GM Korea sold 13,540 vehicles in the domestic market, making June its fourth consecutive month of domestic sales of over 13,000 vehicles. It was an increase of 4.1 percent from the previous month, the result of continued solid market demand for the Chevrolet Spark mini-car, Cruze compact sedan and Orlando Active Life Vehicle.

In the first six months of 2012, GM Korea’s domestic sales increased 3.5 percent on an annual basis to 71,506 vehicles from 69,071 vehicles in the first six months of 2011.
