Chevrolet Halts New Car Sales in China; GM Says Production Continues for Export

Multiple insiders from Chevrolet-authorized dealerships have confirmed that Chevrolet has suspended new vehicle sales in the Chinese market, though there is disagreement among sources regarding the exact timing of the halt. Some dealers indicated that the suspension began around the end of 2023, while others stated that sales had already stalled for over a year. On August 10, General Motors China responded by saying that Chevrolet vehicles would continue to be produced in China, with a focus on meeting export demand, and that after-sales services for existing Chinese customers would remain unaffected. Public records show that Chevrolet’s official Bilibili account was deactivated in the fall of 2023, its official Weibo account last posted in January 2023, and its official WeChat public and service accounts were last updated on February 12 and March 13, 2023, respectively.
