PRICES ANNOUNCED FOR CADDY VAN AND MPVS AHEAD OF NOVEMBER LAUNCH


Prices for the new Caddy and Caddy Maxi have been announced. They start at £12,100 excluding VAT for the 1.6-litre 75 PS TDI Caddy van while the Caddy Maxi starts at £14,050 excluding VAT for the entry-level model equipped with a 1.6-litre 102 PS TDI engine.

Featuring fresh styling and a range of new engines as well as upgraded materials and a new choice of comfort, convenience and safety options, the new Caddy and Caddy Maxi promise to be the most economical and refined iterations of the popular range yet.

Standard equipment across the Caddy range includes Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), ABS Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control System (TCS), automatic hazard lights activation under emergency braking, a driver’s airbag, speed sensitive power steering, remote central locking and a CD stereo with
AUX-in socket.

Adopting the new Volkswagen family look with a mix of clean, horizontal lines that already features on the Transporter, the new Caddy range represents strong value for money over the outgoing models with five versions available from launch. These comprise the new Caddy C20 and C20+ (enhanced payload) vans, the Caddy Maxi van, the Caddy Maxi window van and the Caddy Maxi MPV – formerly known as the Life.

A new range of refined and efficient common rail TDI engines further underline the advances made in the new Caddy. A pair of 1.6-litre TDI engines developing 75 PS or 102 PS is joined by a 2.0-litre TDI engine offered in 110 PS and 140 PS guises.

There will be two Caddy BlueMotion Technology models. These use a stop/start system and automatic battery regeneration during braking, aerodynamic wheel arch spoilers, low rolling resistance tyres and also have hill hold assist and cruise control as standard. The 102 PS model has the lowest CO2 figure of the range at 134 g/km, with a combined cycle figure of 55.4 mpg, to give a potential range of up to 735 miles.

For the first time the Caddy can be specified with the latest generation seven-speed DSG gearbox as well as 4MOTION four-wheel drive on selected models.

Ordering for the new vehicles will begin on 27 September with first customer deliveries in November.

New VW Caddy TDI

New VW Caddy TDI
The first images and details of the new generation Caddy and Caddy Maxi range have been released ahead of the vehicle’s world debut at this September’s IAA Hanover Commercial Vehicle show and arrival in UK Volkswagen Van Centres in November.

After six years and sales of nearly 800,000 units of the outgoing model, the new generation Caddy range promises to be more economical to run, with more safety features, enhanced quality and refinement, plus improved environmental credentials. These improvements aim to continue the Caddy’s success as one of Volkswagen’s best-selling models around the world – even as far away as Australia.

Visually, the new generation models are refreshed with the latest frontal styling found across all new Volkswagens, such as the latest Polo and Transporter. There are also new rear light clusters, plus roof rails available for the first time, and the option 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 style.

Under 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-efficient. 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 economical, with cleaner Euro5 standard levels of emissions. Other new 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 available in the van and passenger-carrying models with the 1.6-litre engine, offering the ultimate 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 average fuel consumption of up to 57 mpg, giving a potential range of up to 735 miles on one tank of fuel.

The new generation Caddy range will have ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) standard on every model. Other new safety features include daytime running function for the headlights and automatic activation of the hazard lights under emergency braking.

The seven-seat Caddy Maxi Life model will be renamed the Caddy Maxi MPV, and for greater flexibility and loadspace, the second 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.

Full details of prices and specifications are expected to be released next month.
