The GM Authority Take

The XT5 continues to reap the benefits of current market trends in which consumers favor crossovers at the expense of sedans. The vehicle’s May sales performance enabled it to take second place in terms of cumulative sales volume in the midsize luxury front-drive crossover space, directly behind the Lexus RX, which accounted for 8,849 deliveries during the same time period.

Even so, Cadillac remains absent from the sport-luxury midsize crossover space occupied by market stalwarts like the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class (née ML-Class), Jaguar F-Pace, and Porsche Cayenne.
