GMC Poised to Expand Lineup with Small Crossover

A new entry-level crossover from GMC is getting closer to production.
Spy photographers caught a heavily camouflaged version of the vehicle — it is smaller than the compact GMC Terrain — testing for the first time in Arizona.

The baby GMC is expected to be based on GM’s Gamma-2 architecture that underpins the Buick Encore, Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Trax in the U.S.
The expected subcompact crossover could be called Granite, after a 2010 concept. It is expected to arrive in showrooms in 2020.
It’s hard to tell many design aspects of the vehicle.

GMC has been planning a smaller crossover/SUV for some time. However, unlike early expectations of such a vehicle being a body-on-frame Jeep Wrangler-fighter, the production crossover is expected to compete against the Jeep Renegade and Honda HR-V.

Duncan Aldred, head of Buick and GMC worldwide, has said a vehicle smaller and less expensive than the Terrain – starting at about $26,000 – is “a logical place” for the brand to expand. It is expected to arrive in showrooms in 2020.
