End of an Era: Chevrolet Malibu to Discontinue Production in 2021

The Chevrolet Malibu, the final sedan in General Motors’ main brand, is set to end production this year. This was announced by the company, with the car’s production coming to an end in November at the Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas. With this move, General Motors’ Chevrolet brand in the United States will only sell trucks, SUVs and the Corvette sports car.

Following a similar trend set by Ford, who stopped selling the Taurus and Fusion sedans last year and left only the Mustang in their line-up, Chevrolet has decided to discontinue its traditional cars besides the Corvette. Despite being one of its longest-running models with a history dating back to the 1960s when it originated as a more luxurious version of the Chevrolet Chevelle, the Malibu sold over 130,000 units last year, indicating its continued popularity among consumers. With traditional cars representing less than 20% of US auto sales according to Cox Automotive, it seems that companies are increasingly shifting their focus towards trucks and SUVs.
