Chevy commanded over half, or 61 percent, of total GM utility sales, followed by GMC with an 18 percent share and Buick and Cadillac each with a 10 percent share.
The compact Chevy Equinox crossover posted a 44 percent increase to 46,646 units, representing about a sixth of all GM utility sales with 17K more deliveries than the next best-selling utility. That would be the full-size Chevy Tahoe SUV, which posted a 22 percent increase to 29,585 units. The full-size Chevy Traverse crossover followed with a 136 percent jump to 25,388 units. That means Chevy utilities were the top-three GM utility vehicle sellers, accounting for over a third, or 37 percent, of all GM utility sales.
GM’s all-electric utilities currently on sale, the Chevy Bolt EV, Bolt EUV and Cadillac Lyriq, saw a cumulative 226 percent leap in sales to 14,745 units, accounting for five percent of overall GM utility sales.

During a presentation given at the recent GM Investor Day event held this past November, GM President Mark Reuss touched on a wide variety of forthcoming vehicles from across the GM brand spectrum. Those include several next-generation crossovers and more all-electric vehicles.
We expect sales of GM utilities to continue growing in the near- and medium-term future, as the automaker introduces more products via refreshed or all-new models, while also increasing production volumes of key models.

Comments
My employer buys lots of Equinoxes and Silverados.
GM cannot crack the code and sell volumes like Toyota & Honda with one vehicle. Nox and Terrain together are impressive but I keep waiting for a GM winner.
