Large Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet vehicles get official UK launch

Large SUVs and pick-up trucks from US brands Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet are being made officially available in the UK.

The vehicles, which are coming via the GM Specialty Vehicles operation, are being sold with full UK homologation.

Among the available models are the Cadillac Escalade (pictured), Escalade ESV and Escalade-V, the GMC Yukon Denali, Sierra 1500 Denali and Sierra 1500 AT4, and the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and Silverado. 

The vehicles include a three-year, unlimited‑mileage warranty, with two further years’ cover available as an option.

GMSV has appointed dealer Clive Sutton, a long-established importer of American vehicles, to operate a flagship London dealership, and to lead the development of a UK retailer network.

GMSV says this network will offer transparent pricing, GM‑approved servicing and finance options, with customers able to either commission a bespoke build or purchase from available stock. Dealers will also sell accessory packages, paint protection film, specialist finishes and paint treatments, and will be able to carry out tracker and security installations and offer part‑exchange services.

Vehicles are available to order now via the GMSV website and via Clive Sutton, with the first deliveries expected this spring.

Arrival of GM Specialty Vehicles “an exciting moment”

Jean-Pierre Diernaz, managing director of GM Europe, said: “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.”

Clive Sutton, founder and CEO of the eponymous dealer, 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.”
