Chevy commanded over half of total GM full-size SUV sales in the United States. However, buyers often cross-shop unibody crossovers, with some models matching the size of their body-on-frame cousins, as is the case for the full-size Chevy Traverse crossover and Tahoe SUV.
Looking at combined GM utility vehicle sales, including body-on-frame SUVs and unibody crossovers sold by Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac, shows that overall GM utility vehicle sales were up 27 percent to 281,229 units. Overall utility sales (up 27 percent) grew six percentage points faster compared to SUV sales alone (up 21 percent), showing similar trends.
