Bolt and Bolt EUV sales increased by a staggering 5,402.8% compared to last year, with a healthy 19,700 units leaving showroom floors in the first quarter. This monumental increase shows that consumers have put their faith in the compact electric vehicle again following the battery fire debacle that nearly killed the EV’s reputation. Chevrolet worked tirelessly to restore the Bolt’s image, and it’s worked.
Elsewhere, Cadillac managed to sell 968 units of the Lyriq luxury crossover, which isn’t bad when you consider the $58,590 starting price.
As you’d expect, the best-selling vehicle from General Motors in Q1 was the Silverado lineup, with a total of 126,992 units reaching customers. The Sierra family comes in second, with a total of 67,198 delivered during the same period. Other strong sellers include the Equinox (52,902), Malibu (37,438), Traverse (31,533), and Trailblazer (27,951).
