GM posts strong Q2 and first half sales on industry leading growth

General Motors announced that its U.S. sales increased 7% in the second quarter and 12% in the 2025 first half. GM led the U.S. automotive industry in total and retail sales in the year’s first six months, with sales growth well ahead of the estimated 4% total auto industry growth.

“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 VP and president of North America.

During the quarter, Chevrolet because the best-selling EV brand. Cadillac is the luxury EV market share leader1 in Q2, and had its best retail market share since 2014.
