WCRC Researched Brand · World's Most Powerful Brands 2026 · Second Global Mega Edition

Chevrolet

Chevrolet is the American car and truck brand of General Motors, with a full-line range from the Spark to the Silverado pickup and the Corvette sports car. GM does not report Chevrolet separately; the parent reported 2025 revenue of US$185.0bn and holds a BBB credit rating. GM's US market share rose to 17.2% from 16.5%, with Chevrolet models such as the Silverado and Equinox central to that position. WCRC's research found Chevrolet strongest in recall and identity. It is a household name, its bowtie mark is one of the most recognisable in the automotive world, and it is deeply embedded in US culture. Strong truck loyalty and heavy advertising support from its parent keep it a leading choice for American buyers.

Full 50-parameter assessment

What WCRC found

  1. A household name with very high recall and a recognisable bowtie mark.

  2. First-choice strength in the US market, where parent GM's share rose to 17.2%.

  3. A full-line portfolio running from the Spark to the Silverado and Corvette.

What holds it back: Trust in the parent trails auto peers, and evidence on sustainability communication and circularity is thin, with GM's ignition-switch legacy still remembered.
