The first pictures and details of the all new Volkswagen Caddy and Caddy Maxi range have been on the rampage before of the vehicle’s world debut at this September’s IAA Hanover Commercial Vehicle show and arrival in United Kingdom Volkswagen Van Centres in November.
After six years and sales of nearly 800,000 vehicles of the departing model, the new generation Caddy range promises to be more economical to run , with enhanced safety features, enhanced quality and refinement, plus higher environmental scores . These modifications ensure to carry on the Caddy’s victory as one of VW’s top -selling models around the globe – even as far away as Australia .
The all new look of the new generation models are refreshed with the latest frontal styling found across all new Volkswagens , such as the all new Polo and Transporter.
There are also new back light clusters, plus roof rails available for the first time , and the selection of cornering lights. It is a similar story inside , where new instruments, steering wheels and audio/navigation systems plus the option of Bluetooth connectivity enhance the Caddy range with more quality and fashion .
insdie the bonnet there is a completely new range of four of Volkswagen’s latest common rail, four-cylinder TDI engines which are up to 13 per cent more fuel- saving . This includes two 1.6-litre TDI engines producing 75 PS and 102 PS, plus two 2.0-litre TDI units producing 110 PS and 140 PS. These are quieter, more refined and cost saving , with cleaner Euro5 standard levels of emissions. Other latest features introduced to the new generation Caddy include Volkswagen’s latest seven -speed DSG gearbox and 4MOTION four-wheel drive.
BlueMotion Technology models will now be offered in the van and passenger-carrying models with the 1.6-litre engine, providing the best in economy and low emissions. These use Start/Stop and battery regeneration systems to help deliver carbon dioxide emissions of as low as 129 g/km and an approx fuel usage of up to 57 mpg, offering a potential range of up to 735 miles on one tank of fuel.s
The new generation Caddy range will have ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) factory fitted on every model. Other upgraded safety features include daytime running function for the front lights and auto activation of the hazard lights under emergency braking.
The seven-seat Caddy Maxi Life model will be renamed the Caddy Maxi MPV, and for higher flexibility and loadspace, the 2nd row of seats in this model, and the five -seater Caddy Maxi kombi and window van, will be able to be removed completely rather than simply folded forward as is the case now. As ever, the MPV’s bench seat in the third row is also removable.
Complete information of prices and specifications are expected to be issued next month.
