The GM Authority Take

With three consecutive months of year-over-year sales volume decreases, we are now even more convinced that the XTS is the latest victim in the shifting consumer buying dynamics, which currently favor crossovers and SUVs over sedans.

Another factor that could be playing into the XTS’ sales decline is the fact that the current model has aged quite a bit since its 2013 model year introduction, thereby potentially becoming less competitive when compared with direct rivals such as the Lincoln Continental. Luckily, the upcoming XTS refresh should address this potential concern.

  1. Note to GM. Its a CAR. The market wants CUVs right now.. Make XT7 outta the OLD Enclave (joking, but not really) and U will still see sales rise.. but don’t do like U did in 1996 and kill big cars. I will also note that the vehicle is 5 years old, U have a much better CT6 on the lots and… well that’s enough.
