The GM Authority Take
Chevrolet Chile sales suffered another significant contraction in May, when the Bow Tie brand registered its second worst monthly performance so far this year in the Chilean market after recording 1,469 deliveries in April. As such, last month’s results deepen the brand’s negative performance in the local market, representing its eighth consecutive monthly contraction in Chile due to low inventory of its most popular models.
Several Chevy nameplates that performed well during the same month of the previous calendar year saw substantial drops in sales volume in May. Between the Chevy Tracker and Onix alone, the brand lost 1,267 units year-over-year. Additionally, significant double-digit drops were recorded by the Chevy Colorado and N-Series trucks.
Curiously, sales of the Chevy Groove and Sail increased in May, as both models have been in the red for months in Chile. In fact, the nameplates were the only Chevy models that were in the green in May. The performance enables the Groove to consolidate its position as Chevy’s best selling model. It’s also worth noting that the Chevy Silverado finished as the brand’s second most popular nameplate in the South American country with a remarkable (for the local market) 209 deliveries.
