GM Canada sales decreased 31 percent to 39,355 units during the fourth quarter of 2021. Sales decreased at all four GM brands offered in North America, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC.
GM Canada Sales Notes – Q4 2021
GM Canada sales experienced a drastic decrease during the fourth quarter of the year, with each of the company’s four brands posting double-digit declines. The results were caused by ongoing industry-wide supply chain issues that significantly limited vehicle production, dealer inventories, and – as a result – sales volumes.
“Despite continued inventory constraints the industry faced in 2021, GM delivered strong year-end sales results thanks to high customer demand across our portfolio,” said Vice President, Sales, Service and Marketing at GM Canada, Sandor Piszar, in a statement. “General Motors and our dealers had several key accomplishments, including a record year for Cadillac sales and sales gains for many of our utility vehicles. In fact, GM Canada is on track to continue our decades-long leadership in fullsize SUVs. Thanks to the resilience of our team and our dealer partners we’re looking ahead to more success in 2022,” he added.
Despite the general downturn, GM’s newest full-size SUVs posted healthy sales gains in Canada during the fourth quarter. This includes triple-digit increases for models like the Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, as well as double-digit increases for the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. In addition, the Buick Envision – a compact crossover rather than a full-size SUV – posted healthy gains.
