GM Canada continues to lead in full-size SUV sales, with a total of 19,842 for Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV.

Chevrolet posted the brand’s best year ever for the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV, with 6,372 total sales.
“Our sales demonstrate the team’s success increasing vehicle availability to meet strong customer demand,” said Sandor Piszar, vice president, sales, service and marketing, GM Canada. “As a result of those efforts, as well as working closely with our GM Canada dealers, we grew (sic) retail sales by 31% this quarter, compared to Q4 2021 and more than doubled our commercial fleet sales for the calendar year. We expect to see that momentum accelerate in 2023 as we continue to rebuild dealer inventories and launch new EV and ICE vehicles across our portfolio.”
For EVs, Canadian shipments for the Cadillac LYRIQ have already begun, with the first customer deliveries expected in January. Also launching in 2023 are the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and GMC HUMMER SUV EV.
