Global sales of new Cadillac vehicles increased 13.5 percent to 32,084 units in August 2017. The results represent the 15th consecutive month of sales volume growth for the brand.
What’s more, Cadillac is on pace to surpass last year’s total of 308,718 vehicles sold, with year-to-date sales up 39,354 units to 221,566 units compared to August 2016.
“The transformation of Cadillac continues to accelerate with the globalization of our commercial footprint,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “The market share expansion in international markets and the escalation of transaction prices in the United States creates a strong foundation for sustainable growth.”
In the first eight months of 2017, global Cadillac sales increased 13.5 percent to 32,084 units.
Cadillac did not break out sales on a per-model basis in August.
It did, however, state that the XT5 luxury crossover continues to lead the brand in terms of sales volume with 89,111 units delivered worldwide in the first eight months of 2017. What’s more, August was the model’s second-best month in the U.S. with 7,236 units sold.
Global sales of the ATS model grew 8.9 percent for the month, driven by market share gains in the U.S. and Canada. The XTS rose 9.8 percent for the month.
