If you live in Englewood and have to make bumper-to-bumper trips into and out of the city, you likely want a vehicle that will transform your stressful commute into something that is easier to endure. The good news is that Cadillac does exactly that with its lineup of luxurious vehicles filled with high-end features and premium materials. Even better, Cadillac is now adding EV options to its lineup, giving you even greater convenience while reducing emissions during your commute.
That's right, if you're considering something to make driving easier to and from work, in and out of the city, across the George Washington Bridge, and back again, then you will want to visit Cadillac of Manhattan, your Cadillac dealer near Englewood. We carry a large selection of Cadillac EVs that might just be the answer to your commuting needs. Here are five ways that Cadillac EVs make commuting to the city easier than ever before.
#1 - No More Stopping for Gas
Even if gas prices don't bother you that much, having to actually stop to refuel can be a real pain. One of the ways that Cadillac has made commuting easier for Englewood drivers who have to travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens is by eliminating the need to stop for gas. Driving an EV removes a lot of headaches and gives you peace of mind while you travel.
This is made possible thanks to all-electric propulsion provided by battery packs for vehicles like the Cadillac LYRIQ and the upcoming Cadillac OPTIQ and Escalade IQ. You no longer have to worry about a combustion-based engine that requires gas to perform. In fact, doing away with the combustion engine for these all-electric vehicles also means doing away with the maintenance required for its upkeep. That means fewer visits to our service center and no longer having to replace the engine oil and filters or deal with old spark plugs and faulty exhaust systems.
Having fewer mechanical parts to worry about and getting to bypass traveling to the gas pump altogether is a huge boon for Englewood drivers who have to do a lot of weekday commuting. It means less time having to plan your trips to the gas pump and not finding yourself having to pump gas at night or waiting in long lines to refuel. You can plot your route out beforehand and know if you have enough charge to get to your destination and back without interrupting your commute to refuel.
#2 - Charging at Home Is a True Convenience
The main reason that you no longer need to worry about regularly refueling a Cadillac EV the same way you would a gas-powered vehicle is because you have the option to charge at home. If you have a garage, then you can very conveniently charge your Cadillac overnight and have it ready to go in the morning. This is a really big advantage that you get with an EV over other vehicles.
You can charge the vehicle based on how much range you need, and you don't have to charge it if you don't need to. In most cases, you can commute for days on a single full charge and only charge when you absolutely need to. And again, you can charge the vehicle from the comfort of your own home. If you absolutely need to, you can recharge a Cadillac EV at a public charging station with either Level 2 destination charging or Level 3 DC fast charging, where you can get a top-off in just minutes.
With an EV, you have the convenience of keeping your vehicle charged up and ready to go at a moment's notice at your own place. It's not only more convenient, but it's also a lot safer than the traditional way of refueling in public, which gives you added peace of mind. It also means that you can focus more on just getting to and from your destination and commuting without worrying about where you need to stop to refuel along the way since you can do all of that from home with available Cadillac home charging stations.
#3 - Hundreds of Miles of Range on a Single Charge
Some people worry that with EVs, they will have to constantly keep their car hooked up to charge or spend hours at a public charge station recharging the battery. The reality is that you can go hundreds of miles on a single full charge without having to stop to recharge the vehicle. This gives you a lot of range to commute to and from work, run errands, or even go to events or family outings without having to fret over the battery's charge.
If you're interested in a midsize electric SUV, the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ provides an EPA-estimated 307 miles of range even in its dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration. That means you get lots of power and performance out of the LYRIQ while also being able to get plenty of range. You get even more range out of the rear-wheel drive LYRIQ, which manages an estimated 314 miles on a full charge. That means you could commute from Englewood to Staten Island for five days straight before having to recharge.
The upcoming 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ does even better. This full-size luxury SUV offers seating for up to seven passengers, lots of power and performance, and an estimated 450 miles of total range in an all-wheel drive configuration. This not only means that you have a great family vehicle, but it could also work as a great commuter vehicle due to its long range. You have a luxury vehicle that not only gets you to and from your destination in style but offers you excellent range, so you're not always thinking about charging the battery while you're on the road.
#4 - No More Engine Vibrations
One of the major benefits of EVs is that since they no longer have a combustion-based engine, they no longer produce noise and vibrations like traditional gas-powered vehicles. With Cadillac EVs, you have extremely luxurious and quiet vehicles that do away with the hums and noises you may have become accustomed to with gas-powered vehicles. In turn, this gives you quite a relaxing ride, so much so that you may not even want to leave the driver's seat when you reach your destination.
The quiet ride is enhanced with high-quality, luxury interiors. You have a level of cabin opulence that you won't find from most other commuter vehicles, including high-quality seating material with contour designs individualized for maximum comfort levels, as well as features like the Escalade IQ's 40-speaker AKG Studio Reference audio system and the Lyriq's 33-inch HD advanced infotainment display. You have high-quality materials, ergonomic lines, and plenty of amenities, such as cup holders, headrests, and storage compartments for your work materials, laptops, or smart devices.
Combining high-tech interior creature comforts with all-electric design gives drivers and passengers a relaxing and comfortable ride without any of the drawbacks typically associated with gas-powered vehicles. No rumbles, no regular maintenance work on the engine or transmission, and all of the high-tech opportunities provided by a luxury vehicle with long-range travel accommodations. It's the perfect mixture of commuter-focused utility with luxury-themed functionality.
#5 - Hands-Free Commuting With Super Cruise
What is the best way to make commuting easier? Not driving. No, really. If you don't want commuting to be difficult, annoying, headache-inducing, or stressful, just don't drive. Modern self-driving cars let you commute to work without needing to drive yourself. That's right, there is a way to get out of driving during your lengthy commutes, even while you're seated in a car.
Cadillac EVs are available with Super Cruise functionality, which enables drivers to take advantage of true hands-free driving on compatible lidar-mapped highways. The feature is available on the LYRIQ and Escalade IQ and gives you access to more than 400,000 miles of roads across North America without having to put your hands on the steering wheel. This includes local roads around Englewood, like I-95, Highway 4, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway.
This feature alone makes owning a Cadillac EV well worth the investment for drivers in Englewood looking for a great vehicle to make commuting relaxing, comfortable, and ultimately stress-free. Having a quiet, feature-rich, electric vehicle that gets you to and from your destination without having to worry about being stressed over bumper-to-bumper traffic, thanks to hands-free Super Cruise, makes it all worthwhile. A Cadillac EV is a great investment both as a daily driver and for your own mental well-being when it comes to making commuting a less stressful aspect of your life.
