Cadillac annual sales top 100,000 units in China for the first time

Cadillac has announced that its annual sales in China surpassed 100,000 vehicles for the first time ever, helping it become among the fastest-growing luxury car brands in Cadillac’s second-largest market.

Year-to-date, Cadillac has delivered over 100,000 retail sales across China, which is up 54 percent from the same period last year. “Reaching this milestone reminds us that Cadillac is setting a new standard for aspirational and premium appeal in China,” said Andreas Schaaf, vice president of Cadillac China. “Our new products, our dealers and Cadillac’s global transformation are catalysts for the unprecedented growth we are experiencing.”

This year, it has introduced two new mainstream luxury models – the CT6 prestige sedan and XT5 luxury crossover – which are being manufactured at Cadillac’s new state-of-the-art facility in Shanghai. They complement Cadillac’s other models, which include the XTS luxury sedan and ATS-L sport sedan.

The brand now has a presence in all key luxury segments, including mid- and large-sized luxury sedans, medium-range luxury sedans and midsize luxury SUVs. It is also exploring alternative propulsion with the upcoming introduction of the Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
