The Volkswagen Caddy is already a popular, high quality choice in the small van sector. It offers the usual VW standards of finish and engineering along with a decently-sized load area.

The next van up in VW’s range, the Transporter, is quite a bit bigger and as seems to be the fashion these days, Volkswagen is launching a LWB version of the Caddy to fill this gap.

The VW Caddy Maxi Life should compete head-to-head with Ford’s LWB Transit Connect (not a coincidence, I should think!) and will be offered in both people carrier and panel van versions.

You can see more details here, on the Due Motori website, but it looks like it will be a popular choice with all sorts of buyers – from families to couriers to rental companies.
