Cadillac China sales saw another decline during the fourth quarter of 2021, extending the marque’s negative sales performance as a result of lower supply of units caused by the ongoing semiconductor shortage. As such, the decline during Q4 2021 represents the second consecutive quarterly decline for Cadillac in China, following the nine percent drop in Q3 2021. It’s worth noting that the declines during Q4 and Q3 2021 follow a full year of healthy growth for the luxury marque in the Chinese market.
Although Cadillac does not share model-specific figures for the Chinese market, the general data shared by Cadillac’s parent company shows that two models were most affected by the global shortage of components: the Cadillac XT5 and XT4 crossovers. The two models are typically Cadillac’s best-sellers in China.
Meanwhile, the CT5 sedan managed to continue its strong commercial performance in the Chinese market, being the brand’s best-selling model during both the fourth quarter and all of 2021, marking the first time the sedan has led the marque’s sales during a complete calendar year.
