GM posts 5.5% increase in U.S. sales in 2025, while Jeep ends annual declines

DETROIT — General engines on Monday reported a 5.5% increase in annual U.S. sales in 2025, despite a 6.9% decline during the fourth quarter.

The Detroit automaker’s results were boosted last year by additional sales of electric vehicles as well as gains in large SUVs and entry-level vehicles such as the Buick Envista.

GM’s 2025 sales are expected to be among the strongest in the U.S. auto industry, which Cox Automotive expects to have increased about 2% to 16.3 million units from 2024.

GM is among a handful of automakers to report U.S. sales gains for 2025. Others include Toyota enginesales are up 8%; Hyundai and Kia each achieve a third consecutive year of record sales with respective increases of 8.4% and 7%; And Honda engine up 0.5%.

Parent of Chrysler Stellantis was down 3.3% due to the execution of an American recovery plan. Notably, Stellantis’ Jeep brand – which grew less than 1% last year – achieved its first annual U.S. sales increase since 2018.

“With back-to-back quarterly sales increases and market share growth, it is clear that we are taking the right steps to restart our U.S. business,” Jeff Kommor, head of Stellantis U.S. retail sales, said in a statement. “There is still work to do, but we have made progress this year with a diversified range of engines.”

GM, meanwhile, retained its position as the largest vehicle seller in the United States. It’s held that title for decades, except Toyota outperformed the U.S. automaker for a year amid major supply chain disruptions in 2021.

GM sold more than 2.85 million vehicles last year in the United States, including about 703,000 in the fourth quarter. This compares to Toyota with 2.52 million U.S. sales in 2025.

“Demand for our brands and products is strong at all price points, and we are well positioned to continue this momentum in the year ahead,” Duncan Aldred, GM president of North America, said in a statement.

In addition to the U.S. sales crown, GM said it increased its U.S. market share by half a percentage point, to 17 percent, and increased its electric vehicle sales by 48 percent, to become the nation’s second-largest seller of all-electric vehicles behind Tesla.
