Volkswagen have released their latest line of Caddy van models in Caddy Cargo. First released in Europe in late 2020 and released in the UK in early 2021, this new Caddy van adds strong competition to the recent updates in the small van sector: Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Vauxhall Combo. All three of which feature in the Top 10 models of new vans registered so far this year. The new model has received good response from the market, with WhatCar? awarding the model Best technology Advance title 2021.

A team of expert judges concluded Caddy is “one of the smartest vehicles on the road” and was selected ahead of its rivals for its connectivity with the integrated eSIM and We Connect app. The Caddy was also recommended for its array of active safety systems and the introduction of automatic breakdown calls and anti-theft alerts.
