Cadillac Escalade or GMC Yukon: Which SUV for Your Group?

If you need a chauffeured car for more than three people in Dubai, a full-size SUV is usually the answer. Our fleet has two: the Cadillac Escalade and the GMC Yukon. On paper they look alike, and in the most practical way they are. The differences are in the cabin and the class.

What they share

Both carry six passengers and six bags. Both have a third row of seats, rear climate control, chilled water and onboard Wi-Fi. For a family landing at DXB with a full load of suitcases, either one will take everyone and everything in a single car.

Where they differ

The Cadillac Escalade sits in the luxury SUV class. Its cabin adds captain's chairs, AKG studio audio, rear entertainment screens and a panoramic roof. It is the SUV to choose when the arrival itself is part of the occasion.

The GMC Yukon sits in the Business class. It keeps the third row and the essentials, rear climate control, chilled water and Wi-Fi, without the entertainment and audio upgrades. At the time of writing it is AED 85 an hour or AED 800 a day.

Which to choose

Choose the Escalade for:

• VIP and delegation arrivals where presence matters. See VIP transportation.
• Weddings, for the families or the wedding party. See wedding chauffeur.
• Evenings out where the journey is part of the event.

Choose the Yukon for:

• Family airport pickups with a full load of luggage. See airport transfers.
• Business groups moving between meetings by the hour. See hourly chauffeur.
• Any group trip where space matters more than the badge.

When six seats is not enough

For seven passengers, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class has conference-style seating and a folding table. For larger groups, the Toyota Hiace Executive seats fourteen, with a dedicated luggage bay.

Booking either

Both are booked the same way, point-to-point or by the hour, with the chauffeur, fuel and Salik tolls included in a fixed price. Current rates for each are on the Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon pages.
