hevrolet continued into the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s competing with Ford, and after the 

Chrysler
Corporation formed Plymouth in 1928, Plymouth, Ford, and Chevrolet were known as the "Low-
priced three".[16] In 1929 they introduced the famous "Stovebolt" overhead-valve inline six-cylinder
engine, giving Chevrolet a marketing edge over Ford, which was still offering a lone flathead four ("A
Six at the price of a Four"). In 1933 Chevrolet launched the Standard Six, which was advertised in
the United States as the cheapest six-cylinder car on sale. [17]
Chevrolet had a great influence on the American automobile market during the 1950s and 1960s. In
1953 it produced the Corvette, a two-seater sports car with a fiberglass body. In 1957 Chevy
introduced its first fuel injected engine, [18] the Rochester Ramjet option on Corvette and passenger
cars, priced at $484 ($4,406 today).[19] In 1960 it introduced the Corvair, with a rear-mounted air-
cooled engine. In 1963 one out of every ten cars sold in the United States was a Chevrolet. [20]
During the 1960s and early 1970s, the standard Chevrolet, particularly the deluxe Impala series,
became one of America's best selling lines of automobiles in history.
The basic Chevrolet small-block V8 design has remained in continuous production since its debut in
1955, longer than any other mass-produced engine in the world, although current versions share few
if any parts interchangeable with the original. Descendants of the basic small-block OHV V8 design
platform in production today have been much modified with advances such as aluminium block and
heads, electronic engine management, and sequential port fuel injection. Depending on the vehicle
type, Chevrolet V8s are built in displacements from 4.3 to 9.4 litres with outputs ranging from 111
horsepower (83 kW) to 994 horsepower (741 kW) as installed at the factory. The engine design has
also been used over the years in GM products built and sold under
the Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick, Hummer, Opel (Germany), and Holden (Australia) nameplates.
In 2005, General Motors re-launched the Chevrolet marque in Europe, using rebadged versions of
the Daewoo cars produced by GM Korea.[21]

The Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid is the all-time top selling plug-in electric vehicle in the U.S. Volt sales in the
American market passed the 100,000 milestone in July 2016.[22]

The Chevrolet division largely recovered from the economic downturn of 2007–2010 through
launching new vehicles and improving existing lines. GM began developing more fuel efficient cars
and trucks to compete with foreign automakers. In late 2010 General Motors began production of
the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt, sold as the Opel/Vauxhall Ampera in Europe,[23] which received
multiple awards including the 2012 North American Car of the Year, European Car of the Year,
and World Green Car of the Year. The Volt/Ampera family was the world's best selling plug-in
electric car in 2012 with 31,400 units sold.[24] The Opel/Vauxhall Ampera was Europe's top selling
plug-in electric car in 2012 with 5,268 units, representing a market share of 21.5% of the region's
plug-in electric passenger car segment.[25][26] Combined global Volt/Ampera sales passed the 100,000
unit milestone in October 2015. [27] As of June 2016, the Volt family of vehicles ranks as the world's
all-time top selling plug-in hybrid, and it is also the third-best-selling plug-in electric car ever, after
the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S.[28] Volt sales in the American market passed the 100,000
milestone in July 2016.[22]
In October 2016, GM began production of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, the first ever affordable mass
market all-electric car with a range over 200 mi (320 km).[29][30][31] The Chevrolet Bolt won several
awards including the 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year award, the 2017 AutoGuide.com Reader’s
Choice Green Car of the Year, Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2017, Green Car Journal's
2017 Green Car of the Year, and was listed in Time Magazine Best 25 Inventions of the Year of
2016.[32]
On February 14 2021, Chevrolet unveiled the 2022 Bolt EUV and redesigned Bolt EV. [33] [34]

Mexico
Mexico has a mix of Chevrolet models from different GM brands and platforms branded as
Chevrolet. The models come from Chevrolet USA, GM Korea, Mexico and other origins. Examples
of Opel-sourced vehicles are Vectra, Astra, Corsa, Meriva, Zafira and Captiva (Opel Antara). Mexico
also has some cars of its own, such as the Chevy C2, which is a reworked older-generation Corsa B.
Vehicles based on US platforms are the Avalanche, the Suburban, the Equinox, the Tahoe, the
Cheyenne (which is similar to the Silverado), the Aveo, the HHR, the Traverse, the Malibu, the
Camaro and the Corvette. The Chevrolet Optra, assembled in South Korea by GM Korea, was also
sold in Mexico. The European Epica was sold as a business-only vehicle. GM also manufactures
Chevrolet vehicles such as the Suburban and Avalanche in Mexico for export to other markets,
chiefly the US and Canada; those vehicles are no longer assembled in Mexico.

Asia
China
In 2009 China became Chevrolet's third-largest market, with sales of 332,774 vehicles, behind only
the United States and Brazil (1,344,629 and 595,500 vehicles respectively). [36] By 2010, Chevy sold
just over half a million, with the Cruze being its best seller there. [37]
A total of 673 376 locally-manufactured Chevrolets were sold in China in 2018 (down from a record
of 767 001 in 2014). In 2018, Chevrolet held just 2.90% share of the Chinese market (down from a
record market share of 5.33% in 2012). [38]
The best selling Chevrolet models in China by 2019 were the Cavalier (~ 10 000 units per month).
Malibu (~ 3500 units per month), Equinox (~ 2000 units per month), Cruze - at one time the best
selling model (~ 1500 units per month), Sail (~ 1200 units per month), new Orlando (~ 1000 units per
month), Malibu XL (~ 800 units per month), Trax (~ 100 units per month), Lova RV (~ 100 units per
month), representing just 9 of the staggering total of 628 (sic) models of passenger cars being
produced in China by February 2019.[39]
India
Main article: Chevrolet Sales India
Launched by GM's India operations, Chevrolet is among the more recent auto brands. Until 2003,
GM India—originally a joint venture with Hindustan Motors, sold the Opel Corsa, Opel Astra and
the Opel Vectra. Chevrolet officially began business in India on June 6, 2003. The Corsa and Astra
were built at a plant in Halol, Gujarat.
Chevrolet sold the Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Optra, Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet
Tavera, Chevrolet Captiva, Chevrolet SRV, Chevrolet Beat, Chevrolet Sail and Chevrolet Aveo U-
VA. The Chevrolet Forester, a rebadged Subaru, was imported directly from Fuji Heavy Industries in
Japan until 2005. The Cruze and Tavera were built at the Halol plant. Chevrolet also was the sole
Engine supplier for the Formula Rolon single seater series in India. In 2017, GM ceased the
production and sale of Chevrolet cars in India, but it continues to run service centers.
Indonesia
In 1999, Opel was rebranded to Chevrolet as a coincidence of Chevy's entry to Indonesia.
Chevrolet stopped selling cars and ceased production in Indonesia by the end of March 2020. [40]
