Cadillac’s overall performance in the US this past year was something of a mixed bag. The brand’s three biggest heavy hitters—the SRX, CTS, and ATS—all posted respectable sales despite being down from the year prior.
The ATS was down 22% with 2,465 sales, marking its poorest December performance since its launch in 2012. Despite adding in 31,115 sales, the CTS was down 3.8% and posted its poorest full-year performance since it launched in 2002. The SRX remained Cadillac’s best-seller overall with 53,578 units delivered; despite being down 5.6% from 2013, December sales of the SRX marked the model’s third-best month for the year.
