Let our Paul Conte Cadillac team guide you to the best Cadillac livery cars for your transportation or business needs.
The Best Cadillac Livery Cars
All Cadillac models are known for their distinctive features and comfortable, yet upscale interiors. However, the following options should top your list as you prepare to drive other passengers around and near New York.
Cadillac Escalade
For drivers wanting extra space to handle groups – such as with the Uber Black SUV program – a Cadillac Escalade is an excellent choice. Enjoy three-row seating, available leather upholstery, a 55-inch diagonal display, and a premium 21-speaker sound system.
Cadillac Escalade ESV
The Cadillac Escalade ESV shares many qualities with the baseline model. But, at a length of 227 inches, you'll have more cargo space to work with, as well as additional third-row legroom. If you need to guarantee enough space for six passengers, this could be the best SUV for limo service.
Cadillac VISTIQ
The vegan leather of the Cadillac VISTIQ makes this all-electric SUV truly comfortable. A perfect fit for the eco-conscious driver wanting to bring modern design to their livery service, the VISTIQ comes with standard massaging front seats for long days, heated second-row seats for cold weather, and a 23-speaker premium sound system.

Cadillac XT5
For a midsize SUV, consider the Cadillac XT5. Rather than focusing on three-row comfort, the well-balanced XT5 prioritizes responsive performance, hands-free features, easy access to a Head-Up Display, and elegant features like illuminating door handles.
Cadillac CT5
Of our Cadillac livery sedans, the CT5 is one of the most versatile. It has 37.9 inches of rear legroom, available semi-aniline leather seating, a premium sound system, and heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats for your long shift.

Backen Black seats with Santorini accents come standard and are carefully quilted with Fjord (chevron) patterns, so all six passengers across three rows receive the same lovingly sculpted design.

The XT6 is an all-gas three-row SUV that comes with two powertrain options: a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V-6 that complements the busy streets near New York.
