A member of the commercial van and pick-up truck models, the Volkswagen Caddy was initially launched in 1980, but it entered the European markets only by 1982. Based on the Volkswagen A-platform, this name actually refers to four differing models of the said family, the Type 14 based on Volkswagen Golf-I, Type 9U based on Skoda Felicia pick-up, Type 9K based on Volkswagen Polo III and Type 2K based on Volkswagen Touran.
One of the latest models of the Volkswagen Caddy, the Caddy Kombi is currently hitting the market in a large way. With twin sliding side doors and with an option of seating seven people, this version with ergonomically designed interiors, comes with an option of four different engines varying from 1.4 litre 75 bhp petrol 1.6 litre 100 bhp petrol, 2.0 litre 70 bhp SDI diesel, and 1.9 TDI 100 bhp . With a length of around 4400 mm, this impressive vehicle with adjustable seats and steering column provides a storage capacity of 2239 litres.
Abundant stowage facility happens to be one of the main advantages of the Volkswagen Caddy Kombi, which makes use of facilities like remote central locking, Electronic Stabilisation programme, satellite navigation, climate control etc to provide its occupants the maximum comfort possible.
An option of three trim levels makes it possible to choose according to the buyers requirements. Safety has been given prime importance with features like ABS, Traction control system (TCS), Engine Braking Control (EBS), and airbags. The whole performance of the vehicle in general is increased due to the six-speed manual gearbox which provides a great sense of economy too in the longer run.
