SHANGHAI – General Motors’ joint ventures delivered 689,531 vehicles in China in the third quarter. Sales declined in the midst of the continued soft vehicle market.
GM is in the process of introducing a record of about 20 new and refreshed models in China this year with an expanded and improved product mix. GM has increased its focus on midsize/large SUVs and luxury vehicles to keep up with strong demand in these segments by launching seven new models in the past three months and unveiling three models that are planned for launch in the fourth quarter.
The company is also making steady progress toward its vision of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion in China.
Baojun’s all-electric siblings, the E100 and E200, went on sale nationwide in the third quarter after becoming popular choices in the cities where they were previously sold. The VELITE 6, the first all-electric model from Buick, will soon launch variants with an increased electric driving range of 410 km.
As a key initiative for developing personal mobility solutions in China for China, GM announced in July a strategic partnership with the China Intelligent Connected Vehicle National Level Innovation Center, with the aim of helping build a dynamic intelligent connected vehicle ecosystem in China and making an industry-wide impact.
GM’s all-new digital vehicle platform – the enabler of its advanced technologies, including electrification, connectivity and autonomous driving – will debut soon in China on the Cadillac CT5 and will gradually be rolled out across GM’s brands.
