Due to uncertainties regarding U.S. import tariffs leading to possible price increases, car shoppers were fairly active during the first few months of the calendar year. While Chevy dealer inventory dropped during that time, it has risen back up in May.
According to the latest data provided by Cox Automotive, Chevrolet had a 65 days supply during the month of May 2025, up from the 60 days supply figure recorded the month before, which represents an 8.3-percent increase. Inventory is just below May 2024’s 69 days supply.
As a reminder, the industry sees a 60 days supply as optimal for offering consumers choice while not overloading dealers with units that might linger on their lots and require hefty incentives to move out.
Among GM brands, Chevrolet dealer inventory is the lowest, followed by GMC with a 77 days supply, Buick with a 78 days supply and Cadillac with an 87 days supply. Meanwhile, the industry average stands at 70 days, up from a 66 days supply in April 2025.
Comparing Q1 sales to current available in-stock and in-transit Chevrolet vehicles across U.S. dealerships, the ICE Chevy Blazer, Chevy Malibu, Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Trax are the models with the lowest inventory levels. At the other end of the spectrum, the Chevy Blazer EV, Chevy Silverado EV and Chevy Equinox EV have the highest inventory levels.
Cox Automotive stated that there were 2.47 million new vehicles in inventory across U.S. dealers on June 2nd, 2025, compared to 2.49 million units on May 1st, a 0.8-percent decrease. Inventory is also down 14.5 percent compared to June 3rd, 2024. The analysis also mentions that showroom traffic peaked in mid-April, but has slowed down to more seasonal norms since, possibly indicating that consumers are turning back to a “more-measured car buying approach.”
Lastly, the average listing price for new vehicles at the end of May was $48,883, a 3.2-percent increase compared to the end of May 2024. The Chevrolet brand’s average transaction price rose significantly in May 2025, reaching $49,461.

My local dealer here in the Midwest has very little inventory on the lot. They mail me cards regularly wanting to buy my wife’s 2019 Nox Premier.
I’m all done buying Chevrolet products. They don’t stand behind their products
Sad, so far mine have been problem free, 2012 Silverado, 2019 Equinox, 2009 Pontiac G-6, and 2007 Pontiac Solstice.
