New VW Caddy available in two engine options

Home Motoring New VW Caddy available in two engine options

The new-generation Volkswagen Caddy has arrived in Namibian and the carmaker has released pricing for the new range, which is the first to be built around the MQB architecture that’s now commonplace across the VW line-up.

According to local sales teams the VW Caddy will retail for between N$400 000 and N$500 000 depending on the selected derivative and any extras. 

The new model will be sold in three basic flavours: Caddy Cargo, Caddy Kombi and Caddy, with each also being available in a long-wheelbase Maxi variant.

The Caddy Cargo panel van is the cheapest passenger model with the range-topping variant, which is simply called ‘Caddy’, requires a stretch to about N$500 000. 

VWSA hasn’t released detailed specifications as yet, but it is known that the Cargo and Kombi models ship with black bumpers and steel wheels and given the price gap between them and the range-topper, cabin specs will more than likely stick to the basics.

The Caddy model comes with full colour coding as well as new LED headlights and black roof rails, and the model is optionally available with a large panoramic sunroof and 16-inch Wien alloy wheels.

Buyers can choose from 12 exterior paint colours, including five brand new hues.

The Volkswagen Caddy is available with two engine options, these being a 1.6-litre MPI normally aspirated petrol unit, offering 81kW and 152Nm, and a 2.0-litre TDI turbodiesel that’s good for 81kW and 300Nm. Both are paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

Driver assistance features include cruise control, reverse camera and trailer manoeuvring.

As for loading volume, the Caddy Cargo boasts a load compartment volume of 3.1 cubic metres and the Maxi version offers 3.7 cubic metres. The load compartment of this panel van variant includes up to six lashing rings and there’s a split tailgate with an opening angle of 180 degrees.

Keep in mind that the warranty and service plan situation differs depending on the model. The Cargo and Kombi models are sold with a two-year, unlimited kilometre warranty while the Caddy boasts the usual three-year/120 000km warranty. Service intervals are pegged at 15 000km.
