According to most movies and TV shows, New Yorkers only use the subway or taxis to get around the city, but we know the truth: plenty of us enjoy owning a car just as much as anyone else. But if you're anything like us, you want a car tailored to urban navigation—not merely a make and model that meets your basic needs, but something with the kinds of features you'll enjoy and get the most from. Cadillac is an obvious choice for New Yorkers as it delivers the perfect blend of gorgeous style, luxurious sophistication, and impressive performance for enjoying the city.
As your premier Cadillac dealer in New York City, we understand what you're looking for when shopping for your next vehicle—they're the same things we want, too. This is one of the reasons we're so proud to be able to offer the modern lineup of Cadillac vehicles; not only are they a pleasure to own and drive, but they make getting around the city incredibly enjoyable. Cadillac makes some of the finest vehicles on the road, and they understand the needs of city drivers, with a rich history of luxury and bold performance. Let's take a look at some of the features you can find on different Cadillac models and how they will benefit you.
Feature #1 – Cadillac Connected Services
We'd be hard-pressed to choose a favorite feature of the Cadillac lineup, but if we absolutely had to pick, then Cadillac Connected Services would be a likely choice. Rather than referring to just one technology, this includes a suite of features and options that come together to create a driving and car-owning experience unlike any other. All of these features work together with apps on your phone and Cadillac Mobile Apps (more on that in a moment) to make getting the most from your vehicle even easier.
With these Connected Services, you can access your vehicle's systems using your smartphone or similar devices, or you can access other services through your Cadillac's infotainment system. Worried you might've forgotten to lock your vehicle? Simply pull out your phone, open the myCadillac Mobile App, and you can lock or unlock your doors, check your tire pressure, and even see how full your gas tank is. You can start your vehicle using your phone and get it warming up before you even leave your home on a winter morning—it doesn't get much more convenient than that.
Feature #2 – Cadillac Mobile App and User Experience
We already talked a bit about the kinds of things you can do using the myCadillac Mobile App, but these commands are even easier than you might expect, thanks to Voice Assistant functionality. You don't even need to press anything on your phone—just launch the app and use voice commands to lock and unlock your vehicle, turn off the engine, or manage other Cadillac vehicles under a single household profile. The app lets you see your vehicle on a map and even set alerts for notifications when it crosses certain boundaries you set, perfect for keeping tabs on a new teen driver getting their first taste of freedom.
Within your vehicle, the Cadillac User Experience has never been better, thanks to the latest infotainment systems and gorgeous displays for you to utilize. Cadillac's 3D maps with real-time weather and traffic updates make it convenient to get where you're going, while your vehicle can access your phone's contact lists to get in touch or send messages to your friends and family. It's incredibly easy to integrate your Cadillac into the rest of your life and stay connected at all times, even while you're on the road.
Feature #3 – Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving
Every manufacturer right now is racing to be the first to deliver fully-autonomous driving; while no company has cracked it yet, we'd say GM is the closest with its Super Cruise system, which you can find across the Cadillac lineup. Super Cruise is a hands-free technology that has taken semi-autonomous driving to the next level, with hundreds of thousands of miles across North America ready for travel. More than 34,000,000 miles have been driven hands-free with Super Cruise since this technology was first introduced, and it's proven itself to be an amazing option for a lot of drivers.
Admittedly, you won't get a lot of use out of Super Cruise technology when driving in the city, but it's perfect for getting away from it all. There are plenty of highways throughout New York and the surrounding states that support the use of Super Cruise. Nothing quite beats escaping from the city, hitting the open road, and taking your hands off the wheel as you yield control to your automobile. It can make a long road trip effortless and help you get where you're going safely while you enjoy the drive.
Feature #4 – Live Your Cadillac EV Life
If you have any interest in seeing what the future of the auto industry looks like with an electric vehicle (EV), then Cadillac has you covered. GM has established itself as a leader in the EV market already, and the stunning new Cadillac Lyriq is a major part of that, delivering some of the most amazing EV driving available anywhere. Every Lyriq comes with a dual-level charging cord that works with both 240-volt and 120-volt outlets, making it easy for you to plug your EV in just about anywhere—plus, you can have a Level 2 Home Charger installed to make it even more convenient to keep your Cadillac topped up, doing so while you're snug in your bed.
Of course, Cadillac EV models also support the latest DC Fast Charging technology, so it's easy for you to charge your vehicle wherever you find yourself. DC Fast Charging can provide you with up to 77 miles of range in just ten minutes of charging, which is perfect for getting around the city. We're fortunate to have plenty of charging stations across NYC, so owning and enjoying an EV like the Lyriq is easy without upending your lifestyle.
Feature #5 – Cadillac Craftsmanship
Plenty of people think they've seen luxury in other vehicles, and then they get into a Cadillac and discover what luxury really feels like. The level of care and attention to detail that goes into Cadillac vehicles is beyond what you'll find with so many other brands; this vigilance for sophistication truly defines their company ethos.
Cadillac's designers and craftspeople use authentic, real materials like cut-and-sewn leather, natural woods, premium metals, and more throughout the interiors of their vehicles. Whether you're looking at the massive 38-inch curved OLED display in the latest Cadillac Escalade or the massage seats in the Cadillac XTS, you'll find sophisticated details and technology that combine perfectly with this rich luxury. It is elegant with a purpose that welcomes you in and ensures you'll enjoy your drive whenever you get behind the wheel.
