World Premiere: The New Volkswagen Caddy

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has unveiled the 4th generation of its hugely popular Caddy. The 3rd generation model recorded more than 1.5 million sales around the world during its eleven-year production, a success that the latest generation Caddy urban delivery van, and its passenger carrying brother, intends to continue. The Caddy’s drive systems use state-of-the-art technology, with new EU6 engines providing improved efficiency. The Caddy range is powered by new 2.0-litre, four cylinder diesel engines. The performance range includes: 55 kW, 75 kW, and the top-of-the-range engine a 110 kW. Recording the lowest fuel consumption is the Caddy Blue Motion panel van, specially developed for inner-city deliveries. The new Caddy range will also be available with quiet, refined 2.0-litre, four cylinder EU5 diesel engines: 55 kW, 75 kW and 103 kW.

For the first time on Caddy, there is the option of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which is active at speeds of 0-160 km/h with DSG or 30 to 160 km/h with a manual transmission – and uses radar sensors to monitor the distance and relative speed to vehicles in front. When used in conjunction with DSG, the ACC system can also slow the vehicle down, for example in queues or traffic jam situations, to a complete stop.

The new Caddy's design impresses with sharper folds and clearly defined surfaces with stylish clarity. The re-designed front and the distinctively presented rear give the new compact van an unmistakable character – further distinguished by the new look of the front and rear lights. While remaining extremely functional, the high-quality urban delivery van has gained noticeably in presence.

In keeping with the expressive exterior, the vehicle's interior also features accentuated lines and shapes. Striking decorative trims with integrated air vents and a new generation of infotainment equipment underline the new Caddy's modern look.

The new Caddy will be launched in Germany at the end of June. Have a closer look in our gallery.
