General Motors delivered 418,225 vehicles in China last month, good for a 12.5% year-over-year growth from 2016 and a new November sales record. But for Wuling, all of GM’s brands experienced growth in November; Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Baojun all posted double-digit growth, with the latter posting its best sales month ever. GM’s successes were driven by the continued momentum of its SUVs, which saw sales rise 73% year-over-year.
