GM Sales Performance: General Motors reported a 17% increase in U.S. sales for Q1 2025, delivering 693,363 vehicles, driven by strong demand for trucks and small SUVs, as well as a 94% rise in electric vehicle sales.
Impact of Tariffs: The upcoming 25% auto import tariff poses challenges for GM due to its reliance on imports, with only 52% of its vehicles sold in the U.S. being domestically assembled, raising concerns amid trade tensions.
