WORLDWIDE SALES MAY - CADILLAC - The US luxury brand continues to grow at a large rate.

  • Sales increased in all markets
  • XT5 sold 11,735 units worldwide
  • Continued record growth in China
Cadillac globally sold 29,738 units in May 2017, an increase of 33.8 percent – driven by strong year-over-year growth in all markets. May marked the 12th consecutive month of double-digit growth for Cadillac, and continued execution of the brand’s globalization strategy.
Cadillac sales have increased 32 percent globally year to date. In the midsize luxury crossover category – the industry’s strongest segment – the sustained popularity of the acclaimed XT5 has resulted in a 43.6 percent sales increase so far in 2017. 
The new luxury crossover was the brand’s best seller worldwide in May, totaling 11,735 units. In addition, sales of Cadillac’s ATS sport sedan and coupe models grew 45.2 percent for the month, while the XTS luxury sedan rose 20.7 percent.
Despite continued contraction in the US market for luxury sedans, which represent the mainstay of the Cadillac product portfolio at present, Cadillac achieved strong growth in the U.S. in May, with sales increasing 9.2 percent.  This was achieved due to the strong demand for the XT5 and iconic Escalade models.  The average transaction price for a new Cadillac in the U.S. in May continues to remain above $54,000, the second highest amongst major luxury automotive brands.    
In Asia, the brand grew over 65 percent, thanks to a robust performance in China, South Korea and Japan.
“Cadillac has earned double-digit monthly gains in global sales growth for an entire year,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen.  “Not only have we increased sales volume with the success of vehicles such as the XT5 luxury crossover, but we also continue to see consumers selecting a richer mix of models, keeping Cadillac’s average transaction prices amongst the highest for a mainstream luxury brand.”

WORLDWIDE SALES JANUARY - Cadillac see's sales continue to grow, and with two new models, growth will continue.

CT6 PRESTIGE SEDAN AND XT5 CROSSOVER MODELS LAUNCH IN EARLY-2016
Cadillac’s global expansion continued in January, with total sales of 20,625 marking a 2.2 percent increase following the 7.5 percent growth of 2015. Cadillac now enters a period of key product launches which are planned to further accelerate the sales and reinforce the rising stature of the brand.
Cadillac launches the all-new CT6 flagship sedan in the first quarter of 2016, followed closely by the first-ever XT5 luxury crossover which enters the luxury market’s strongest segment.

“Cadillac’s global expansion is building momentum, particularly now as we prepare to launch two all-new products,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “Newcomers to the brand continue to express surprise and delight at the dramatically elevated product substance in the new generation of Cadillac products, resulting in them selecting well-equipped, high-end models. This drives up transaction prices, a powerful proof-point underscoring the rapidly rising prestige of the Cadillac brand.”
In January, Cadillac sales in China rose 16.2 percent, following record high performance in 2015.  Sales in Canada and Mexico increased 44.6 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively, in January. The SRX Crossover tallied a 24.1 percent increase in January and the XTS rose 12.8 percent.  
According the J.D. Power, the average transaction price of a new Cadillac topped $55,000 in the U.S. in January, highest among full-line luxury brands.   Strong demand in the domestic market has driven inventories lower as the brand prepares to launch two new product lines in the first quarter of 2016. 
Production of the new CT6 in the historic Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant commences in February, establishing a new top of the Cadillac range. Concurrently, the first-ever XT5 is being prepared for production at a newly commissioned line in Spring Hill, Tenn. The arrival of this sophisticated new crossover entry enables Cadillac to be well positioned to exploit the strong global demand for midsize luxury crossover vehicles.
