Safety kit includes ABS, an immobiliser alarm, cruise control, twin front airbags, eCall emergency system, tyre pressure monitor and a puncture repair kit.
Move to the Commerce Plus trim, and you’ll gain body-coloured bumpers, rear parking sensors, air-conditioning, a driver’s seat armrest, leather trim for the multifunction steering wheel, electric lumbar support for the driver’s seat with ergoComfort padding, and wired smartphone connectivity.
At the top of the range, the Commerce Pro trim adds luxuries such as alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors with a reversing camera, gloss black mirror housings for the heated and electrically adjustable door mirrors, body-coloured door handles and a heated windscreen. There are also LED tail-lights, twin armrests for both front seats, heated front seats, heated screenwash nozzles, keyless entry and starting, a 10-inch colour touchscreen with sat-nav, four speakers, and wireless smartphone connectivity, plus VW’s digital dials.
It might seem odd to offer a van with a pure petrol engine, but the Caddy TSI model works pretty well if you don’t need to drive big miles. It’s affordable, quite efficient and well-suited to short trips.
Of course, the grunt and fuel economy of the diesels will appeal to high-mileage customers, but the arrival of the eHybrid makes the Cargo Caddy an even more interesting proposition. With an electric-only range of around 70 miles, it’s by far the cleanest version.
