Teamsters would not even deliver vehicles from factories to dealers during the strike action against GM. GM's 40-day strike didn't help its sales. Only Toyota is ahead of GM in America with regards to the most important family vehicle. Nissan/Infinity sold 369,063 Rogues and QX50s.įord is way behind with sales of its Escape (which was in its last model year) at just 241K Escapes and Jeep sold 191K Cherokees. Surprised? GM is ahead in this vehicle segment without even counting its Buick and Cadillac crossovers. The total of these two crossovers is 447,518 units.Ĭompare that to Honda/Acura's total sales of CR-V and RDX sales of 447,044. In 2019, Chevy sold 346,048 Equinox crossovers and GMC 101,470 Terrain crossovers. And specifically crossovers the same size and shape as the current Equinox and Terrain. Sedans have not gone away yet, but they have yielded significant sales volume in the family segment to crossovers. This vehicle competes - and competes very strongly, in the most important family vehicle class in America. The Chevy Equinox is by far GM's second most important nameplate after Silverado. So well, they are actually in number two overall in America. The company's two main brands, Chevy and GMC are doing very well in the most important non-truck segment, the compact crossover class. Super Cruise was initially relegated only to Cadillac vehicles.Lost amid the reporting that GM's truck models have dropped a bit in sales during a prolonged strike year, is very good news for GM. The tech package has recently been enhanced to include lane-changing capabilities. In addition to an expected digestible price tag, the Bolt crossover will be the first Chevrolet vehicle to offer GM’s Super Cruise, a hands-free driving technology that combines a driver attention system with real-time mapping data that recognizes road patterns. That means the new Bolt crossover will be priced affordably to attract buyers in lieu of tax credits. The reason for the decrease is twofold: the cost of the battery will go down and GM no longer is eligible for EV tax credits, he said.

Alongside its refresh, the adjusted price could hover just north of $30,000, according to Abuelsamid. The current-generation Chevrolet Bolt also may see a price drop. Plenty of range to be a competitive player in the growing EV market, however. Toyota C-HR Hyundai Venueĭespite the shared hardware, the larger size of the upcomingĮV will likely drive the range down by 10 to 20 miles, Abuelsamid said. This silhouette is not unlike the current Bolt EV, which teeters between a hatchback and a compact wagon. Both are compact crossovers that offer buyers a higher-riding seating position and a hatch in the rear for expanded cargo space. the new Bolt crossover will likely resemble Hyundai’s Venue or Toyota’s C-HR, Abuelsamid said. The Menlo has more of an SUV aesthetic though Chevrolet describes it as a “sporty-looking sedan” with “lean muscularity” and a “blend of crossover and sport coupe styling.” The Menlo is Chevrolet’s first pure EV to debut in the region. GM also is keeping details about the new EV under wraps, but it will likely follow the general styling cues of the Chevrolet Menlo, an all-electric sedan revealed in China in February, according to Sam Abuelsamid, the principal analyst for research firm Guidehouse Insights. The Chevrolet Menlo could signal the general styling direction of the new Bolt crossover, albeit a little less SUV-like. GM hasn’t said when the two Bolt EVs will upgrade to the new system. It will carryover mechanically and the Bolt crossover will share the same components. In fact, it will be the basis for 19 upcoming EVs that will roll out across all GM brands.īut the 2022 Bolt is not included in that group. GM released information about a third-generation modular EV platform meant to serve multiple vehicles across several regions. It also sits on GM’s second-generation dedicated EV platform. Chevrolet says it can fully recharge in 10 hours when connected to a 240-volt charger or recoup 100 miles of range via DC fast charger. It uses a 66-kilowatt-hour battery pack, travels 259 miles on a single charge and costs just under $40,000.

The current Bolt is set for a cosmetic refresh that will debut next summer for the for the 2022 model year.
