Apart from the outstanding sales performance, Cadillac brand has obtained some initial marketing achievements in recent years. In the past 2017, Cadillac attached its name to the landmark buildings of Shanghai and Beijing, the Shanghai Concert Hall and Beijing Wukesong Culture & Sports Center.

Cadillac aims to achieve the annual sales exceeding 200,000 vehicles in China this year. To accomplish this sales target, the brand has a blueprint to launch a global-oriented SUV model with an all-new design and powertrains which is expected to lead Cadillac into a new auto segment. The new SUV model is predicted to be compact SUV-XT4 priced lower than that of XT5.

Besides, the luxury vehicle brand will work on providing consumers with more convenient and intelligent services continually using the E-Service intelligent system, MyCadillac mobile app as well as OnStar service system.
