Global sales of Cadillac vehicles totaled 25,785 units in June 2016, an increase of 13.8 percent year-over-year.
On a model basis, sales of the Cadillac Escalade, XTS, and the now-discontinued ELR increased year-over-year, while those of the ATS, CTS, and the discontinued SRX decreased. The brand’s two all-new products — the 2017 Cadillac XT5 midsize crossover and 2016 Cadillac CT6 full-size prestige sedan — drove the sales even further.
Globally, 6,719 units of the XT5 were sold during its third month on the U.S. market and second month in most international markets. Additionally, 1,516 units of the CT6 were delivered — the vehicle’s highest sales since its launch earlier this year as a result of an acceleration in its production rate. Escalade sales jumped over 15 percent.

Very good overall results. I am eager to see where the XT5 numbers are by the end of the year when full production and inventory levels are reached.
Even the much beleaguered sedans (excluding CT6) had a decent month.
