The new Volkswagen Caddy BlueMotion boasts fuel consumption of 62.8mpg and an 800-mile range.<\/p><\/div>\n

Volkswagen has released details of the latest version of its popular Caddy small van<\/a>, which will make its official debut at the the IAA Show<\/a> in Frankfurt, which opens on September 12.<\/p>\n

The new Caddy boasts official fuel consumption of 4.5 litres per 100km, which equates to 62.8mpg (in Europe, l\/100km is the standard measure of fuel consumption).<\/p>\n

At the heart of the new Caddy BlueMotion is the familiar 1.6-litre TDI with common rail direct injection and 75 kW \/ 102 PS which has a maximum torque of 250 Newton metres. Compared to the already very fuel-efficient Caddy 1.6-litre TDI with BlueMotion Technology, fuel consumption was further reduced by 0.5 litres per 100 km.<\/p>\n

Compared to the Caddy without fuel-saving technology, it is a full 1.1 litres per 100 km better. As a result, the commercial version of the versatile urban delivery vehicle consumes just 4.5 litres per 100 km, which equates to 117 g\/km of CO2<\/sub>. Values for the passenger-carrying version are 4.6 litres and 119 g\/km. Thanks to its 60 litre fuel tank, the Caddy BlueMotion therefore has a theoretical range of over 1,300 km (over 800 miles).<\/p>\n

The vehicle\u2019s low fuel consumption values were made possible by a combination of aerodynamic and engineering measures such as an engine stop-start function, low rolling resistance tyres, recovery of braking energy (battery regeneration), ride height lowered by 27 mm and efficient engine control.<\/p>\n

A Caddy BlueMotion with a short wheelbase is available in four equipment versions: as a panel van and kombi as well as in passenger-carrying versions.\u00a0Equipment features such as standard hill hold assist, cruise control system, exclusive seat upholstery and air vent surrounds in high-gloss black (passenger version) are all standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
