General Motors has decided to end production of the Envoy XUV, a five-passenger sport utility vehicle that can also be used as a pickup truck, a spokeswoman for the plant that makes the vehicle told the Associated Press (AP).

Kathy Odem told AP the plant will continue to make seven-passenger versions of the Envoy, including the Envoy Denali, a luxury version of the vehicle.
The company reportedly said the decision will not affect jobs at the plant – at least 250 workers were laid off in January after GM made widespread production cuts.
The Associated Press noted that Inalfa Roof Systems, which makes the sliding rear roof for the XUV, said GM told suppliers last week that it would stop making the vehicles amid lacklustre sales – production, which began 18 months ago, will cease on March 31 at GM’s Oklahoma City plant.
