The Chevrolet Equinox was the only model to post an uptick in sales volume during July 2019 in South Korea

The GM Authority Take

Chevrolet Korea sales fell again in July, with eight of the brand’s nine models offered in that market posting decreases in sales volume. The Chevrolet Equinox was the only exception to that turn of events, as it was the only Bow Tie model to see sales grow in July. Chevy’s compact SUV has registered a significant increase in year-to-date deliveries, but that’s mostly a result of July 2018 being the second month of Equinox sales in the South Korean market.

The Chevrolet Spark is the brand’s best selling model in South Korea

Despite the negative trend in Chevrolet Korea sales, it is worth noting that the 6,754 units sold in July represent the highest monthly sales figure that the brand has seen thus far in 2019 in the market. July also saw the brand’s two South Korean best-sellers – the Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Malibu – post monthly sales records thus far this year, with 3,304 and 1,284 deliveries, respectively.

  • Korea is in a trade war with Japan. It’s really hurting their semiconductor industry. Which is their #1 export. It’s also making it really cheap to export vehicles from Korea.
