Additionally, the Traverse saw sales increase by 41.4% to 372 units due to the recent popularity of SUVs and the growing demand for family cars during the peak outing season. The Damas sold 404 units, up 86.2%, ahead of the end of its sales this year.

Caesar Toledo, Vice President of Sales, Service, and Marketing at Korea GM, stated, "Despite the difficult situation caused by COVID-19 and semiconductor chip supply issues, Chevrolet's popular lineups such as the Spark, Trailblazer, and Traverse led domestic sales performance," adding, "We will continue to meet customer expectations with competitive marketing and the best service."
