The QX80 saw its segment share drop to six percentage points, down a whopping 15 percentage points. Finally, the LX held a mere three percent segment share, down four percentage points.
The full-size luxury SUV segment contracted 14 percent to 17,444 units in Q1 2022, meaning that Escalade sales outperformed the segment average.
Below, we’ve included sales figures of full-size luxury crossovers for the sake of reference. Though they differ mechanically from the aforementioned body-on-frame SUVs by having a unibody construction, they are typically cross-shopped and considered as alternatives to the full-size luxury SUVs. Currently, the only full-size luxury crossovers are the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class and the new BMW X7, though Audi is rumored to be working on a future Q9.

The GM Authority Take
The Cadillac Escalade sold more units than all of its rivals combined during Q1 2022 thanks to very strong demand for the all-new Escalade, which launched for the 2021 model year. It’s also healthy that GM is allocating all the supplies it can, including those pesky microchips, to ensure Escalade production is uninterrupted and availability is adequate.
It’s no surprise to see rivals try and take the Escalade’s crown with competing offerings in this highly lucrative space. Last fall, Land Rover introduced the redesigned 2022 Range Rover as a rival to the fifth-generation Escalade. Other noteworthy rivals include the all-new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer from FCA Stellantis and the revamped 2022 LX from Lexus. In fact, the Grand Wagoneer’s quick ascendance to the second-best-selling spot in the segment is quite impressive.
2022 Range Rover
And while rivals continue their best-laid attempts to conquest Escalade customers, Cadillac just answers in kind, and then some – this time with the upcoming 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V. The luxury automaker’s new model sits at the intersection of opulence and ultra-high-performance, bringing a range-topping supercharged powerhouse to the luxury SUV. It sounds beastly and will finally debut on May 11th, 2022.
2023 Cadillac Escalade-V
The upcoming Escalade-V will be powered by GM’s supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 engine used in the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, among other high-performance GM models like the Camaro ZL1, third-generation Cadillac CTS-V, and C7 Corvette Z06.
During a recent media presentation attended by GM Authority, Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey said he has had the opportunity to drive the 2023 Cadillac Escalade-V “through various phases of its development,” an experience that he classifies as “absolutely stunning.”
Looks like Escalade sales are about to fly by rivals in a blur.

Comments
With Super Cruise being standard, it is a no brainer and enhances the appeal of the Escalade even further.
Lincoln have a lot of work cut out for them and they will be struggling getting to second place for BOF vehicles as concerned. The Grand Wagoneer sales volume just got started and will be interesting to see if increase in volume will be significant or the same for second quarter. And no surprise for Infiniti being second to last place as it is the oldest in the competition and the LX in spite of it being brand new, no one’s interested in it. And the X7 and GLS are fighting within each other for sales volume since both are unibody offerings from Germany.
Good job Cadillac just don’t get too comfortable, as great as the Escalade is the interior from the second row back needs work.
Definitely supply constrained even at 60%.
As GM Kills brands, it has now almost finished off Cadillac. Amazing. Sure GM Killed Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, and others…
But to destroy their premium brand, Cadillac, is really an achievement. Once the envy of the world, Cadillac no longer produces a quality, premium, luxury sedan.
It will be over soon.
Holding out hope for the Celestiq.
Lincoln numbers are down due to chip allocation. Was it a good strategy ?
