The Cadillac Society Take

The 24 percent drop in Cadillac sales during the first quarter of 2022 represents the luxury marque’s third consecutive quarterly decline in the U.S. market, following the 32 percent drop during the third quarter of 2021 and 48 percent fall during the last quarter of 2021. However, the 28,216 units that Cadillac sold during Q1 2022 is a notable improvement over the 22,519 units sold during Q3 2021 and 22,385 deliveries recorded in Q4 2021, thanks to improved semiconductor supplies that supported higher production.

Once again, the Cadillac Escalade was the marque’s only model that managed to increase sales on a year-over-year basis. The iconic full-size SUV cemented its position as Cadillac’s best-selling vehicle, while also recording its best first quarter sales performance since 2007. In contrast, Cadillac’s cars and crossovers posted significant double-digit declines despite slight improvement in inventory.
