The GM Authority Take

Chevrolet Chile sales continue their intermittent behavior by registering a new drop in October, after posting a slight increase in September and a double-digit drop in August. Chevrolet’s commercial instability is itself the result of a lack of stability in inventory of the brand’s best-selling models. Even so, this lack of steadiness has not altered the Bow Tie’s sales leadership in the Chilean market.

Chevrolet’s overall slump in October in Chile was caused by a significant contraction of the popular Chevy Sail, which resulted in it losing its typical spot as the brand’s best-selling model in the country. Imported from China, the small sedan saw sales decline significantly due to lower unit availability, moving less than half the volume of the Chevy Groove, which took over to take the number one sales spot during the month.

Also note the healthy rise in Chevy Colorado sales, prolonging its positive commercial streak in Chile. In fact, Brazil-made midsize pickup was the brand’s second best-selling model during October. Similarly, the Chevy Silverado emerged with one of its highest monthly sales records in the Chilean market, thanks to the official launch of the updated model in October.
