Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has opened order books for the new-look dual-purpose Caddy Kombi variant, completing the line-up for its facelifted Caddy compact van.

Priced from £30,055 (excl. VAT), the practical model joins the revamped fifth-generation Cargo and People derivatives, providing a versatile van ready to transport people, tools, or both at once.

Its practical and flexible design allows drivers to easily switch from a five-seat crew carrier to a two-person cargo hauler thanks to the second-row three-seat bench, which folds forward and locks to create a secure partition and expand load space. With the seats folded, the van offers a 775kg payload and can also tow up to 1,500kg (eHybrid models only).

The powertrain line-up spans the same two choices as the Caddy Cargo. These include the 102hp 2.0-litre TDI Diesel that’s paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, plus the 1.5 eHybrid plug-in hybrid that produces 150hp and is married up with a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox.

Both powertrains are offered across Commerce Plus and Commerce Pro grades, in both SWB and Maxi wheelbases.

On the outside, the Kombi variant features an updated front bumper and either 17-inch black steel wheels (standard on the Kombi Commerce Plus) or 17-inch silver alloy wheels (standard on Commerce Pro).

Along with other Caddy models, the new Kombi is available in four new colour options: Reed Green Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, Sunset Red Metallic, and Grey Brown Metallic. This brings the total to 11 different paint choices across solid and metallic finishes.

Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with new seat upholstery, trim finishes and a new 12.9-inch infotainment display. Digital Cockpit Pro is included as standard for the driver, and it’s now even easier to stay connected with wireless charging as standard, two USB-C charging/data ports and one charging port in the dashboard alongside a 12V outlet in the load compartment.

The Caddy Kombi also gets Volkswagen’s enhanced warranty and service plan, the 5+ Promise, at no extra cost. This comprises five services – three services for electric models – three MOTs, a five-year warranty and five years’ roadside assistance.

First customer deliveries for the Caddy Kombi are expected later this month. To celebrate its release, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is also running finance offers for new orders, with prices starting from £425 per month on a Solutions Personal Contract Plan.
