"GM Retains US Sales Lead in 2023 Amidst Strikes and EV Hurdles as Pickups Dominate and Hyundai-Kia Surges"

General Motors (GM) retained its position as the top-selling automaker in the United States for 2023, with a 14% increase in sales despite a United Auto Workers (UAW) strike and production issues with its electric vehicles (EVs). GM sold 2.6 million vehicles, outpacing Toyota, which sold 2.3 million. The Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV were GM's best-selling EVs, while new SUVs and pickups also drove sales. The UAW strike affected production, but GM still managed to increase its market share and is planning to launch new EV models and update its gasoline-powered lineup in 2024.
