General Motors led the U.S. auto industry in sales for the first quarter, as momentum in March helped results partially recover from a slower January and February, when winter storms impacted the market.<\/p>\n
GM sales in Q1 totaled 626,429 vehicles, a decline of 9.7% compared with the same period a year earlier. GM expects a similar decline for the industry as a whole. Year-over-year comparisons are significantly skewed by an exceptionally high selling rate in March of 2025, when industry-wide sales soared to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of more than 18 million units.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw showroom traffic and sales steadily improve after January\u2019s storms and March was a much stronger month. We are well positioned for the future because of our operating discipline and the compelling value we offer, from affordable SUVs to premium vehicles and trucks.\u201d \u2013 Duncan Aldred, GM Senior Vice President and President of North America.<\/p>\n
In Q1, GM grew its market share in full-size pickup trucks and continued to be the industry\u2019s #2 EV seller. GM delivers value across more price points than any automaker, including a portfolio of six Chevrolet and Buick vehicles with a starting at about $30,000 or less.<\/p>\n
