The Volkswagen Caddy Van.
More accessible in every way.
The versatile Volkswagen Caddy. The practicality and load-carrying capabilities of a van with the performance and comfort of a modern car, the Caddy is a solution to almost any transport problem. Now in it’s fourth generation, the Caddy brings the Volkswagen engineering might and knowledge to the compact van market, delivering class-leading driver comfort, efficient load space and easy load access height – the perfect companion for inner city deliveries where a larger van is just not required.
Hop in, hop out. Load, unload.
The doors of a commercial vehicle are opened and closed repeatedly over the course of a working day – and heavily strained in the process. That is why the new Caddy is built with hinges, rails and handles that are equal to the most demanding conditions. The low front cabin entry position (built on a Golf platform) and loading sill height allow for easy access for both driver and equipment, while the rear tailgate is equipped with a soft touch open and close function for additional comfort.
Well organised.
The new Caddy offers you the support you need, with a storage system made up of several storage compartments and surfaces of varying sizes. Take, for instance, the roof shelf, which extends across the full width of the vehicle. The storage pockets in the doors can hold a 1-litre bottle each, while the centre console is equipped with four cup holders and there’s even storage space under each front seat. For the first time, two open glove compartments are also included.
Load compartment and payload.
For efficient use of load space, choose between 3.2 m3 cubic capacity in the Caddy or 4.2 m3 in the Caddy Maxi so you’re not stuck driving a half-empty larger van. Payload is class leading – with an optional upgrade in the Caddy Maxi to allow for a 1,005kg load carrying capacity (only 75kg less than the Hiace), while braked towing capacity allows up to 1,500kg. Rear load access is via the tailgate or sliding side doors – single left slider on Caddy, left and right on Caddy Maxi as standard.
All new engine and design.
No matter what industry you work in, the new Caddy always exudes a high degree of competence and dependability. It features an all new generation TSI engine with similar power and torque as the previous model TDI (92kw/220Nm) along with fuel consumption from 5.6L/100kms combined. Its styling features sharper and clearer lines, a more dynamic front, and redesigned tailgate. Further highlights include the chrome trim strip on the radiator grille, the striking headlights and optional alloy wheels.
“What a revelation the VW [Caddy Runner] is, reminding you of an eager [fox terrior] anxious to please, doing so with huge enthusiasm and personality.”
