The GM Authority Take

GM Russia sales experienced a significant decrease in May due to restrictions on mobility and trade generated by COVID-19 in the country. In fact, this is the second consecutive decline in the company’s sales in the Russian market after a whopping 80 percent drop in April. In contrast, sales had risen sharply in each of the first three months of the year.

All GM vehicles offered in Russia saw significant declines in May with the exception of the Cadillac XT6, which was launched in the country in February. However, the Cadillac XT5 had the smallest decline during that month, becoming the automaker’s best-selling model in the country, both in May during the first five months of the year. It should be noted that, since the reduction in the supply of Chevrolet models in 2019, Cadillac outsells Chevrolet in the Russian market.
