These events will offer customers the opportunity to see the new models in the metal and take them out for a pre-booked test drive.
The fourth-generation of the Caddy Panel van is available in three trim levels – Startline, Trendline and Highline – and with short or Maxi wheelbases. It features new technology, a raft of comfort, convenience and safety innovations as well as the introduction of a new Euro 6 engine.
The Caddy remains the second best-selling model in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ range and is supplied with an array of standard equipment, including electric windows and heated and electrically adjustable wing mirrors, a five-inch touchscreen Composition Colour radio system with DAB+ and Bluetooth capability. A new Automatic Post-Collision Braking system and a seatbelt reminder is included, and owners can also opt for Park Assist and a rear-view camera, which help to reduce damage to vehicles when parking, as well as High Beam Assist and Driver Alert systems to enhance safety.
Some of the Euro 5 engine Caddy models can be specified with BlueMotion Technology modifications (Start/Stop system and battery regeneration) fitted to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. A standalone BlueMotion variant also joins the range: with a 2.0-litre Euro 6 102 PS engine and five-speed manual gearbox, it can return up to 65.7 mpg and CO2 emissions of 114 g/km.
The sixth-generation Transporter also introduces a host of new design and engineering features, along with new assistance, safety, convenience and comfort systems.
Featuring cleaner, more efficient engines, the Transporter is available with a range of four 2.0-litre TDI Euro5 engines with outputs of 84 PS, 102 PS, 140 PS and 180 PS (Highline only) and a 2.0-litre TDI Euro 6 unit that develops 102 PS. All models benefit from Volkswagen’s BlueMotion Technology modifications as standard. These include low rolling resistance tyres, regenerative braking and Start/Stop systems to reduce fuel consumption, meaning the new Transporter is cleaner and more efficient than the outgoing model.
In keeping with Transporter tradition, the new T6 model offers a range of body options and gross vehicle weights to suit the needs of all operators and drivers. In addition to three roof height options – standard (1,410 mm), medium (1,635 mm) and high (1,940 mm) – the new Transporter is available with four gross vehicle weights (ranging from 2,600 kg to 3,200 kg) along with short and long wheelbase options.
