Cadillac’s growth in China, the world’s largest market, was a robust 63 percent in March. Cadillac remains the fastest-growing luxury automotive brand in China.
The brand continues its sustained trajectory of increasing transaction prices. According to Power Information Network, the average U.S. transaction price for a new Cadillac in March rose to $54,268, thousands more than luxury competitors such as BMW, Audi and Lexus.
