New caddy ???

[the swan fiend]

Do you intend to have a section of the forum dedicated to the new caddy, Doc?
After all, it’s a completely different van and the mods that are do able on the 2k won’t be relevant to this new van.
I look forward to reading and learning if you do decide to open another arm of the forum.

So, if you knew someone going to the press unveiling of the new Caddy tomorrow, what details are you interested in?
I'll see what I can find out.

Awesome! Personally very interested in knowing about which TGI engine and DSG gearbox it'll be available with, and if it'll be 48v system or not with the TGI.

I'd be interesting in info on any electric powertrains

[Doc]

I'll find out all I can for you guys, I do have some information but that is embargoed until 18:00 GMT.
Don't worry, there will be a section of the forum dedicated to the Caddy5 but I suspect it is going to be 2021 before we will see anyone with one on the road.
I'm in the airport right now, Dusseldorf bound, as soon as I can I will post details. Follow my Instagram @doc_caddy2k for a glimpse into the day.

Someone will be in trouble!!

[Doc]

So much for the embargo on the press package, seems not everyone is as obedient as they should be.

[dan@biali]

Bit of a shame whoever leaked it has ruined it for everyone else sitting patiently on the press pack. Doubt VW care as its still exposure for the new model.

Need to check out that sliding door rail when you see one in person. Its massive, and doesn't look like it will be easy to cover up. Sticks out past the bodywork unlike ours which is recessed. Wonder why they've done that?

For many years, the VW Caddy has been significantly more than a commercial vehicle alone. Over the past decades, the Hanoverian has been sold more than three million times. After many of the high-roof station wagons have now disappeared from the market because their potential private customers have fallen in love with SUVs, Volkswagen remains true to its line and offers the Caddy as a van and car with various bodies and wheelbases. Even in its fifth generation, the Caddy is a loading master, can be used for anything and everyone who doesn't need a large van. The new VW Caddy looks more modern and contemporary, which should be of particular interest to family home users. This applies to the exterior with LED headlights at the front and rear as well as to the large tailgate, which now not only bears the new VW logo in the black glass surface but also the chrome-plated Caddy lettering under the license plate.

The interior is modeled after golf and the rest of the purist and clearly ergonomic. In addition to the animated instruments, there is a control panel on the left for the light functions. In the middle of the dashboard and slightly tilted towards the driver, a touch screen, which can be used to operate and display the most important vehicle functions. Technically, the new VW Caddy is on the road for the first time on the modular transverse modular system of the Volkswagen Group and can use its drives and technologies almost without restrictions. For example, the new VW Caddy offers almost 20 new or improved assistance systems, including distance control or blind spot assistants. The cargo space is bigger than ever; the Caddy Maxi can accommodate up to two euro pallets. For families, the VW Caddy is still available as a seven-seat Caddy Life.

Commercial customers are not even marginally interested in design. All that is important to them is the loading volume, payload, drives and maintenance costs. With the new, particularly economical diesel engines, the VW Caddy should also set the best in the segment, with the nitrogen oxide emissions of the TDI engines being significantly reduced by twindosing. The Caddy engine range comes from the group shelf. Most customers will again choose the two-liter diesel engine, which will produce between 75 and around 150 hp. There is a choice of six-speed manual transmission and double clutch transmission and, for the top models, optional all-wheel drive, which is becoming increasingly popular not only with private customers, but also with commercial users. In addition to the 2.0 TDI, the new 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine from Golf and Co. is available.

It looks much better than it did when it was disguised as a Dacia that’s for sure. Just out of curiosity Doc, how did you manage to get a place today?

Be interested to see if the commercial will have cut outs like a LWB where the windows are of nice and smooth like the current SWB
