The GM Authority Take
GM Mexico sales suffered significantly during May, the second full month that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Mexico. In fact, the 64 percent contraction to 5,812 units is similar to the performance the company registered in April, when it suffered a 65 percent decline, delivering 5,716 units. The negative performance in May represents GM Mexico’s third consecutive drop in sales, following a healthy 18 percent growth recorded in February.
May also represents the third month in a row that all four GM brands in Mexico saw a decline in sales, with Buick and Cadillac again being the most affected. Among a multitude of models with negative performance, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Tornado stand out as the only GM vehicles that managed to increase their sales last month, with increases of 26 and 8 percent respectively. Meanwhile, only the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra still maintain positive year-to-date sales performance.
