America's luxury brand, Cadillac, continues to grow with new models and better technology

• SALES SURGE MORE THAN 20 PERCENT FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE MONTH

Cadillac sold 28,228 new vehicles globally in August, an increase of 23.7 percent. August marked the second consecutive month in which Cadillac global growth exceeded 20 percent, driven by the new XT5 crossover.

In August, Cadillac’s U.S. sales rose 3.9 percent, while sales in China soared 93.4 percent. Year to date, Cadillac global sales are up 4.5 percent.

The new XT5 sold 8,523 units in August, the most since its launch this past spring. Sales of Cadillac’s sporty ATS sedan and coupe models grew 18.4 percent globally. The XTS sedan registered a 52.9 percent increase.

In the U.S., the brand experienced volume growth while continuing to earn a premium position in the marketplace. Cadillac average transaction prices topped $53,000 per unit (according to J.D. Power Information Network), the highest among full-line luxury brands.

“We are seeing consistent progress on our mission to grow global volume while simultaneously building brand prestige,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “Product substance is the foundation of our disciplined approach to global expansion.”
