GM returns to UK with Cadillac, GMC, Chevrolet SUVs and pickups

General Motors has officially returned to the UK with the launch of the GM Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) import business.

Buyers can order models such as the Chevrolet Silverado direct from GM with warranty, finance, UK homologation and nationwide servicing

The new UK operation means buyers can order popular models such as the Cadillac Escalade‑V, GMC Yukon Denali and Chevrolet Silverado direct from the manufacturer with full UK homologation and comprehensive warranty, financing, aftersales and service support.

Orders are already open via the GM Specialty Vehicles website and luxury car dealer Clive Sutton is working on a retailer network rollout.

Jean-Pierre Diernaz, managing director GM Europe: “We’re excited to be working with Clive Sutton to bring to UK customers our iconic North America vehicles. We’ve selected incredible vehicles from our global brands – Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet – through a dedicated GM facility in North West London and the nationwide network of retailers that is set to follow.”

The initial phase of the UK launch centres on GM’s most in‑demand large SUVs. The core GM Specialty Vehicles line-up includes the Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade-V along with the GMC Yukon Denali, Sierra 1500 Denali and Sierra 1500 AT4. The Chevrolet range spans the Tahoe, Suburban and Silverado.

Vehicles will be supplied directly by GM and delivered either via Clive Sutton’s new London premises, or through the wider retailer network as it is established.

Each of the UK-market models includes a three‑year, unlimited‑mileage warranty with two further years’ cover as an optional extra.

Clive Sutton said: “This is an exciting moment for UK customers who have long admired GM’s premium and performance lineup. For the first time, buyers in the UK can view vehicles such as luxurious Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon Denali SUVs, or US favourite pickup trucks including the popular Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra – with warranty, finance, UK homologation and nationwide servicing. We are delighted to be the first GM Specialty Vehicles franchise in the UK and to lead development of the nationwide network.”

First deliveries start this spring.
