Right now, it’s very possible that someone at Cadillac HQ is writing a thank you note in Chinese.That country was the main driver of Cadillac’s 20.9-percent global sales increase in July. The brand’s sales in China almost doubled last month, going up 89.7 percent. For the year as a whole, Cadillac sales are up by 23.9 percent to 54,575 units.U.S. sales haven’t been as hot. Despite a 1.3-percent increase in July sales to 14,341 vehicles, Cadillac’s year-to-date U.S. figures are down almost eight percent.The good news is that Cadillac has new models to potentially snag customers. Worldwide, Cadillac dealers moved 8,130 units of the XT5, which replaces the aged SRX. Cadillac’s new flagship, the CT6, was sold 1,234 times last month. Year-to-date, 4,825 have found homes garages.People are still buying the Escalade, sending its global sales up 1.9 percent for the month of July and more than four percent for the year.However, last month Cadillac’s hottest model was the ATS, whose sales figures jumped from 3,776 units in July 2015 to 4,983 units – a 32-percent increase. Unfortunately, its sales are down 5.3 percent for the year. The CTS is in even worse shape.It’s an ironic shame that Cadillac is more popular in China than it is in the U.S. lately (at least in terms of percentages). Cadillac makes some luxurious versions of quintessentially American vehicles: big SUVs and fast cars with Corvette motors in them.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>via [Cadillac]photo credit [Cadillac]Follow @derekshiekhiTags: Cadillac, Cadillac ATS, Cadillac Escalade, gm news, Press Releases
