All other Cadillac product lines currently in production grew in September, including the Escalade (+28.4 percent), XTS luxury sedan (+29.7 percent), CTS (10.1 percent) and ATS (5.9 percent.) 

Cadillac sales rose in its four of largest markets, led by a 63.1 percent increase in China.  In the U.S., the brand experienced volume growth of 3.1% while continuing to earn a premium position in the marketplace. Cadillac average transaction prices topped $53,000 per unit (according to J.D.
