The GM Authority Take

Having made its debut for the 2015 model year, the Tahoe remains a strong seller for Chevy, and we don’t see the 1.8 percent sales volume decrease as a big reason for concern. However, it is worth noting that a decline in Tahoe sales could negatively impact GM’s profitability, since the SUV along with other vehicles based on GM’s K2 platform are significant profit drivers for General Motors.

In addition, the decrease in Tahoe deliveries comes at a time when the market is favoring CUVs and SUVs over other types of vehicles, such as sedans. As such, it will be interesting to see how Tahoe sales fare in the second half of the year.
