Detroit –  Cadillac reported retail sales growth for the 17^th consecutive month in June with U.S. retail sales rising 5 percent in June to 10,215, led by the CTS family of luxury cars and Escalade line of luxury SUVs.

“Luxury consumers continue to respond to Cadillac’s product lineup,” said Kurt McNeil, vice president of Cadillac Sales and Service. “Beyond just sales figures, this month we also saw Cadillac recognized as the leading U.S. brand in Initial Quality by J.D. Power.”

In June, J.D. Power released its 2011 Initial Quality Survey (IQS) which ranked Cadillac ninth overall in an initial customer quality survey and rated the Cadillac Escalade the best- performing luxury brand vehicle in its segment.

The CTS Sedan, Wagon and Coupe posted retail sales of 3,978 units in June for a 16 percent increase compared to June last year. Year-to-date sales to individual customers of the CTS family are up 62 percent. Year-to-date retail sales of the CTS sedan increased 20 percent over last year.

SRX retail sales also remained strong in June at 3,678 units. SRX has a calendar year-to-date retail sales increase of 18 percent.

Escalade sales also continued to grow with calendar-year-to-date retail sales up 8 percent. Escalade remains the top selling luxury SUV brand in the United States and retained the top J.D. Power IQS ranking for the second year in a row.

Fleet sales declined in June as Cadillac continues to focus on retail sales. Fleet sales accounted for just over 6 percent of sales, down from 17 percent of sales last year.
