Ballers looking for a much smaller Cadillac Escalade may need to wait four years before such a beast arrives, per president Johan de Nysschen.
Reuters reports the small crossover will be priced under the Escalade's current $68,000, and will be part of the brand's overall $12 billion lineup expansion plan that will see eight vehicles introduced between now and the end of the decade.
Also coming in 2019: diesel-power for both cars and crossovers/SUVs. De Nysschen said he wants to start pushing for market share in Europe during the 2020s, explaining that "if you want to play in Europe, you better have some diesels." Said diesels would also be sold in the U.S. market.
Meanwhile, he expects sales to remain flat for 2015, linked to the lack of new product beyond the upcoming CT6 flagship until late into 2017. De Nysschen adds that the strengthening U.S. dollar would leave a dent in his brand and those of his U.S.-based competitors, while Asian and European automakers use the currency challenge to cut prices on their respective offerings.
