Despite a 12% drop in sales of the Cadillac Escalade, previously the segment leader, and a 32% plunge in sales of the Lincoln Navigator in the lead-up to a new Navigator’s launch, category-wide volume grew by 2295 units. The GLS and Escalade accounted for just under half of the sales reported here.
