Volkswagen Caddy has become much more than a practical but unattractive mini van. It is not only for those who run a business and require carrying of load but it targets those buyers who are looking for a comfortable people carrier and a perfect spacious family use vehicle. The improved New Volkswagen Caddy has a huge range of infotainment as well as flexible interior that can be rearranged to have what you want the van to deliver.
If seating is your concern then you can choose from short to long wheel base trims. The exterior look is sharp enough to have people turn their heads to see this amazing road runner.
Caddy offers some very good choices in engines. The company offers engine for both the diesel as well as petrol range.
Diesel Range: The entry level engine is of 74bhp, not an impressive one takes a lot of energy to reach from 0-62mph. That is the reason why most of the people go for 101bhp unit. This engine responds quite well and you feel less labor to make the vehicle accelerate from zero. The engine noise is there at low speeds but when it comes into motion, every thing settles down and you get a smooth drive.
Then moving up in the diesel range is a 148bhp which obviously produce a much more power but getting a satisfactory performance from the 101bhp, many do not opt for this one.
Petrol Range: On the petrol side, there are 1.0-Litre, 1.2-Litre and 1.4-litre engines that give a little less but reasonable performance for a mini van. Both petrol and diesel engines are Euro 6, which is an environmental friendly technology with less emission. If you want more economy, then there is also the BlueMotion technology which is best for fuel economy and even much better environment.
The interior of this mini van is loveable. There is an option for two to seven seating, the higher the trim level the longer wheel base it provides and so the space in the interior increases. The driver seat is firm and holds the driver with good strength in position and comfortable ride with all the controls in range. The interior is hard to find fault and there is no problem for head and leg room. The loading capacity is very good and it increases by folding the seats, just the low roof interferes with the loading but still you have to give it a relief as it is a mini van after all.
Unlike most of the mini vans in the class, Caddy is much more advanced in case of technology. Every Caddy comes with BlueMotion Technology, and then there is start stop feature in the touch screen. Hill Hold Assist, regenerative braking, low rolling resistance tyres, front assist with city emergency braking and automatic post collision braking system; all these features are standard.
With these standard features, there are optional choices which you can avail for personalizing the van. They include park assist, fatigue detection, light assist and reversing camera. What else a mini van owner wants; with this much bulk of driving and passenger safety technology VW has made Caddy an attractive choice for the buyer.
