GM's China Sales Rise By 5.2% In 2nd Quarter

General Motors Co said second-quarter deliveries with its joint ventures in China rose by 5.2% to more than 750,000 vehicles, helped by higher demand for its large and luxurious sport-utility vehicles and multipurpose cars.

The US automaker said sales of its Cadillac XT6 three-row large luxury SUV grew 42% to about 10,000 vehicles, while demand for its GL8 premium multi-purpose family vehicle increased by 40% to over 45,000 un, Ankit Ajmera reported for Reuters on July 11, 2021.

GM, which is working on its new "Ultium" battery technology, earlier this year unveiled an Ultium-based model for China, the Cadillac LYRIQ all-electric SUV.

This electric SUV will go on sale in the country early next year, the company said.
