The Cadillac Society Take

After suffering five consecutive quarters of contractions, Cadillac China sales experienced a healthy uptick during the fourth quarter of 2022, posting its first positive quarterly result since the middle of the 2021 calendar year. In this way, the luxury marque manages has stabilized its sales in China, despite a challenging environment caused by the resurgence of COVID-19 in the Asian country.

The improvement was driven by strong demand for the Cadillac CT5, which maintained and strengthened its position as the brand’s best-selling vehicle in the Chinese market. Although the automaker doesn’t share sales figures for individual models, it did reveal that sales of the luxury sedan increased 8.7 percent from a year earlier.

All-new Cadillac Lyriq AWD Sport

Meanwhile, Q4 represented the first full quarter that the all-new Cadillac Lyriq was available in China, albeit in lower quantities. Deliveries of the all-electric luxury crossover started across the Cadillac IQ network of stores during the final week of September 2022. However, volume is still low as GM works to spin up the supply of Ultium batteries and Ultium motors.
