Cadillac models whilst exporting Chevrolet vehicles built in China to non-US markets. Since 1997, the joint venture has produced over 20 million vehicles.
Cadillac's solution to fewer buttons is to make touchscreen 'buttons' bigger. Published Aug 4, 2026, 2:40 PM EDT Ian Wright joined CarBuzz as an automotive journalist and photographer in 2018. His career started with specialist publications, covering everything from Harley-Davidson to Ferrari. Before writing for a long list of specialist automotive publications, he was a mechanic and driving instructor, along with more creative outlets, including writing and media production. Growing up just outside of London as part of a car-centric family, Ian fell in love with driving early and spent his 20s involved with classic cars, competition cars, and logged many hours off-road - often accompanied by a camera. General Motors is late to the realization that the majority of drivers hate touchscreens. However, GM is committed and some Cadillac models are about to get what amounts to, in software terms, a 'quality of life' update. A series of updates based on customer feedback is on the way, and buttons are part of it. But it's not the buttons people want. Nor is it the CarPlay or Auto that they want, which begs the question: is this really based on customer feedback? GM desperately wants you not to miss CarPlay or Auto. While GM hasn't completely killed off Apple CarPlay and Android Auto yet, that's the plan. But to successfully do so, GM's infotainment system has to check a lot of boxes. Among them is the ability to easily access various functions, and to help, "buttons" are getting bigger. These aren't actual buttons, but the little digital icons on the screen you touch to access different features. Needing to push an over-the-air update to increase the size of touch targets for frequently used controls suggests there's a long way to go. However, GM has seen the importance of music services like Spotify and the update includes a new side-mounted queue showing upcoming songs. Along with a new queue, there's also a dropdown source selector that "lets you effortlessly switch between audio apps." More generally, the update brings sharper graphics and text for head-up displays when fitted, and the Bluetooth setup process is made smoother by removing a step.The music and display improvements are notable, but the update also hints at something more consequential - a quiet signal that GM may be planning to remove physical controls from its cars entirely. Second users and seat controls. For shared vehicles, owners will be able to link a second user profile to the seat memory buttons. Essentially, changing to the second profile will adjust the seats and the user interface and settings for the second driver. For the seats, there are new on-screen graphics mirroring the layout of the physical seat controls on the door. As that's a redundant control, it's likely an indication that GM is planning on moving those controls to screen only. The over-the-air updates will roll out to 2025 and 2026 models, including electric Cadillacs like the Lyriq, Optiq, and Vistiq, but also on the CT5. Other GM-branded vehicles should see some of the updates, including the seat memory profiles. Electric vehicles get an extra update with improved labels and descriptions for the in-vehicle charging app to make features easier to understand. CarBuzz insight - why this matters: It's hard to see how GM will pull off getting rid of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone mirroring features and not lose customers. The convenience of linking the infotainment system directly to driver's phones and apps is a huge deal to a lot of people. Even more so for users who are used to Apple Maps and conveniences like its link to their contacts. As doomed as the commitment to removing CarPlay in particular looks, it will be interesting to see how much of an effect it has and if GM can make an infotainment system that can be close to as useful. GM is using the Google Built-In system and plans to put Google Gemini AI into its cars, but that forces people into Google's ecosystem when Apple's mobile operating system holds close to 60 percent of the US market share.
General Motors is outpacing Ford in the electric vehicle race, according to recent analysis. GM's market capitalisation stands at $77.9 billion, with a portfolio including Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick brands. The company's strategy focuses on profitability over rapid production scaling. GM has incurred $10.9 billion in EV-related charges since the second half of 2025 whilst restructuring operations. The approach is yielding results. North American adjusted EBIT grew 40% year-over-year to $3.4 billion, with margins improving to 8.6%. In the first half of 2026, GM generated $92 billion in revenue and $6.3 billion in adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM expects EV losses to improve by $1 billion to $1.5 billion this year, having already realised roughly $500 million of that improvement.
Everything Arabgt know so far about the 2030 Chevrolet Corvette C9. Chevrolet is already looking ahead to the next chapter of Corvette history. The ninth generation Corvette, known internally as the C9, is expected to enter production in 2029 before reaching showrooms as a 2030 model. Chevrolet has not confirmed the car officially, but several reports point in the same direction. Rather than starting from scratch, the company is expected to build on the formula introduced by the mid engine C8, refining its design, improving everyday usability, and pushing performance even further. The C9 will likely use an updated and possibly lighter version of the current platform. That would allow Chevrolet to improve handling, efficiency, and performance without abandoning the layout that transformed the Corvette into a serious rival for some of Europe's finest sports cars. A cleaner design and a more open cabin. The most noticeable changes are expected to appear in the styling. The C8 delivered a major performance leap, but its sharp bodywork, busy surfaces, and aggressive aerodynamic details divided opinion among Corvette fans. The C9 is expected to adopt a cleaner and more cohesive appearance, with inspiration coming from the Corvette CX concept shown by General Motors during Monterey Car Week in 2025. That concept featured smooth bodywork, wide rear shoulders, and proportions that subtly recalled classic front engine Corvettes. The production C9 is unlikely to copy it directly, especially since the CX was created as a 2,000 horsepower electric hypercar with four motors. Its influence will probably be limited to the overall design language. Inside, Chevrolet is also expected to rethink the cabin layout. One of the most common complaints about the C8 is the tall center divider between the driver and passenger, which makes the interior feel narrow and isolated. The C9 could introduce a more open and welcoming cabin while still keeping the driver focused layout that has become a Corvette trademark. The V8 is not going anywhere. Despite the industry's rapid move toward electrification, the C9 is still expected to launch with a naturally aspirated V8. Reports suggest Chevrolet may use a new 6.7 liter engine paired with an eight speed dual clutch automatic transmission. The engine is expected to belong to the LS6 family and could produce around 535 horsepower and 520 lb ft of torque. Some early reports referred to it as the LT6, but that name already belongs to the 5.5 liter flat plane crank V8 used in the Corvette Z06. General Motors has also invested heavily in its Small Block engine plants in the United States. That commitment makes it increasingly likely that V8 power will remain central to the Corvette lineup for many years, even as hybrid technology becomes more important. Stronger hybrids and a possible electric Corvette. The C9 lineup is expected to follow a familiar structure, with versions such as the Z51, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 likely to return. Hybrid performance will also play a bigger role. Chevrolet introduced electrification to the Corvette with the E Ray and later pushed the concept further with the ZR1X. Future C9 hybrids could use two electric motors on the front axle instead of one, improving traction, torque distribution, and corner exit performance. A fully electric Corvette remains possible, although it is unlikely to arrive at the beginning of the C9 generation. It could join the range later, using a flexible architecture designed to support combustion engines, hybrid systems, and full electric powertrains. Expected launch date and price. The Corvette has always served as a showcase for General Motors' latest performance technology. Features such as Magnetic Ride Control and advanced traction management systems first proved their value on the Corvette before spreading across other GM products. The C9 is expected to continue that tradition by combining traditional V8 performance with more advanced electrification and chassis technology. Pricing is still speculative, but the entry level Stingray could start at around $78,000. High performance hybrid models may climb as high as $220,000. If current reports prove accurate, the Chevrolet Corvette C9 will begin production in 2029 and arrive as a 2030 model. It will retain the mid engine layout and V8 character that defined the C8, while introducing a cleaner design, a more comfortable cabin, and a broader range of electrified performance options.
