Caddy unveiled ahead of show debut
publication date: Jul 23, 2010
The first images and details of the new generation
Caddy and Caddy Maxi range have been released ahead of the vehicles'
world debut at September’s IAA Hanover Commercial Vehicle show and
arrival in UK Volkswagen Van Centres.
|  | | After six years and sales of nearly 800,000 units of the outgoing model,
the new generation Caddy range in November promises to be more economical to run,
with more safety features, enhanced quality and refinement, plus
improved environmental credentials. Visually, the new generation models are refreshed with the latest
frontal styling found across all new Volkswagens, such as the latest
Polo and Transporter. | | ● In June, new registrations rose for all segments of
commercial vehicles, resulting in an overall 13.2% increase in the EU,
with 166,929 new registrations in total. Over the first half-year, the
market expanded by 4.3%, mainly lifted by the demand for vans (+8.0%).
In total, 887,862 new commercial vehicles were recorded six months into
the year. | There are also new rear light clusters, plus roof
rails available for the first time, and the option of cornering lights.
It is a similar story inside, where new instruments, steering wheels
and audio/navigation systems plus the option of Bluetooth connectivity
enhance the Caddy range with more quality and style.
Under the bonnet there is a completely new range of four of Volkswagen’s
latest common rail, four-cylinder TDI engines which are up to 13 per
cent more fuel-efficient and BlueMotion fuel saving technology is
applied.
More details will come out later this year. | | | |
