Detroit--Cadillac announced a new agreement with Carey International, the world’s largest livery company, for the purchase of 150 new Cadillac XTS W20 Professional Services Sedans.
“In determining what vehicle would best compliment and represent Carey’s established brand premium as well as satisfy the evolving needs and expectations of today’s client, we conducted extensive research on 24 vehicles,” says Gary Kessler, president and CEO of Carey International. “Our customers wanted approachable luxury and enabling technology. We chose the XTS as the cornerstone of the Carey brand because it represented the perfect combination of power, luxury, technology, and sophistication that our customers desire and demand today. In the end, the decision to go with the XTS was a no brainer.”
The XTS was designed to be a spacious and sophisticated car refined for an improved driving and riding experience. The award-winning CUE driver interface comes standard on the Livery Sedan, providing unmatched levels of customized in-vehicle connectivity and control.
Additionally, its industry-tailored design features luxurious interior appointments, and refined comfort with spacious riding quarters: 37.8" of headroom, 56.3" of shoulder room, and 54.3" of hip room. In a league of its own with 18 cubic feet of cargo space: large enough to carry five full-size pieces of luggage or four golf bags, the XTS delivers extraordinary power with its FWD 3.6L V6 engine and 6-speed transmission.
“XTS represents a new approach to luxury, centered on advanced technology and design,” says Don Butler, vice president of Cadillac marketing. “This same approach extends to Professional Vehicles, where we are bringing a new formula to the livery customer. Every experience in a Cadillac, front seat or rear seat, meets a higher standard for luxury, performance, and technology.”
