The Australian showroom arrival of the all-new fifth-generation Volkswagen Caddy light commercial vehicle is expected in July.
Ranging from commercial vans to people movers, the Caddy 5 will solely be available in Australia with an all-new Euro-6 diesel engine.
Built on the modular MQB platform, the Caddy 5 debuts a refreshed appearance, new metallic paint finishes and 17 driver-assistance systems available in total, including four new to the segment.
The new Caddy is available in two wheelbases: “SWB” and “Maxi”. SWB variants have an overall vehicle exterior length that measures 4500mm, an increase of 92mm over the previous model. The wheelbase has grown to 2,755mm and the cargo space length to 1,797.
Caddy Maxi variants measure a 2970mm wheelbase and 4,853mm exterior length.
The range begins with the work-focussed Caddy Cargo and Caddy Cargo Maxi, which will be available with either a 75kW/280Nm diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission or a 90kW/320Nm diesel engine with 7-speed DSG.
Shifting to the people-mover range, the Caddy and Caddy Life will be available with a 90kW/320Nm diesel engine with a 7-speed DSG transmission.
A Caddy California camper will join the Australian line-up, powered by a 90kW/320Nm diesel engine with a 7-speed DSG transmission.
The new Caddy will come with a 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, capped-priced servicing every calendar year, optional three and five-year pre-paid service packs and the option to purchase under the Volkswagen Choice guaranteed future value program.
