Volkswagen Commercial has announced prices for its new Caddy range, which arrives in UK showrooms in November.
The entry level 1.6-litre 73hp TDI model comes in at £12,100 excluding VAT while the Caddy Maxi line-up starts at £14,050 excluding VAT for the 1.6-litre 100hp TDI. The Caddy Blue Motion starts with a basic list price of £12,500.
VW has introduced a new range of common rail TDI engines to the Caddy. Two 1.6-litre TDI units developing 73hp and 100hp are joined by a 2.0-litre TDI engine available with 100hp or 138hp..
The 100hp Caddy Blue Motion, employing a stop/start system, has the lowest C02 output of the Caddy line-up at 134g/km.
Volkswagen Commercial UK director Simon Elliott forecast Caddy sales of 12,500 this year with a hike of 10% in 2011 on the back of a full-year contribution from the new model.
“The segment the Caddy is in is up 25% this year but we’re 40% up with Caddy,” he said.
Standard equipment across the new Caddy range includes ESC anti-skid control, Traction Control System, automatic hazard lights under emergency braking, driver’s airbag, speed sensitive power steering, remote central locking and a CD stereo with AUX-in socket.
Elliott claimed: “The new Caddy has 5% more value in terms of specification than the current model but is only 4% more in price.”
The 1.6-litre 100hp engine is expected to be the best seller, accounting for up to 60% of volume.
