GM Korea said Sunday it sold 47,760 vehicles in April, up 14.7% from a year earlier.
Domestic sales totaled 811 vehicles, while exports reached 46,949. The company said April marked the third time this year it posted monthly sales above 40,000 vehicles, following January and March.
Exports of the Chevrolet Trax Crossover, including derivative models, rose 12.7% from a year earlier to 31,239 units. Exports of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, including derivative models, increased 24.7% to 15,710 units.
GM Korea said cumulative sales of the two models have topped 2 million since launch, helping position the operation as a global hub for small SUVs under the Chevrolet brand.
The company said it handles the full process for the models — planning, design, engineering and production. Last year, the two models sold a combined 422,792 units in the U.S., accounting for about 43% of the small-SUV segment, it said.
Gustavo Colossi, vice president of sales, service and marketing at GM Korea, said the Trax Crossover and Trailblazer are “continuing meaningful results in global markets,” citing their competitiveness and the 2 million cumulative-sales milestone. He said the company will keep working to provide a satisfactory service experience as customers at home and abroad show trust in GM’s products and brand.
GM Korea said it will offer various financing programs and provide cash and fuel-cost support in May for customers who buy the Trax Crossover, Trailblazer or the American premium pickup truck Sierra.
Chevrolet also said it will run a “Chevrolet Homecoming Festival” for Family Month. Customers who own older Chevrolet models — Spark, Matiz, Damas or Labo — and buy a Trax Crossover or Trailblazer will receive 1 million won in cash support. The company will also provide 300,000 won in cash to customers with a minor or a family member age 65 or older, to small-car owners, and to customers who have owned an aging diesel vehicle for at least five years.
