2010 SRX

The SRX luxury crossover posted another triple-digit month of sales increases as Cadillac total sales increased 42 percent in March.



Sales of SRX, a compact crossover redesigned for the 2010 model year, rose 550 percent, the seventh straight month of more than 100 percent year-over-year growth. The new SRX also is commanding a residual value well above the residual value for the previous model – up more than 17 percentage points.



“The SRX is proof that the right vehicle can break through even in a difficult market,” said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for Cadillac sales. “SRX is appealing to luxury buyers searching for a crossover with style and performance.”



In a March review, AutoWeek editors cited the SRX Turbo’s excellent handling, smooth powertrain and premium interior.



“The hits keep coming from Cadillac,” AutoWeek Associate Editor Jonathan Wong wrote. “Following all the great CTS variants to spill out from Caddy, it continues the trend with this SRX Turbo.”



SRX is building on a strong foundation at Cadillac. CTS retail sales rose 12 percent in March, compared to February, as its sales momentum this year continued. In May, Cadillac will launch an all-new CTS Coupe to extend the acclaimed CTS nameplate. The brand adds the high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon later this year.
