The GM Authority Take

After 13 consecutive months of being in the red, GM Mexico sales increased dramatically during the month of April – marking a significant recovery for the automaker in the Mexican market. The impressive increase last month was a result of the year-ago timeframe, April 2020, being the first full month of stay-at-home orders imposed by the Mexican government as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the idling of dealerships and manufacturing plants.

Each of GM’s four North American brands saw large triple-digit increases last month in Mexico, notably led by premium marques Buick and Cadillac, with both posting increases of over 300 percent percent. GMC posted a growth rate of 106 percent while Chevrolet saw sales grow 110 percent.

The overwhelming majority of GM models sold in the Mexican market saw positive figures year-over-year, led by the latest generation full-size SUVs – the Chevrolet Suburban / Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon.

Also worth noting is the standout performance of the new 2022 Chevrolet Captiva, which registered 628 units during its first full month on sale in Mexico. The compact crossover, which features seating for up to seven passengers, recently arrived in the Latin country to strengthen Chevrolet’s utility portfolio in an already popular and growing segment.
