Compact Size Panel Van Faces Competition from some very Competitive Rivals
No
high roof model is present in the line-up and the seat for passengers is not
spacious. Compact size panel van faces competition from some very competitive
rivals. Transit Connect and Mercedes Citan are to name a few of the rivals. The
present generation of Caddy was launched in 2015 and excelled from previous
generation models with its tech specs.
Otherwise
no big difference between the two Caddy vans. The infotainment system and
safety kit have been improved in particular. It is quite capable to do its job
and also make your job easy by offering comfort and aides. VW
Caddy Used engines for sale are cheap but good
enough to be installed as a replacement engine.
You
can choose from different body styles and wheelbase options. Caddy in window
van style, in five or seven seat style and panel van configuration, can serve
your needs. Furthermore, you can choose from diesel and petrol units. All these
units comply with Euro 6 standards. These engines offer a good fuel average as
well.
For
commercial van drivers and owners, fuel bill is very important. The diesel
engine of 2.0 litre TDI comes in the power variants of 74 bhp, 101 bhp and 148
bhp. This diesel engine range provides you necessary variety for different
types of work needs. Long wheelbase models surely need bigger units to pull the
van efficiently.
Again only powerful petrol units can be paired with auto transmissions
Base
level diesel engine Caddy comes only with a manual gearbox option whereas the
other two can be paired with optional dual clutch auto speed transmissions.
There are two petrol engines for the vehicle 1.0 litre and 1.4 litres. Again
only a powerful petrol unit can be paired with auto transmissions and base
level petrol engine comes only with a manual gearbox.
Volkswagen
has kept things quite simple for buyers of Caddy. There are three trim packages
available to the buyers of Caddy. Base level offers a decent level of kit,
which includes a sliding door on one side, city emergency braking, five inches
touchscreen to control DAB radio, electrically controlled wing mirrors and
windows and a CD player.
The
Start line trim package has basic features and when you move to Trend line, the
second trim package you get more specs. For the exterior, you get matching
colour bumpers to make it looks attractive. 1.4
litre Volkswagen Caddy replacement engines are
preferred for carrying heavy loads.
Climate
control is very important to keep the cabin cool. Cruise control and driver seat
adjustment is also part of the package. Again these specs seem enough for a van
but there is another option for the Highline package. It comes with a Discover
Media Navigation system to help you find destinations.
Fog
lamps, auto headlamps and alloy wheels are additional features for buyers of
Caddy with this top of the range package. The three different trim packages
offer you a different level of convenience. You can choose any of these
according to your needs and the depth of the pocket.
A selective catalytic reduction system is also present
There
is another option present to improve efficiency, called Blue-motion. It will
give you low resistance tyres, powers regenerative braking and stop/start
technology. It saves fuel and reduces carbon emissions from Caddy. You will
find it very much similar to the previous Caddy because it has been produced
from the same platform.
The
use of gearbox from VW cars and technology inclusion has made it is a very good
option. A selective catalytic reduction system is also present in Caddy to curb
carbon emission further. All these efforts to keep this commercial vehicle
greener are appreciated by the buyers.
With
a diesel engine, Caddy can cover above 61 mpg and a petrol engine Caddy can
return above 53 mpg. For a greener Caddy
performer, again you can choose the Blue-motion package. It will
provide you aerodynamics and other aides to increase fuel average, which have
already been told.
Features
of Blue Motion pack reduce carbon emission on mix cycle to 104 g/km and fuel
average reaches to incredible 70 mpg. Thus it becomes a splendid compact van to
compete with the likes of Transit Connect.
The maximum load space you get is 4.2 cubic meter
Caddy
is available in two wheelbase standard and long called Maxi. If you need bigger
space and to carry passengers or goods then Maxi will be the choice. Otherwise,
a standard wheelbase provides you with enough space.
The
maximum load space you get is 4.2 cubic meters and the standard space is 3.2
cubic meters. For urban delivery, this van has tremendous capabilities and its
compact size is one of them. The maximum payload capacity is 875 kg but with no
roof variation, this van does not offer the best of cargo rooms.
Even with some limitations, this van will impress most buyers. Access to the load area is through the side as well as from the rear side so you feel it easy to load and unload. Volkswagen has kept practicality as a priority so that you can do your work without any hardship.
