SHANGHAI – General Motors and its joint ventures delivered more than 771,400 vehicles in China in the third quarter, an increase of 12% on a year-over-year basis.
GM brands maintained robust growth momentum as the vehicle market continued to recover from the COVID-19 impact. GM’s luxury vehicles, midsize/large SUVs and MPVs, led by the Cadillac XT5 and the Buick Envision and GL8 families, posted a strong performance in particular, spearheading the overall recovery.
Buick deliveries in the third quarter grew 26% from a year earlier to over 250,000 units.

In addition, the Envision family had deliveries of over 34,000 units, as sales surged 48%. The introduction of the all-new Envision S and Envision S Avenir in July strengthened the brand’s SUV lineup in China.
Cadillac deliveries topped 65,000 units, an increase of 28% from a year earlier. Its SUV portfolio encompassing the XT4, XT5 and XT6 posted steady growth, with collective sales of more than 40,000 units.
