The next chapter of luxury transportation has arrived at EmpireCLS. We’re excited to welcome the newest addition to our EV fleet: the all-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ.
“EmpireCLS has always been committed to leading the industry in both luxury and innovation, and expanding our electric vehicle offerings to include the all-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ is the next step in that journey. This addition allows us to deliver the full-size SUV comfort and presence our clients expect, while dramatically reducing emissions and supporting their sustainability goals without compromising the experience they love.” – CEO David Seelinger
As the chauffeured industry leader with the largest electric fleet, we continue to invest in vehicles that set the standard for modern luxury transportation. Alongside the Escalade IQ, our EV lineup features two standout luxury sedans: the Cadillac LYRIQ and Lucid Air.
As the #1 requested vehicle at EmpireCLS, the Escalade is trusted for its commanding presence, spacious comfort, and premium passenger experience. The 2026 Escalade IQ marks the latest evolution of an automotive icon, now fully electric for the first time. The Escalade IQ takes everything clients already love about this iconic SUV and elevates it with next-generation electric performance, a smooth, quiet ride, and cutting-edge in-cabin technology—delivering a refined experience tailored for executive and VIP transportation.
The SUV accommodates up to six passengers, with heated, ventilated, massaging seats in the Executive Second Row and advanced in-cabin entertainment, including vivid displays, customizable LED lighting, and immersive AKG audio. Generous front and rear cargo space ensures flexibility for luggage, making it ideal for airport and VIP transfers.
Recognized as SUV of the Year 2026 by MotorTrend, this newest addition to the EmpireCLS fleet demonstrates that even the most legendary luxury experiences can evolve responsibly, offering style, performance, and comfort without leaving a carbon footprint.
The LYRIQ is a luxury electric sedan designed for up to three passengers, blending sustainability with sophisticated performance. With an EPA-estimated range of over 325 miles, it easily handles full-day itineraries. Ample front trunk storage, combined with a full-size rear trunk, accommodates multiple pieces of luggage, while the expansive panoramic glass roof and individual climate zones create a bright, personalized cabin environment.
The expansive 33-inch LED display houses Cadillac’s advanced infotainment system with native Google integration and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with an immersive AKG Studio premium sound system.
Lucid Air
Lucid Air sets a new standard for luxury electric sedans, offering an EPA-estimated range of over 400 miles for uninterrupted travel across airports and city routes. Its whisper-quiet cabin, advanced noise cancellation, and premium materials create a serene environment, while the mesh sunshade system and full-length glass canopy provide passenger privacy at the push of a button.
Dual touchscreen displays offer intuitive climate, navigation, and entertainment controls, and generous front and rear cargo space handles all kinds of luggage. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility keep passengers seamlessly connected, combining technology, comfort, and sustainability in a single elevated experience.
In 2026, EmpireCLS remains focused on expanding clean transportation, embracing innovation, and delivering carbon-conscious luxury at every touchpoint. For passengers and organizations who value sustainability as an integral part of modern luxury, we make it effortless to move forward—responsibly. Experience it yourself and book a ride today.

At EmpireCLS, we view corporate travel as an extension of your business operations. Every ride is a reflection of your standards, your values, and your expectations—and we take that responsibility seriously.
Time is the most valuable asset for executives and corporate teams. Our chauffeured services are designed around absolute punctuality, proactive planning, and real-time coordination.

Each vehicle is selected not simply for its presence, but for exceptional comfort, privacy, and unparalleled performance, ensuring every journey feels elevated.
EmpireCLS invests heavily in chauffeur training, advanced vehicle technology, and rigorous safety protocols to ensure every journey meets the highest standards of care.

Corporate travel often spans multiple cities, time zones, and teams. EmpireCLS delivers consistent experience across 1000+ cities across 6 continents, ensuring that executives receive the same level of service, professionalism, and comfort—wherever business takes them.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience overall. Turner communicated clearly ahead of time, was easy to find at pickup, and drove safely and smoothly throughout the trip. Professional, friendly, and made the whole experience stress free. – Michael W.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Boris was great. He patiently waited and helped me find my luggage that were not on my flight but had been sent on an earlier flight. We had to track down where my luggage had been stored. Smooth ride once we finally got on the road, not a jerky ride. Then carried my luggage up the front stairs. Thumbs up! – William H.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It could not have been better!! Solomon is a brilliant driver and an exceptional human being. He navigated Los Angeles in bad weather and bad traffic with expertise, ease, grace, humor, and intelligence. A+++ – Grace A

Each edition captures the progress happening across our organization – from fleet advancements and operational improvements to continuous refinements in the art of chauffeuring.
Throughout 2025, EmpireCLS supported a full calendar of high-profile global events, delivering premier chauffeured services for major award shows including the Grammy Awards, Golden Globes, Oscars, and SAG Awards.

In 2025, EmpireCLS was honored with several notable travel industry recognitions, including being named “Specialty Partner of the Year” by Global Travel Collection and awarded “Highest Annual Growth, Specialty Partner” by the Virtuoso network for the second consecutive year. To be recognized by both GTC and Virtuoso with these distinguished honors reflects the meaningful partnerships we’ve built over the years with the travel industry’s most respected professionals.
Last year we relaunched EmpireCLS University, enhancing our chauffeur training program to further emphasize safety, professionalism, and anticipatory service. The updated curriculum blends classroom instruction with real-world evaluation, reinforcing defensive driving, situational awareness, and service standards aligned with 5 diamond luxury hospitality expectations. Ongoing development is reinforced through personalized performance reviews four weeks after graduation, ensuring that every chauffeur continues to grow and deliver the seamless, elevated experience that defines EmpireCLS.
Client feedback remains one of our most important benchmarks. In 2025, EmpireCLS maintained a 98% five-star chauffeur rating, reflecting daily commitment across thousands of journeys worldwide. This consistency is the result of rigorous training, accountability, and a shared understanding that every trip deserves the highest level of care.
As we move forward, EmpireCLS remains focused on strengthening our global reach, investing in our people, and refining every aspect of the client journey. The progress made in 2025 reinforces our long-term vision: to provide dependable, thoughtfully executed chauffeured transportation.
