Caddy unveiled ahead of show debut

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.
