Frankfurt Motor Show: New Volkswagen Caddy BlueMotion to offer 62.8mpg

The Caddy BlueMotion offers a fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg for the panel van along with emissions of 117g/km. Meanwhile the passenger-carrying version are 61.4mpg and 119g/km.

The new model uses VW’s familiar 102hp 1.6-litre TDI with common rail direct injection along with 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 27mm and efficient engine control.

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.

Equipment features such as hill hold assist, cruise control system, exclusive seat upholstery and air vent surrounds in high-gloss black (passenger version) are all standard.
