Vehicle Set Strategy (VSS) is a series of fourautomotive platforms developed by American manufacturerGeneral Motors for their vehicles as part of an effort to consolidate their platform usage for the present and future.[1] GM eventually plans to have the VSS platforms underpin over 75% of theirmodels, the exceptions being theBEV3 platform used for electric vehicles and specialty vehicles like theCorvette.[2]
VSS-F is GM's primaryfront-wheel drive (F) platform as of 2024, considered a successor to theGamma,Delta, andEpsilon platforms. It is planned to underpin manysubcompact tofullsize cars as well as GM's smallercrossovers in the future, a pattern established by the first models to use it, the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Buick Encore GX.[3] The platform can also be used forall-wheel drive vehicles.
Of the four, this platform has the most developed implementation plan, with three variants already established:[4] which are VSS-F A forminicompact cars (i.e.Chevrolet Spark), VSS-F B/C forsubcompact andcompact cars and crossovers (e.g.Buick Encore andChevrolet Sonic), and VSS-F D/E for midsize and fullsize cars (i.e.Chevrolet Malibu andImpala).
