GM to build Honda EV in Mexico, Acura EV in Tennessee
Automotive News
January 5, 2021



General Motors plans to start building two battery-electric crossovers for Honda Motor Co. within four years: a Honda-branded vehicle at a GM plant in Mexico and an Acura-branded vehicle alongside the upcoming Cadillac Lyriq in Tennessee, according to two people familiar with the plans.

Production of the Honda crossover is slated to begin in 2023 in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, where GM builds the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox, the sources said. Automotive News reported last year that GM likely would retool Ramos Arizpe Assembly for EV production by 2024, but GM has not confirmed the plans.

Production of the Acura crossover is scheduled to begin in 2024 in Spring Hill, Tenn., according to the sources, who asked not to be identified discussing future product plans. The Honda and Acura models are expected to be roughly the size of the Lyriq, which is scheduled to go on sale in early 2022.

Re: Report: GM Will Build Honda EV In Mexico, Acura EV In TN

Waiting to see what GM gets in return. How about an Accord repackaged as a Malibu? Return the Cruze based on the Civic?

It would keep GM in two important product categories until the last car is sold in favor of an CUV/SUV, helping dealers, and keeping people in the GM family.

RE: What does GM get? How about "EV Volume"?

An Accord and Civic based GM would be great.

Maybe a Honda, (rebadged Daewoo) made in S. Korea sold in USA isn't so crazy after all?




Stop, please, just stop................
I would rather have a GM automatic transmission then a Honda. Their engines haven't been anything special either in quite a while. What are they slapping in the Accord now, a 1.5t 4-pot? Sounds exactly the same as the 1.5t in the Malibu.......

Yea, this sounds like a greedy GM kind of decision. Lets say by chace the 2 EV's we build for Honda end up having issues. You think Honda is going to take all the blame? or blame 85% of it on GM? didnt we learn not to share tech with Japanese auto makers yet? this is about $$$$, $$$$ going directly into board member's pockets. Sometimes the best deal is no deal. GM closes 4 plants (3 American) but now decides to build more cars.......in Mexico! Hahahahaha!
