GM Canada sales decreased 10.5 percent to 63,260 units during the third quarter of 2020. Sales declined at the Chevrolet and GMC brands, while increasing at Buick and Cadillac.
GM Canada Sales Notes – Q3 2020
While the auto industry remains impacted by effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, GM Canada full-size pickup truck sales showed strength with year-over-year growth in heavy duty models. Additionally, retail sales showed some signs of recovery, and the company gained market share in the third quarter.
“Our dealers continue to do an outstanding job managing inventory to get customers into the vehicles they want, while providing proper safety protocols to facilitate the purchasing experience,” said Sandor Piszar, GM Canada vice president, sales, service and marketing. “With RV and boat sales booming in Canada due to COVID-19 limitations on traditional vacations and air travel, dealers reported strong demand for vehicles with utility and hauling capability, and our large pickups, and new crossover and SUV entries were hot sellers.”
New crossover deliveries continued to gain sales momentum during the quarter, including volume increases for the Buick Encore GX and Chevrolet Trailblazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT4 and Chevrolet Blazer also rose healthily. In addition, customers can now purchase GM’s all-new lineup of full-size SUV lineup including the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2021 Suburban, 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade will arrive in dealer showrooms this fall.

Comment
although we have a virus -NO SEDANS- cheap interior material – oil burning engines- under power models – poor transmissions- Cadillac srx headlight problems – poor safety standard packages – poor colors interior and exterior – poor customer service ( customers waiting for refunds ) and MARY running things ,, it could be worst
