Historically, Cadillac was undeniably a top-tier luxury brand, competing directly with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus. However, in recent decades, their market position has shifted. While they still offer vehicles with high-end features and luxurious appointments, they're generally considered to be in a slightly lower tier of the luxury market than the top German brands and some Japanese competitors. Their pricing also reflects this.
So, while they are *still marketed* as a luxury brand and offer luxury features, whether they are *considered* a luxury car by individual consumers depends on their personal definition of luxury and their comparison points. Some would consider them a luxury car, while others might place them in a more "near-luxury" or "premium" category.
