U.S. Cadillac sales suffered a significant double-digit decline during the third quarter of the year, when the luxury marque as well as the automotive industry at large were severely affected by the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips. The circumstance caused major disruptions in the supply chain of most automakers, including Cadillac, while negatively impacting vehicle production. For Cadillac, the drop experienced during the third quarter interrupts three consecutive quarters of healthy growth, while being the first negative result that Cadillac has recorded in the U.S. market since Q3 2020.
Most Cadillac models suffered major declines on a year-over-year basis. The Cadillac XT4 was impacted the most, posting a contraction of 91 percent, or 5,778 units compared to the third quarter of last year. By contrast, the new Cadillac Escalade scored a massive triple-digit increase that strengthened its position as the marque’s best-selling model, while also remaining the undisputed leader in the full-size luxury SUV segment.

And it now represents the best value in its segment.
