Global Cadillac Sales Up 7.2 Percent To 27,636 Units In June 2017

Global sales of new Cadillac vehicles totaled 27,636 units in June 2017, an increase of 7.2 percent year-over-year. Despite being an increase, the results do put an end to the brand’s 12 consecutive months of double-digit percentage growth.

“Cadillac continues to grow globally, despite the shift away from sedans in the U.S. market,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen.  “The success of the XT5 and the increase in sales of the CT6 shows that we are attracting unique buyers to the brand, building momentum for our incredible product offensive beginning next year.”

In the first six months of 2017, global Cadillac sales have increased 27.1 percent to 164,174 units.

June 2017 Cadillac Sales By Model

Cadillac did not provide sales on a per-model basis in June, a practice that first started at the end of 2016. It did, however, state that the Cadillac XT5 accounted for 10,900 sales in June, being its best-seller globally.

In addition, sales of the Cadillac CT6 grew 40.4 percent during the month, while Cadillac Escalade sales rose 11.1 percent.

June 2017 Cadillac Sales By Market

Cadillac sales decreased in the United States and in Canada, while increasing in China and various global markets in June 2017:

  • Cadillac sales in the United States decreased 11.8 percent to 12,580 units:
    • Retail sales decreased 12.1 percent to 11,854 units

Unlike in the first four months of 2017, Cadillac did not provide individual sales figures for Mexico, Europe and South Korea or the Middle East; instead, it has bundled sales from those markets in the single ROW (Rest of World) line item for June.

  1. Interesting that this has received no comments yet, while the article looking at the trees (US sales) instead of the forest (global) is well commented on.

    I’m glad that GM has been able to earn a profit in China. That means GM is bringing in money to the US from China instead of the normal direction.
