Press Release:<\/p>\n

Cadillac\u2019s total U.S. sales rose 36 percent in April to 11,317 <\/strong>driven by significant gains for SRX and positive momentum for Escalade and CTS.<\/p>\n

SRX total sales for April rose 587 percent, the seventh straight month of triple-digit percentage increases. Redesigned for the 2010 model year, SRX has quickly become a stand-out in the fast-growing midsize luxury crossover segment.<\/p>\n

The redesigned SRX also is attracting new customers to Cadillac at a higher rate than the previous model. So far this year, about 49 percent of SRX buyers traded in a competitor\u2019s brand, an improvement of 14 percentage points compared to the previous model\u2019s conquest rate.<\/p>\n

A five-passenger crossover, SRX\u2019s standard V6 engine is EPA-rated at 25 miles per gallon on the highway. SRX also provides the option of advanced all-wheel drive and a turbocharged V6 engine.<\/p>\n

\u201cSRX is appealing to luxury buyers with performance, fuel-efficiency and dramatic design,\u201d said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of Cadillac sales. \u201cSRX has put Cadillac\u2019s signature on the midsize luxury crossover segment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Escalade total sales rose 21 percent in April, and CTS had its best month of the year as Cadillac builds on the core of its line-up. Cadillac will launch this summer the CTS Coupe.<\/p>\n

Even before its release, CTS Coupe is drawing praise from the automotive press. A luxury sports coupe that will be available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions, CTS Coupe will become Cadillac\u2019s centerpiece for design and performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say the coupe is positively gorgeous,\u201d Automobile<\/em> magazine wrote in a preview of the CTS Coupe earlier this year. \u201cPictures simply don\u2019t do it justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later this year, Cadillac will expand its line of V-Series high-performance luxury vehicles with the addition of the CTS-V Coupe and CTS-V Sport Wagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
