The luxury D-crossover segment expanded about two percent for 111,509 deliveries during Q1 2025, meaning that XT5 sales were in line with the segment average.
The GM Authority Take
Cadillac XT5 sales had been in the red for over a year as competitors continued to outperform with newer, fresher, and more attractive products. And despite the slight uptick in sales during Q1, the XT5 remains well behind the segment-leading Lexus RX, which was Cadillac’s primary target when the XT5 launched. Even the second place Audi Q5, which was a whopping 11K units behind the RX, moved more than twice as many units.
While GM Authority initially learned that the Cadillac XT5 would be dropped after the 2025 model year, The General has since decided to keep the two-row crossover in production until the end of the 2026 calendar year. Production of the 2025 Cadillac XT5 will end on November 26th, before the 2026 model arrives largely unchanged from the current one. We don’t expect it to set the segment on fire in terms of sales volume.

Comments
Sales are down because the xt5 hasn’t really changed since it was introduced in 2017!This is also because the redone xt5 is only available in China which I don’t understand. I love my 17 xt5 luxury model and wanted to update to the new model and as always,ceo Mary made another rediculous decision to not have it sold in America.Very poor decision making!!🤬
Here is idea! Build the restyled China made XT5 in the US plant. Sales will quickly move up from 9th place. It has not changed inside or outside since it was first produced. And now GM says they will drop this ICE vehicle next year and replace it with an EV that very, very few customers will buy. Please GM build something that consumers, not what you want!
And before anyone disputes you, it can very well be built in the US. It is on the VSS-S platform shared with the Traverse/Enclave/Acadia triplets. But as usual, GM prefers to give away their customers to Lincoln and Lexus. Hey I know they aren’t complaining. Who wouldn’t want to cash in on someone else’s incompetence?
Best selling Cadillac we have had!! Lets forget about restyling it ever! Oh….then lets quit building it in an ICE vehicle that customers prefer! Very Sad!!
GM quit funding ICE platforms (other than full size trucks) in 2019. The whole lineup is zombies waiting to be swept away for EVs.
GM is so hypocritical. They are pushing EVs while knowing that the ICE Escalade is their biggest cash cow. And the one model they aren’t discontinuing for an EV (yes, I know there is an EV version but the ICE is NOT being discontinued).
I love that people here are suddenly pining over a half-baked FWD premium segment model simply because the replacement is a RWD luxury EV.
The XT5 was not competitive in the segment from the very beginning and slapping new sheetmetal on it (like in China) isn’t going to fix that no matter what internal combustion engine propels it.
But it has real engines that we want. I could care less about Cadillac (and any other brand) once they transition to the new them and end ICE.
Yes the turbo 4-cylinder base model that barely cracks 235 hpr is far faster than the 365 (single motor) equivalent because the “vroom vroom” noise.
Do you own one? Because I do. One with the Turbo 4. And despite it being a larger and heavier vehicle, it still has better pickup than my raspy Rav4 and it does it with better fuel efficiency and more refinement. The transmission also manages the engine power well and doesn’t let it feel stressed.
Oh and BTW, I still get 500 miles of range per fill up which only takes 5 mins. So while I do love the Lyriq as an EV, I still don’t see the value in spending nearly $2k more for a base barebones Lyriq with less capability over my near Platinum trim XT5.
Its a great car and my 2022 has been so for the past three years even in its 2.0 Turbo form. Phenomenal family vehicle and road trip companion. But she is long in the tooth and starting to show her age design-wise. A newer redesigned XT5 like the one China gets would have been a great replacement and wouldn’t have landed it so far behind the competition but unfortunately, we aren’t China so we don’t get that special treatment privilege.
Well aside from us disappointed GM enthusiasts Lincoln and Lexus are loving this half-brained decision from GM.
That’s pretty bad when Cadillac people deflect down to Lincoln. That’s like a few “steps” down.
Just think what the sells would have been if the Redesigned XT5 with the v6 engine was assembled and available in the USA .. We would have one !! Sorry Mary you and your decision makers ,, we will say good buy ..
