The GM Authority Take
The marked drop in Chevrolet Chile sales in August deepens the brand’s negative performance in the South American country, where it has accumulated 11 consecutive months in the red due to a significant loss of volume, itself instigated by changes in the portfolio and the decrease in the inventory of available units. However, this result represents a notable improvement over prior months as total deliveries exceeded 2,000 units.
As was the case in prior months, the decline of Chevrolet Chile sales in August was mainly driven by the collapse in Chevy Sail sales, which is being officially discontinued in the country. Chevrolet’s outgoing entry-level sedan recorded 791 fewer units during the month for a total of 4,167 so far this year. Similarly, the overall decline experienced by other models such as the Chevy Tracker and Onix also contributed to the overall result.
Meanwhile, the Chevy Groove was once again the only model that managed to finish not only August, but also the first eight months of the 2023 calendar year, in the green thanks to healthy double-digit growth. The Groove continues to establish itself as the brand’s best-selling nameplate in Chile, while also holding the title of being the country’s most popular crossover.
