Sales of Baojun rose 6 percent to 198,986 vehicles, and Wuling deliveries achieved a 3.1 percent year-on-year increase to 248,297 vehicles, according to data provided by the company.
In the second half of this year, GM is going to launch more models on the China market. The automaker said it will add 10 new and refreshed models in the second half of this year, two-thirds of the total for the entire year. The company will focus on segments with the strongest customer demand, including sport-utility vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles and luxury cars.
