The average transaction price (ATP) of a new Chevy vehicle declined in July 2023, falling 1.5 percent to $47,294 per vehicle as compared to $48,006 during July 2022.
On a month-over-month basis, the ATP for a new Chevy vehicle also decreased 2.2 percent from $48,332 in June 2023, according to a report from Kelley Blue Book.
This decline in Chevy ATP figures is reflected by a similar decrease in year-over-year transaction prices for parent company General Motors. When including all four of GM’s U.S.-market brands in the calculations – which includes Chevy, Buick, Cadillac and GMC – the ATP for a new GM vehicle was $51,565 in July 2023. This represents a one percent increase when compared to July 2022 numbers, where GM’s ATP number stood at $51,057 per vehicle. On a month-over-month comparison, General Motors’ average transaction prices decreased 1.7 from $52,462.
Overall, the auto industry recorded a 0.4 percent increase in ATP figures year-over-year from $48,135 in July 2022 to $48,334 in July 2023. In contrast, ATP dropped 0.7 percent on a month-over-month basis, where vehicles were selling for an average of $48,671 in June 2023.
The report identifies two factors for this change in July 2023 ATP figures, including:
- Electric vehicle prices continue to decline
- Incentives reach one-year high
“New-vehicle price inflation has all but disappeared in 2023,” Cox Automotive Research Manager Rebecca Rydzewski said in a prepared statement. “New-vehicle prices, primarily driven by cuts in luxury and electric vehicles, are decreasing as inventory is steadily improving. With higher inventories and higher incentives helping to keep downward pressure on prices, there certainly are good reasons for shoppers to be heading back into the market. The year-over-year decline of EV ATPs has been led by Tesla slashing prices on its popular models. Tesla prices are down nearly 20 percent versus a year ago, and other EV models, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, have been following Tesla’s lead. While automakers report losing money on electric vehicles, they continue to aggressively pursue EV growth strategies.”

Truck transaction prices are coming down. There’s manufacturer and dealer cash incentives, plus 0% on some models. Those cash cows are just starting to come back to reality.
Sales of the new Trax and Trailblazer models are selling like crazy. Most of these are sub $30K bringing down the ATP.
