General Motors said its April sales were the best for that month in five years, up 11.4% to 237,646 new vehicles.

Automakers posted their strongest April sales since 2007 as many reported double-digit gains with trucks and SUVs leading the surge.

Ford Motor Co. (F), speeding the rollout of the redesigned Lincoln MKZ sedan to revive its luxury line, said the model’s April U.S. sales set a monthly record that drove a gain of at least 10 percent for the brand.
