CADILLAC
Cadillac is one of the world’s first automobile brands, ranking fourth in the United States behind Autocar Company (1897), Oldsmobile (1897), and Buick (1899). It was named after the founder of Detroit, Michigan, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. His coat of arms inspired the Cadillac crest. The Cadillac Motor Car Division is a premium vehicle design and manufacturing division of the American automaker General Motors Company (GM).

Cadillac sold 390,458 vehicles worldwide in 2019, a new high for the brand.
In Vietnam, Cadillac Escalade did not have a genuine distributor. It depends on the importer privately to satisfy the needs of a group of customers who preferred large, classy and comfortable luxury SUVs. And the product brought back is mainly the ESV extension shaft version. Because it is an imported car, the price of The Cadillac Escalade will not have a specific listing, it depends on the importer as well as the equipment package that customers choose, ranging from 8 to 10 billion VND. The price of Cadillac Escalade will depend on each importer as well as the specific time that customers choose to buy the car.

JEEP
Jeep officially returned to the Vietnamese market on November 6, 2020, after a period of absence. With this return, Jeep brings a completely new image to two legendary cars, the Wrangler and Gladiator. While keeping the original value of the Off-road spirit and bringing the breath of modern life. People know Jeep with its “military” vehicles designed to be easy to move on many terrains, simple in structure, durable and easy to repair. These cars are still quite strange to the majority of Vietnamese people, many people have only seen them through movies.
If returning to Vietnam, the Jeep cars will not seem to have too fierce competition besides the famous G-Class of Mercedes-Benz. Jeep promises to attract and meet the needs of off-road driving of a small segment of customers when there are still few choices in the market.
