GM Authority reports GMC is reassessing reviving the Jimmy nameplate as a midsize SUV, with unnamed sources saying a V8 power option is being considered.
The Jimmy was formerly a body-on-frame model tied to the Blazer lineage, and a 2019 Motor1 article had reported a similar GM project that was shelved after GM's late‑2018 restructuring.
The report says relaxed emissions and fuel-economy rules influenced the reassessment, and requests for comment to GMC went unanswered.
Reviving the Jimmy would give GMC a dedicated midsize offering to fill the gap between the compact Terrain and the three-row Acadia, and could position GMC against Bronco- and Wrangler-style rivals.
