The luxury D-sedan segment saw cumulative sales contract 9 percent to 58,125 units during the third quarter of 2020.
The Cadillac CT5 was outsold by most rivals during the third quarter of 2020, a circumstance we attribute to the following two complications associated with the COVID-19 pandemic:
Despite these two issues, Q3 2020 sales were 1,426 units higher than the 2,575 sales in Q2 2020 and 1,001 units higher than the 3,000 sales in Q1 2020. As a result, CT5 sales are growing, and we expect sales to increase substantially in the coming quarters as both inventory and consumer awareness of the model improve, enabling the new Caddy to obtain a substantially more favorable position in the segment.
