GM Shifts Buick Production From China to Kansas Amid Tariff Pressure
23 January 2026
General Motors announced it will build Buick’s next compact crossover in Kansas starting in 2028, ending its reliance on China-built Envision imports that had been hit hard by tariffs.
The move strengthens GM’s US manufacturing footprint and stabilizes Buick’s model lineup, reflecting a broader industry trend of automakers relocating production away from China to avoid tariff exposure.
