Competitive Sales Comparison
Third-quarter Cadillac XT6 sales volume puts the crossover in seventh place out of eight in its competitive set in terms of cumulative sales volume, behind the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class in first, BMW X5/X6 in second (for a combined 12,895 deliveries), Volvo XC90 in third, Infiniti QX60 in fourth, Audi Q7 in fifth, and Lexus GX in sixth. The Cadillac XT6 outsold the Lincoln Aviator during the quarter, though both the XT6 and Aviator saw relatively limited availability during the timeframe.
We should also note that the Lexus RX accounted for 28,109 units, with some of those units being the RX-L that competes in the E-Segment luxury SUV space. However, Lexus does not break out sales of the regular, two-row RX from the three-row RX-L model, so we have not included it in our table.

The Cadillac Society Take
Cadillac XT6 sales in Q3 2019 were respectable. Inventories at the retail (dealer) level were still building up during the timeframe, meaning that availability was rather low.
In total, Cadillac delivered 67 percent more crossovers in the third quarter of 2019 than it did during the same timeframe last year, representing the highest growth in the luxury CUV space in the U.S. The increase is directly a result of the Cadillac XT6 and XT4, both of which are new to the lineup.
We expect Cadillac XT6 sales to increase in the coming quarters as inventory builds at the dealer level, though the circumstance could take longer than planned as a result of the recent UAW strike that saw no Cadillac XT6 production for roughly 45 days.

When will the xt5 electric be available and will it have a sport trim?

Low sales means that there are still many idiotic buyers that continue to believe that imports are better. They are not! But both Cadillac and Lincoln will continue to fight an uphill battle unless some restrictions or import tariff are used against imports just as what those foreign brand do in their nation of origin against U.S. brands.

I think it may be a bit early to call sales “low”. Inventory has yet to build. Remember the XT6 is the first entry Cadillac has had in it’s particular market segment.
As for the Aviator, it is well documented that Ford has been unable to build saleable units and that their Flat Rock plant is re-building bunches of them before shipping to dealers. Not a good “visual”, but Americans have short memories and it should recover. I think Aviator might be Lincolns best seller.

@Raymond Ramirez Dude I love how supportive you are of this company. I believe that Cadillac and Lincoln has the potential.
