General Motors ending Chevrolet Malibu manufacturing

General Motors will cease production of its iconic Chevrolet Malibu sedan. 

The move comes as the Detroit-based automaker plans to revamp the Kansas facility where it makes the Malibu so that it can produce the upcoming electric Chevrolet Bolt model there.

“To facilitate the installation of tooling and other plant modifications… GM will end production of the Chevrolet Malibu in November 2024 and pause production of the Cadillac XT4 after January 2025,” a GM spokesperson told FOX Business.

The company also builds the Cadillac XT4 at the Fairfax facility.

GM has been shifting away from cars in favor of building more crossover and sport utility vehicles in recent years. The Malibu is the last remaining Chevrolet car offered in the United States besides the Corvette.

In the six decades the Malibu has been available, more than 10 million people have bought the sedan, according to reports.

“When production resumes in late 2025, Fairfax will produce both the Bolt EV and XT4 on the same assembly line, which gives GM flexibility to respond to changes in consumer demand,” the GM spokesperson said.
