The car is equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine, whose power is equal to 122 horsepower. A 116 petrol turbo engine 1.5 will also be available.Transmissions options include a six-speed manual and DSG.

Design-wise, the Caddy van gets new LED headlights framing a thin upper grille with a new company logo in the middle.There is also an enlarged lower grille, occupying most of the modified front bumper.

Thanks to the longer wheelbase, shorter rear overhang, enlarged wheel arches and aggressive bumper shape, the utilitarian car looks more athletic.Moreover, in its dimensions, the model will surpass its predecessor. It measures 4501 mm in length, an increase of 93 mm than its predecessor.The MQB platform also has a positive effect on the wheelbase, which stretched 73 mm to 2755 mm.The Cargo version, which measures 1273 mm in length, also benefits from this.

Caddy will be equipped with a wide range of driver assistance systems, among which there will be assistants not previously used on cars of this class.

Unfortunately, the company has so far refused to disclose the preliminary cost of the car in the market. Volkswagen will begin selling the Caddy van in the European market from October this year.
