General Motors (GM) gained in afternoon trading on Monday after reporting Q4 and full-year sales tallies. Notably, all four GM brands recorded a sales increase in 2025 for the second consecutive year. “Cadillac sales were the best in a decade. Chevrolet’s lineup of SUVs had their best sales ever. And Buick was one of the industry’s fastest-growing mainstream brand,” highlighted the Detroit automaker.
For Q4, General Motors (GM) reported that total sales declined 7% to 703,001 vehicles, which was noted to be in line with the overall industry. Silverado sales were up 6% during the quarter to 156,645 vehicles, while Buick Enclave sales rose 54% to 11,130 vehicles. EV sales fell 43% year-over-year during the quarter to 25,219. The decline was anticipated after a record EV tally for Q3, which reflected the surge in “pull ahead” purchases before the expiration of the federal tax credit.
