GM Korea announced on the 1st that it sold a total of 47,081 vehicles globally during May. Of these, domestic sales amounted to 808 units, while overseas sales (based on shipment) reached 46,273 units. This marks the fourth consecutive month since January, March, and April that GM Korea has recorded monthly sales exceeding 40,000 units.

In May's performance, domestic sales still showed no clear signs of recovery, but overseas sales accounted for a significant portion. Global strategic models, for which GM Korea led the entire process from planning, design, to production, drove export results. The Chevrolet Trax Crossover (including derivative models) sold 29,988 units overseas, significantly boosting the brand's overall performance. The Chevrolet Trailblazer (including derivative models) also contributed with 16,285 units exported.

These two models previously captured approximately 43% of the small SUV segment in the U.S. market last year. The Trax Crossover has ranked first in domestic passenger car exports for four consecutive months from January to April this year, earning high recognition in the global market.

Domestic sales totaled 808 units, a 0.4% decrease from the previous month and a 42.6% drop compared to the same period last year. In the domestic market, the Trax Crossover sold 648 units, accounting for the majority of total domestic sales. This model showed a 5.7% increase from the previous month (613 units). The Trailblazer sold 143 units domestically, and the American premium pickup truck, Silverado, sold 15 units.

Cumulative sales from January to May this year totaled 227,389 units, including 4,222 units domestically and 223,167 units overseas. This represents an 11.4% increase compared to the cumulative sales of 204,190 units in the same period last year. Notably, cumulative overseas sales from January to May increased by 13.1% year-on-year.

Gustavo Colosi, Senior Vice President of Sales, Service, and Marketing at GM Korea, stated, "The Chevrolet Trax Crossover continues to maintain positive momentum in the global market." He added, "In June, we will strive to enable more domestic customers to experience the emotion and charm of the Chevrolet brand through various purchase benefits, including installment programs, cash support, and fuel subsidies, as well as special promotions."
