General Motors this year is expected to discontinue two subcompact crossovers that were once among its top sellers: the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax.
GM will end production of both South Korea-built crossovers in August, said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions.
GM Authority reported the end of production earlier.
Both crossovers overlap with slightly larger siblings within the subcompact segment: the Buick Encore GX and the Chevy Trailblazer, which went on sale in 2020.
"Instead of updating the subcompact crossovers, GM went a step further and addressed the shortcomings of these popular models," Fiorani said. "With their longer wheelbases, the Encore GX and Trailblazer sport more rear-seat room and more cargo space in a package that's only a few inches longer."
GM spokeswoman Kellie Van Maele did not directly confirm the end of Trax and Encore output.
