$60,000 Cadillac Lyriq Drives GM's Q2 EV Sales After Bolt Is Discontinued
$60,000 Cadillac Lyriq Drives GM's Q2 EV Sales After Bolt Is Discontinued
Detroit-based automaker General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM) said on Tuesday that the company has sold nearly 22,000 EVs in the U.S. in the second quarter, thanks to the rising popularity of its Cadillac Lyriq SUV.
底特律车厂，通用汽车公司（NYSE：GM）表示，由于其凯迪拉克Lyriq SUV极受欢迎，该公司在第二季度已在美国售出近22,000辆新能源车。
What Happened: GM sold 21,930 EVs in the second quarter, marking a jump of over 40% from the corresponding quarter of last year.
发生了什么：通用汽车公司在第二季度售出了21,930辆新能源汽车，比去年同期增长了超过40%。
The sales were mostly buoyed by the Cadillac Lyriq SUV starting at nearly $60,000, of which the company sold nearly 7,300 units, making up for the year-on-year drop in sales of the Chevrolet Bolt which the company discontinued in late 2023. GM sold only 1,374 units of the Bolt in the second quarter, down from the 13,959 sold in the second quarter of 2023.
这些销售主要得益于起售价近60,000美元的凯迪拉克Lyriq SUV车型。该公司共售出近7,300辆Lyriq SUV车型，弥补了雪佛兰Bolt车型销量同比下降的缺口。该车型已于2023年底停产。通用汽车公司在第二季度仅售出1,374辆Bolt车型，而去年同期则售出了13,959辆。
The newly introduced Equinox EV sold over 1000 units, marking a good start for the vehicle which went on sale in late May.
新推出的Equinox EV上市后在五月底售出了超过1000辆，是一个良好的开端。
| VEHICLE NAME | Q2 SALES IN U.S. |
| Chevrolet Bolt | 1,374 |
| Cadillac Lyriq | 7,294 |
| GMC Hummer EV | 2,929 |
| Chevrolet Silverado EV | 2,196 |
| Chevrolet Blazer EV | 6,634 |
| Chevrolet Equinox EV | 1,013 |
| Brightdrop | 490 |
| TOTAL | 21,930 |
| 车型名称 | 美国第二季度销量 |
| 雪佛兰Bolt | 1,374 |
| 凯迪拉克Lyriq | 7,294 |
| GMC Hummer EV | 2,929 |
| 雪佛兰Silverado EV | 2,196 |
| 雪佛兰Blazer EV | 6,634 |
| 雪佛兰Equinox EV | 1,013 |
| Brightdrop | 490 |
| TOTAL | 21,930 |
Despite the rise in sales, electric vehicles still contribute to merely 3.15% of the company's total vehicle sales in the country which touched 696,086 units in the quarter.
尽管销售增长，但新能源汽车的销量仍仅占该公司全美国696,086辆车的总销量的3.15%。
Comparing With The Bigshot: EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) on Tuesday also reported vehicle delivery numbers for the second quarter. The company delivered 443,956 vehicles in the second quarter globally, marking a 4.8% drop from last year but still beating the consensus estimate. Tesla does not segment its vehicle deliveries by geography.
与行业翘楚相比：新能源汽车巨头特斯拉公司（纳斯达克：TSLA）也在本周二公布了第二季度车辆交付数据。该公司在第二季度全球范围内交付了443,956辆车，虽比去年同期下降了4.8%，但仍超过了市场预期。特斯拉不会区分地理区域报告其车辆交付数据。
Tesla's mass-market offerings Model 3 and Modey Y account for a whopping majority of the total Q2 sales, with other, more premium offerings accounting for merely 5% of the overall sales. The company has three higher-end EV offerings- Model S, X, and Cybertruck. The higher-end version of the Cybertruck is priced at nearly $100,000.
特斯拉的大众市场车型Model 3和Model Y占据了第二季度总销量的绝大多数，而其他更高端的车型仅占总销量的5%。该公司还有三款更高端的电动车型：Model S、X和Cybertruck。Cybertruck的高端版本定价近10万美元。
Why It Matters: While Tesla is relying on its mass market, cheaper EV offerings to buoy its EV sales, GM is relying on its pricier Lyriq after discontinuing its cheap Bolt EV starting at $41,542.
尽管通用汽车公司在停产成本更低的Bolt EV（起售价为41,542美元）后，通过其更昂贵的Lyriq SUV推动其新能源汽车销售，而特斯拉则依靠其大众市场、价格更为便宜的电动汽车推动其销售。
The newly launched Equinox EV is among the cheaper of GM's current EV offerings starting at $41,900. While off to a good start, it is still too early to gauge customers' reaction to the vehicle.
新推出的Equinox EV被看作是通用汽车公司当前家族中价格更为便宜的电动车型之一，起售价近41,900美元。虽然该车型售出良好，但要评估消费者对此车型的反应仍然为时过早。
GM's other EV offerings cater to higher-end EV customers. The GMC Hummer EV and Silverado EV, for instance, start at nearly $100,000. Even the Chevrolet Blazer EV SUV starts at $48,800, higher than the Model Y which starts at $44,990.
通用汽车公司的其他电动车型面向更高端电动车客户。例如，GMC Hummer EV和Silverado EV的起售价均近10万美元。即使是Chevrolet Blazer EV SUV车型的起售价也高于Model Y的起售价，后者的起售价为44,990美元。
