General Motors (GM) has reported a 7% year-over-year increase in U.S. sales for Q2 2025, contributing to a robust 12% growth in the first half of the year, far outpacing the estimated 4% growth in the overall auto industry. With this performance, GM has emerged as the U.S. automotive industry leader in both total and retail sales for the first six months of 2025.
The investments we have made in our crossovers, SUVs, and pickups – both gas and electric – along with great execution by our employees, suppliers, and dealers, have made GM the engine of growth for the U.S. industry this year,” said Duncan Aldred, GM Senior Vice President and President of North America.
Key Highlights:
- Buick led all mainstream brands with a 29% year-over-year sales increase, thanks to strong crossover demand.
- Chevrolet recorded its best first-half performance since 2019, up 9%, driven by record sales of the Equinox and other crossovers.
- GMC posted record first-half sales, with the Sierra contributing to GM’s sixth consecutive year leading the full-size pickup market.
- GM maintained its position as the full-size SUV leader for the 51st straight year.
On the electric vehicle (EV) front, GM’s momentum continued with EV sales more than doubling in Q2, reinforcing its spot as the No. 2 EV seller in the U.S. Chevrolet became the best-selling EV brand during the quarter, while Cadillac emerged as the luxury EV market share leader, marking its best retail share since 2014.
Additionally, GM Envolve, the company’s fleet and commercial sales division, reported growth in both market share and overall sales in H1 2025.
With a refreshed lineup including the Chevrolet Trax, Traverse, Equinox, GMC Acadia and Terrain, and Buick Envista and Encore GX, GM has not only set crossover sales records but also solidified its position at the forefront of the U.S. auto industry’s recovery and transformation.
