The GM Authority Take

The healthy increase in GM Mexico sales during August continues the automaker’s growth rate in the Latin country. In fact, August represents the seventh consecutive month that GM was in the green in Mexico, while also gaining market share thanks to Chevrolet’s most recent vehicle launches. In fact, the Bow Tie brand saw the highest monthly growth rate with one of its highest totals in recent history.

All-new Chevy Aveo

Once again, the all-new 2024 Chevy Aveo was GM Mexico’s protagonist in August as model practically quadrupled the volume of the previous year with a record 5,649 deliveries – the highest of the new generation Aveo to date. As such, the Aveo becomes the GM’s best-selling vehicle in the local market, while also being the second best-selling individual vehicle nameplate in the entire Mexican market. The number one spot belongs to the Nissan Versa and its 6,922 deliveries.

Chevy S10 Max

In addition, the healthy increases posted by the Chevy S10 Max, the new Chevy Trax, the Chevy Silverado also stand out. These gains made it possible for GM to offset the significant drops in sales volume in the Tornado Van, Captiva, Groove, Onix and Tracker, which sapped a combined 2,000 units from the bottom line. Meanwhile, the all-new Chevy Montana recorded its first four deliveries in the Mexican market during August.
