Chevrolet achieves 40 per cent growth in May; sells 2177 units of the Enjoy MPV

Chevrolet has sold 8500 units in May as compared to 6079 units in the corresponding period last year registering a growth of 40 per cent. The American automaker has already sold 2177 units of the Enjoy MPV in the month of May. The MPV was launched in the Indian market for Rs 5.49 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and is being offered in eight different variants and with one petrol and diesel engine.

Chevrolet also sold 2851 units of Sail twins, 1506 units of Chevrolet Beat and 1475 units of Chevrolet Tavera. Commenting on the performance, P Balendran, vice president, General Motors India, said, "We were able to register the 40 per cent growth only because of the good response to our newly launched vehicles - Chevrolet SAIL and Chevrolet Enjoy. The economic activities have almost come to a standstill and the market remains completely depressed due to negative sentiments and other structural bottlenecks,” he said.  

“There is no show-room traffic and the enquiry levels have bottomed out despite introducing innovative marketing schemes. With no indication of a visible growth signal in the offing, we do not expect the market to pick up even in the coming months. Probably a good monsoon can bring in some cheers to the market,” he added.
