Volkswagen Caddy Goes to the UK, Finance Offers Announced

The new Volkswagen Caddy and Caddy Maxi panel or window vans aren’t scheduled to arrive in UK showrooms until next month, but Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has already announced it will make some finance offers available for these models until December 31, 2010.

Finance offers start from GBP199 a month (plus VAT and initial rental) for a new Caddy 1.6-litre TDI 75 PS BlueMotion Technology with low emissions of 139 g/km of CO2 and combined fuel economy of 53.3 mpg (4.41 l/100km).

On the other hand, rates for the larger Caddy Maxi start from GBP209 a month (plus VAT and initial rental). In addition, Volkswagen offers payment options over 12 to 48 months, with only a minimum deposit of one month’s rental in advance.

The BlueMotion Technology models, now available in both the Caddy and Caddy Maxi, come with up to 11 percent better fuel economy and 15 g/km lower emissions than the previous models.

In addition to low rolling resistance tires, aerodynamic enhancements and revised gearing, the second generation BlueMotion Technology models are also equipped with a Stop/Start system and automatic battery regeneration during braking.

Additional specification includes hill start assist and cruise control as standard and, like other models in the range, benefit from a more refined and efficient 1.6-litre common rail TDI engine.

“The best small van has just got even better. Not only does the Caddy look better, it now costs less to run with more fuel efficient engines and outstanding residual values. Our new BlueMotion Technology models are the perfect example of this,” said David George, Head of Marketing, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

According to Volkswagen, the new Caddy range is now available to order, with prices starting from GBP12,100, excluding VAT.
