GM sales jump 16% in September as Cadillac shines
General Motors' deliveries in China rose 16 percent year on year to 343,773 vehicles in September, led by strong sales at Cadillac, Buick and Baojun.
Last month, Cadillac sales soared 63 percent from a year earlier to 12,539 vehicles on demand for the XT5 crossover and the ATS-L and XTS sedans.
Buick deliveries advanced 23 percent to 108,325 on volumes generated by the Excelle GT and Verano sedans, and also the Envision crossover.
Baojun sales jumped 33 percent to 62,719 vehicles as deliveries of the 730 MPV surged 45 percent.
Chevrolet sales edged up for the second consecutive month, increasing 3 percent to 51,932 vehicles. GM hopes to fuel Chevrolet's turnaround with the redesigned Cruze sedan -- now in dealer showrooms -- and the next-generation Equinox crossover, which goes on sale in China next year.
With the aid of price cuts this year, GM's Wuling microvan brand maintained sales growth for the sixth month in a row. Wuling delivered 108,225 vehicles in September, up 6 percent year on year.
In the first nine months, GM's China sales increased 9 percent from a year earlier to 2.72 million vehicles, a record high for the period.
