Doha - Mannai Auto Group, the exclusive Cadillac dealer in Qatar, recorded the highest annual sales growth in 2015 for Cadillac in the Middle East.

Cadillac President Johan de Nyschen presented the award acknowledging Mannai Auto's 35.2% sales growth during a recent Global Dealer Conference held in California.

Mahmoud Skhiri, General Sales Manager, Mannai Auto Group, who accepted the award, said: "We are extremely honored to receive this recognition. It reflects the efforts of our sales and customer service teams who made Qatar the top performing Cadillac market in the region. Through Mannai Auto, customers have access to an enhanced after sales program and they benefit from strong partnerships with multiple local banks offering financial solutions to suit their needs."

Felix Weller, Managing Director, Cadillac Middle East said the brand's focus on breaking away from convention has been the key driver behind its success. "We have been focusing on differentiating ourselves. We concentrate on unique design, advanced technologies and emotive driving dynamics. We are delighted that more and more customers in Qatar are identifying with us."

The flagship Escalade SUV continues to be a top seller in the country, with the ATS, CTS and XTS passenger cars crossover growing in popularity. Two vehicles in the new lineup, the performance 2016 ATS-V and CTS-V Series recently arrived in Doha after registering significant amounts of pre-sales interest among performance car lovers.

Cadillac's increasing popularity has given rise to an aggressive portfolio expansion plan that will see the introduction of eight new vehicles over the next few years. This first phase of this expansion includes the 2017 XT5 and 2017 CT6, which were both unveiled for the first time in the country at the recently concluded Qatar Motor Show and are expected to be top draws when they arrive in showrooms across the country this summer.
