Introducing OnStar One Essentials

OnStar One Essentials, the new OnStar package, brings together the features in one convenient bundle for retail customers:

  • OnStar’s Automatic Crash Response is a comprehensive automatic crash notification system, connecting fleets and drivers to critical assistance in the moments after an accident, even if they are unresponsive. Specially-trained OnStar Emergency Advisors can immediately call into the vehicle to provide medical assistance and relay vital information to first responders.

  • Remote vehicle commands allow fleets to manage their vehicle wherever they are, using their smartphone. From the myChevrolet or myGMC mobile app, they can lock/unlock, remote start, and locate a vehicle, as well as get on-demand diagnostics and real-time vehicle status notifications, whenever they have those features enabled.

  • Navigation and voice assistance adds simplicity to the drive with apps like Alexa Built-in, Google Assistant, Google Maps, Maps+, and Waze on eligible vehicles.

OnStar One Essentials will be included for eight years with every new vehicle purchase at no additional cost. The 2025 Chevrolet Trax will be among the first to get the package. 

GM Envolve fleet and business customers will receive these standard features for eight years with OnStar One Business Essentials. Retail and fleet vehicles in Canada will receive similar standard content.
