The GM group sold 5.48 million vehicles in 2025
- The GM group, once the world's leading carmaker for several decades, sold 5.48 million vehicles (passenger cars and light utility vehicles) worldwide in 2025, compared to 5.44 million in 2024, placing it fourth globally. If we exclude the Chinese brands Baojun and Wuling, which are counted by the American carmaker even though the Chinese company SAIC owns more than 50% of its capital, the figure drops to 4.1 million. In this case, GM ranks sixth globally, just ahead of its compatriot Ford.
- If we consider GM's 5.48 million vehicles sold in 2025, GM is neck and neck with Stellantis, which includes the former Chrysler group. GM has lost considerable influence since the period between 2010 and 2015, when it was within reach of 10 million sales per year. The carmaker has therefore lost almost half of its sales since then.
- The sale of its European subsidiaries to the PSA Group in 2017 was one reason for its downsizing, but not the only one. GM is also facing tough competition in China and even in the United States (its historical market), where the former leader has lost some of its luster.
- Let us remember that the GM group, having divested itself of its Oldsmobile brand in 2004, Saturn in 2009, Saab in 2009, Pontiac in 2010, Opel in 2017, Vauxhall in 2017, Holden in 2021, will only include the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC brands in 2026.
- Having left the European, Indian, and Russian markets, the GM group is now only present in three major regions: the USA, which represents more than half of its sales, China, and Latin America (South America + Mexico).
- The GM group, including the Chinese brands Baojun and Wuling (which are heavily electrified), sold 1.1 million BEVs in 2025 (20% of its total sales), almost exclusively in China, compared to 821,000 in 2024.
