VW’s new special edition Caddy Maxi Van targets city-based business customers

WHILE THE VOLKSWAGEN Caddy van is aimed at business customers, many lateral-thinking over-55s have seen the advantages of a capacious, well-equipped and comfortable load lugger for their daily needs.

The new, limited edition Caddy Urban Edition is based on the popular 92 kW/220Nm TSI220 Caddy Maxi Van model.

No surprises here …

With standard features like rear barn doors, rear park distance control, Forward Collision with City Emergency Braking and Driver Fatigue Detection, the Caddy Maxi Van has already proven itself as the workhorse of choice for countless customers, and the Urban Edition builds on that specification with a unique suite of added features.

Included in the Urban Edition is a 6.3-inch Composition Media infotainment system with App-Connect functionality, 16-inch ‘Bendigo’ alloy wheels, front fog lights with cornering function and H7 headlamps with separate daytime running lights.

 

… but vast carrying space back here

Director for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia, Mr. Ryan Davies, explained the philosophy of the limited-run Caddy van.

“Times are incredibly tough for all businesses right now, but many of them cannot afford to stop. The Caddy Urban Edition takes some of our most popular and practical features and adds them to an already compelling package,” Mr. Davies said.

“We’ve priced these 70 units as a turnkey solution, and to offer businesses great value for money,” he continued.

The Caddy Urban Edition is priced from $36,990 drive-away and limited to 70 units, and available to purchase now throughout Volkswagen Australia’s national dealer network, which remain open during this extremely challenging time.
