With 17.6% of the U.S. market in January 2015, General Motors increased its market share from January 2014's 16.9% but slid back from December's 18.2%.
GM car sales slid 7% to account for just 32% of the automaker's January volume. Light trucks at General Motors – including a pickup range that grew its sales by 42% – jumped 36%.
The big loser? That'd be the Koreans. Hyundai and Kia combined to own 8% of the U.S. market in January 2014, a figure which fell to 7.2% in January 2015. New vehicle sales rose 14% in America last month, year-over-year. Hyundai volume rose to a record-setting January level of 82,804 sales, but the 1% gain severely trailed the industry. Kia sales were up a little more than 3%, although the brand's car division slid 3% on falling Optima and Cadenza volume.
