With the Lincoln Town Car now officially out of commission, Cadillac is looking capitalize on a gap in the market with a livery-spec version of its new XTS sedan.

Cadillac may be pushing an up-scale image these days, but that isn’t stopping the brand from introducing a new version of its XTS sedan aimed at the livery business. Cadillac will introduce its XTS “W20 Livery Sedan Package†at the upcoming International Limousine, Charter and Tour Show in Las Vegas.

Not much is known about the XTS W20 package, but the car will include all the standard features of the retail XTS. That means livery buyers can expect to find luxuries like illuminated door handles, rear-vision camera, OnStar and even Brembo brakes.

Cadillac will also offer extended wheelbase and limousine chassis versions of the XTS by year’s end.

No word on how much the livery-spec XTS will cost, but “special pricing and incentives are expected be announced at the show.†Given the high-mileage nature of the livery business, the W20 package will come with a 3-year/150,000 mile warranty rather than Cadillac’s standard 5-year/100,000 mile coverage.

Cadillac is no stranger to the livery market as its DTS sedan was once popular in the industry.
