A group of Volkswagen engineers testing the new Caddy in the Alps ran into an embarrassing problem: running out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
With the test prototype parked helpless on the side of the road, the Volkswagen people were not too pleased to see that our spy photographers had arrived on the scene, snapping shots of the crippled light van. A Touareg quickly came to the rescue with a gallon of petrol and someone in a blue shirt was sent to block our photographer from getting any closer to the car.
Perhaps they were hoping to hide the un-camouflaged interior of the new Caddy, but it's actually already too late for that. Our previous spy photos showed this in full view and we are thus able to tell you the new Caddy will borrow the infotainment system and climate control buttons from the new Golf 7.
We can't say for sure why the Caddy ran out of fuel. But it seems they're putting petrol in the tank. The full engine range for the Caddy will include anything from a 1.2-liter TSI turbo to a powerful 2-liter diesel. Volkswagen should also include a natural gas model, popular with in some European markets. This should be powered by a 110 PS 1.4-liter turbo engine, already offered on the Octavia G-TEC.
