About GMC
GMC sells trucks and SUVs that are largely the same vehicles as Chevrolet's, positioned slightly upmarket and sold through separate dealers. Running two near-identical truck brands is a survival of the dealer structure GM built a century ago. Its Denali trim, introduced in 1999, now accounts for a large share of the brand's sales and carries prices that overlap with Cadillac.

EVs like the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Cadillac LYRIQ, Cadillac ESCALADE IQ, and the GMC Sierra EV have brought new customers to our brands and helped increase our EV market share.
Due to our broad and diversified portfolio of both ICE and electric vehicles, we believe we are well positioned to respond to changes in demand given our strong market position with ICE vehicles in the U.S. and the success of our Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC EVs with customers.
