It should also be noted that These come on the heal of a healthy $51,000 average transaction price for 2015 in the U.S., second only to Mercedes Benz. Inventory levels have been pushed below the 50-day mark as Cadillac plans to expand its line-up soon with the launch of the range topping CT6 large executive sedan in March, followed by the XT5 crossover as a replacement for the very successful SRX. The vehicles will be built in Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and Spring Hill, Tenn. respectively.
“Cadillac’s global expansion is building momentum, driven by increasing product substance and disciplined growth strategies,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “Not only did volume grow, but Cadillac’s transformed products earned higher transaction prices from customers, driving lower inventory levels. This creates a strong foundation for our two all-new products launching in the first half of 2016 – the CT6 prestige sedan and the XT5 luxury crossover.”
