General Motors’ China deliveries increased 6.3 percent from a year earlier to 287,581 vehicles in July on higher demand for Baojun, Cadillac and Chevrolet models.

Sales at Baojun, an entry-level brand, surged 61 percent year on year to 71,433 vehicles last month on strong volumes generated by the 510 compact crossover and 310 subcompact crossover.

Cadillac’s sales maintained double-digit growth for the 17th consecutive month, surging 37 percent to 12,006 vehicles in July on demand for the XT5 crossover and two sedans – the CT6 and the elongated ATS.

Chevrolet deliveries jumped 24 percent to 37,501 vehicles, reflecting strong sales of the flagship Malibu sedan.

Buick sales rose 4.4 percent to 93,347 vehicles, led by the GL8 multi-purpose vehicle and two sedans -- the LaCrosse and the Excelle GT.

But Wuling, China’s largest microvan brand, remains in a sales slump as Chinese consumers migrate from microvans to bigger vehicles. In July, Wuling deliveries dropped 25 percent to 73,294 vehicles.

Because of weak sales earlier this year, GM’s China sales through July edged down 1.3 percent from a year earlier to 2.05 million vehicles.
