The Cadillac Society Take

The decline in Cadillac XT4 sales volume comes at a time when the model was just beginning to find its footing in the highly-competitive luxury crossover C-segment, gradually increasing sales volume throughout 2019. The fact that the XT4 sales fell faster than the segment average, result in a drop in segment share from 10 to 8 percent, shows that the vehicle is being outpaced by the competition.
