Street Stance and Workman’s Style

The Caddy Compact Van keeps Volkswagen’s pragmatic design language but with a tidy, modern face that feels less utilitarian than a decade ago and more like a small commercial car than an old-school box on wheels. Its compact footprint — roughly 4,500 to 4,853 mm depending on the wheelbase — makes it easy to park in tight city streets while the squared-off rear still screams practicality. Visual cues are conservative rather than flashy, which suits buyers who want a professional, low-drama presence on the road.

Cab That Works

Inside, the Caddy’s cabin is focused on durability and logic: hard-wearing plastics where it matters, sensible switches and a driving position that prioritises visibility and comfort for long shifts. Storage cubbies, cupholders and an intuitive dash layout keep small tools and paperwork within reach, and the two-seat cargo spec keeps things uncluttered for tradespeople. Materials and fit feel closer to passenger-car standards than to bargain-basement vans, so daily use doesn’t feel like punishment.

Load It Up

The Caddy’s cargo area is where it earns its money: maximum load volume ranges from about 3,100 to 3,700 litres depending on the model, with payload capacities approaching the 700–760 kg band on the stronger specs, which covers a wide range of trade needs. That capacity swallows building materials, larger pieces of furniture or a week’s worth of deliveries without constant trips back to the depot. Practical touches such as sliding side doors, multiple tie-down points and a low load sill make loading and unloading faster and safer in real-world work cycles.

Not Just a Mule

Under the hood the Caddy offers a spread of engines to match how the van will be used, from a 116 hp 1.5 TSI petrol through 102–122 hp 2.0 TDI diesels up to a peppier 150 hp 1.5 TSI eHybrid plug-in, and there are manual and dual‑clutch automatic options plus front- and some all‑wheel drive variants. On the road the setup favours comfort and predictability: steering is light at low speeds for urban manoeuvres yet composed on the motorway, and the diesel choices provide stronger pulling power under load. The plug‑in hybrid adds electric drive for city trips, while the diesels remain the sensible choice for sustained motorway or heavily laden work.

Fuel Bills and Electric Short Trips

Real-world consumption depends on engine and duty cycle: petrols are quoted around 6.5–6.8 L/100 km, diesels roughly 5.3–5.6 L/100 km, and the plug‑in hybrid can report a combined figure as low as 0.5 L/100 km when regularly charged, thanks to an electric range of about 117–120 km and a 19.7 kWh battery. For high-mileage users the diesel trims deliver the lowest per‑kilometre fuel cost and consistent range, while the eHybrid is ideal for urban fleets or tradespeople who can plug in overnight and do most daily runs on electric power. The Caddy’s roughly 50 L fuel tank keeps range practical for mixed use without constant refuelling stops.

Tech That Keeps the Day Moving

Infotainment and safety tech follow VW’s familiar formula: touchscreen systems with smartphone mirroring, clear operator menus and a useful suite of driver aids such as lane assist, adaptive cruise and parking sensors that reduce fatigue on long shifts. The systems aren’t overcomplicated, which suits commercial users who need reliability and quick access rather than flashy graphics. Optional extras give fleet managers choice on connected services and assistance packs to suit the intensity of daily operations.

Who Should Sign the Order?

The Caddy Compact Van targets small businesses, contractors and urban delivery operators who need a compact footprint without sacrificing genuine load capacity and payload — essentially anyone needing a versatile, work-ready van that drives closer to a car than a truck. Choose the petrol for lower purchase cost and mixed urban/motorway use, diesel for long-distance or heavy-load efficiency, and the plug‑in hybrid if most work is local and charging is available. With pragmatic design, useful cargo space up to 3,700 litres and flexible driveline choices, it’s a sensible pick for fleets and sole traders who value reliability and low operating fuss.
