July 6, 2020 2:52 pm

GM China sales decreased 5.3 percent to 713,600 units during the second quarter of 2020, a notable recovery compared to the first quarter 2020, which was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales decreased at Chevrolet, Cadillac and Baojun brands, while increased at Buick and Wuling – the automaker’s two brands with highest volume.

General Motors does not provide individual sales performance by model in China, but we do have the following information.
