The luxury C-crossover segment expanded nearly 19 percent to 82,254 units in Q3 2020, meaning that the 29 percent drop in XT4 sales during the quarter was much steeper than the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
The decline in Cadillac XT4 sales volume comes at a time when the model was just beginning to find its footing in the highly-competitive segment, gradually increasing sales volume during each quarter in 2019. The fact that the XT4’s segment share fell from 13 to 8 percent shows that it’s being outpaced by the competition.
We attribute the decline in Cadillac XT4 sales during the third quarter to the following events:
- Sub-optimal supply: COVID depleted the supply of the XT4 at dealers.
- Lower demand: stay-at-home orders stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, along with negative impacts to the economy, resulted in lower demand during the third quarter.
That said, Cadillac XT4 sales fell much faster than the segment average. This is most likely the result of decreased supply levels, which were substantially lower than that of the competition during the quarter stemming from ongoing supply-level issues caused by the UAW strike in the fourth quarter of 2019. The labor walkout resulted in no units of the XT4 being built at the GM Fairfax plant for at least 40 days, significantly depleting inventories at the dealer level. Then, just as supply began to recover, COVID-19 resulted in about 60 days of idled production.
We expect Cadillac XT4 sales to rebound in subsequent quarters as supply at the retail level improves.
