    Steve Carlisle, president, GM North America, mentioned the corporate is constructing some momentum, courtesy of its EVs.

    GM offered 582,401 automobiles within the United States through the second quarter of 2022 and the corporate elevated its gross sales and market share sequentially for the third consecutive quarter. GM’s second quarter gross sales had been down 15% yr over yr, however market share was up one level to an estimated 16.3%, in response to J.D. Power. 

    The automaker offered 1,095,247 automobiles, a drop of 17.7 from the primary half of 2021, however sufficient to beat out Toyota, the gross sales chief in 2021.

    “GM’s sales and market share have grown each of the last three quarters, even with lingering supply chain disruptions,” mentioned Steve Carlisle, GM govt vice chairman and president, North America. 

    “Our long-term momentum will continue to build thanks to the launches of groundbreaking new EVs like the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, and the tremendous customer response to the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.”

    Toyota suffered by means of “inventory challenges” through the quarter — the corporate has lower than a 5-day provide of recent automobiles available.

    Toyota reported gross sales dropped in contrast with June 2021 totals. This June gross sales of electrified automobiles totaled 39,965, representing 23.5% of whole month-to-month gross sales. For the primary half of 2022, TMNA reported U.S. gross sales of 1,045,697 automobiles, down 19.1% on a quantity foundation and down 19.6% on a DSR foundation.

    Hyundai officers mentioned sellers are promoting each automobile they’ll get their arms on, together with the brand new Ioniq 5.

    “Hyundai’s second quarter retail sales continue to highlight a terrific product mix, and consumer demand for our SUV lineup remains very strong,” mentioned Randy Parker, senior vice chairman, nationwide gross sales, Hyundai Motor America. “Our dealers are selling everything they get, and we are continuing our efforts on growing market share.”

    Kia gross sales dropped 4.9% in June and had been down 12% for the second quarter.

    Meanwhile, Edmunds studies 12.7% of shoppers who financed a brand new automobile buy in June 2022 dedicated to a month-to-month cost of $1,000 or extra — the very best degree that Edmunds has on file — in comparison with 7.3% in June 2021, 4.6% in June 2019 and a pair of.1% in June 2010.

    “Low interest rates used to be one of few reprieves for car shoppers amid elevated prices and supply shortages. But the Fed rate hikes this year are making finance incentives far costlier for automakers, and consumers are starting to feel the pinch,” mentioned Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds’ govt director of insights.

    “Although there appears to be a steady stream of affluent consumers willing to commit to car payments that look more like mortgage payments, for most consumers the new car market is growing increasingly out of reach.”
