GM Korea Co., the South Korean unit of U.S. automaker General Motors Co., said Friday that sales of its turbo engined vehicles have leaped this year, helping drive up its domestic sales.
The carmaker, which sells cars under the Chevrolet badge, said sales of its turbo equipped Trax small crossover, Cruze compact and Aveo sub-compact models surged 88.5 percent in the first 10 months of this year compared to 2013. Combined sales of these vehicles hit 12,157 units, accounting for 9.8 percent of all GM Korea-made cars sold in the country so far in 2014.
