The luxury D-sedan segment saw cumulative sales expand 69 percent to 79,025 units during the second quarter of 2021.
The Cadillac Society Take
Given its trailing position in the segment rankings and slip in market share, the CT5’s sales performance was disappointing, especially after the 46 percent increase during the first quarter of 2021. The sub-par performance during Q2 2021 is directly the result of sub-par inventory of the CT5 as a result of the ongoing microchip shortage. Cadillac is currently prioritizing chips for its Escalade full-size luxury SUV range, resulting in a pause in production of the CT5, among other models.
We expect Cadillac CT5 sales to start growing in the coming quarters as both inventory and consumer awareness of the model improve, enabling the new Caddy to obtain a more favorable position in the segment. Aiding that will be the all-new CT5-V Blackwing. The ultra-high-performance sedan was revealed in February and the very first units have already begun arriving at dealers.
However, the path forward won’t be easy, as several rivals will soon be completely overhauled, including the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which has traditionally presented a strong opponent for the CT5 as well as its segment predecessor – the ATS range.

No advertising, no inventory, no leadership, over-priced and a “mid-sized” (LOL!!!) sedan that will barely hold 4 adults along with riding like a log wagon and not a Cadillac? Do we really need to wonder why sales are dropping?
I’ll keep my 2020 CT6 and drive it until the wheels fall off.

Oh and least we forget…the Blackwing is basically a $100K car and you can’t get Super Cruise on it! Wat a freaking joke! My loaded CT6 Premium Luxury stickered at $78K and it has all options that were available. All Wheel Drive & All Wheel Steer, Super Cruise, Bose Panaray w/34 speakers, screens for the rear seat passengers to watch TV/movies, full sun roof over front and rear seats, heated and cooled seats and way too much more to list. Don’t forget all-season tires that I don’t have to change in the winter.
