Auto dealerships were busy during the month of April, as U.S. consumers were seemingly looking to acquire a new vehicle before prices increased due to the Trump administration’s import tariffs. As a result, new-vehicle inventories have once again dropped in April 2025, including in GMC dealerships.
According to the latest data provided by Cox Automotive, GMC had a 71 days supply during the month of April 2025, a drop from the 74 days supply figure recorded the month before. Inventory also dropped from April 2024’s 79 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, GMC dealer inventory ranks second. Chevy has the lowest with a 60 days supply, while Buick dealers have a 75 days supply and Cadillac vehicle selection is the most plentiful at an 83 days supply. Meanwhile, the industry average stands at 66 days, down from a 70 days supply in March 2025.
Comparing Q1 sales to current available in-stock and in-transit GMC vehicles across U.S. dealerships, the GMC Yukon and the GMC Savana have the lowest inventory levels among the brand’s lineup. The GMC Hummer EV and the GMC Sierra EV currently have the highest estimated inventory levels.
Cox Automotive stated that there were 2.49 million new vehicles in inventory across U.S. dealers on May 1st, 2025, compared to 2.69 million units on April 1st, representing a 7.4-percent decrease. Inventory is also down 10.5 percent compared to May 1st, 2024. The analysis also mentions that showroom traffic peaked in mid-April and slowed down during the last two weeks of the month, 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 April was $48,656, a 1.6-percent increase compared to the beginning of the month and a 2.8-percent jump compared to the end of April 2024. The GMC brand’s average transaction price increased in April 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reaching $66,030.
