Cadillac continued its massive growth in China, the world’s largest market, with sales rising 116% in January. In the U.S., Cadillac retail sales increased 1.2%.   However total U.S. sales declined overall (4.1%) driven by a reduction in sales to commercial fleet customers.

“Cadillac begins 2017 with a continuation of the robust global growth of 2016, a year in which we sold more products worldwide than any point in the past three decades,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “We are growing the business significantly and attracting a youthful and affluent demographic, elevating the aspirational character of the brand.  This is particularly the case in China, where our growth is explosive and sustained."
