A strong built and driver’s comfort embody this vehicle

Looking for a smart medium sized van? Volkswagen Caddy can be an excellent choice. Volkswagen is always considered as a reliable and loyal brand that gave the market some very good road runners that have a lasting impression on the owners.

Caddy is built on the notion to provide the customer not only a load lifter, but a luxurious van which the owner feels proud to own. Besides some negative aspects as no high roof option and compressed passenger seats, this van is a treat to drive.

Engine Options:

Volkswagen Caddy offers 6 engine types on the whole. Three are diesel engine types while other three are petrol. In the diesel engine range 2.0 four-cylinder engine is at the base of all. The starting bhp is 74bhp, with 101bhp and 148bhp versions also available.

A Caddy BlueMotion Eco version that gives 101bhp with a significant 114g/km instead of normal emission which reaches 138g/km is and environment-friendly version of the mini van. In the Petrol range there are engines with output of 83bhp, 101bhp and 124bhp.

Drive Quality:

The starter 74bhp diesel takes effort and time in reaching 62mpg and the labor engine is putting in can be felt clearly. For this reason most of the buyers prefer the 101bhp version as it takes an impressive 9.2s to reach 62mpg which contends a commercial vehicle. For this performance mostly a buyer goes for 101bhp instead of 148bhp which is the topper in the range.

The Caddy Van gives a very compact feel on the road with a good steering grip, a downy gear change and light pedal handling. The performance on the edges and sharp turns is very impressive as the car shows a well behaved on-road and off-road capability. Its suspension handles bumps and hurdles successfully making the ride comfortable for the driver and the rider as well.

Interior and Load Capacity:

The interior of the van is perfect with simplicity and perfection a Volkswagen vehicle usually shows. The interior design is clear and fuss free which is a trademark of this brand. Caddy has two versions, in which one is a passenger van version while the other is as a commercial use vehicle.

The vehicle does not offer a high roof option so the load volume capacity becomes less. With different wheelbase options in standard and maxi models, the load carrying becomes different with more capacity in the Caddy Maxi. The doors slide to 90 degrees but they can swing out to 180 degrees and give a better access.

Reliability and Safety:

Volkswagen Caddy comes well equipped with safety features. Driver and passenger air bags come as standard, but curtain and side airbags can also be added. There is a Front Assist Technology that monitors the distance to an obstacle and issue an audible alarm if the situation becomes serious. The system also initiates emergency braking if a collision can be a result.

In addition to these the buyer can also install adaptive cruise control, light assist and driver alert that indicate a change in the driving style which indicates tiredness and can issue an alarm.
