As GM Canada reported the best calendar year of Cadillac sales since 1979, Cadillac’s cars slid 5% in 2015.
2016 begins on a much better note. Cadillac’s cars jumped 45% in an admittedly low-volume January, an increase of 250 units thanks to a doubling of Cadillac ATS sales, a 73% CTS increase, and a 44% XTS uptick.

For the ATS, 259 sales represented the fifth-best total among small and entry luxury cars. Only two Mercedes-Benzes and two closely related BMWs sold more often.
For the Cadillac CTS, sales remained rather low in this increasingly unpopular category. But the CTS outsold the Hyundai Genesis, Audi A6, BMW 5-Series, and numerous other potential rivals in January.
The Genesis, A6, and 5-Series all outsold the CTS in calendar year 2015. The Genesis, A6, 5-Series all declined in January. Mercedes-Benz’s E-Class and its CLS-Class offshoot jumped 44% to 231 units last month.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the XC70 listed with luxury SUVs and the Acura ILX with mainstream cars… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
^ Mercedes-Benz’s Canadian sales figures combine the E-Class with the CLS-Class. Audi Canada’s A4 sales figures include sales of the Allroad.
‡ The XTS, K900, and Equus aren’t listed here because they’re not massive – they are – but because their price points position them much more closely to, for example, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the S-Class. Genesis sales figures here do not include sales of the Genesis Coupe (as Hyundai’s U.S. Genesis sales figures do), making the comparison with premium brand vehicles much more valid.
