Volkswagen – other models: the collective page of Caddy, LT, Crafter, Passat and Golf in commercial bodies, panel-van, flatbed, double-cab and combi versions, 37 to 128 kW, 1.3 to 2.5-litre displacement
This page gathers Volkswagen vehicles the register could not assign to a named Transporter range: alongside the actual Transporter, it includes the Caddy, LT, Crafter and Passat and Golf variants registered as commercial vehicles. Model names often carry German body designations from the registration document: "Kastenwagen" is the closed panel-van body, "Pritschenwagen" the open flatbed, "Doppelkabine" or "Doppelkabiner" the driver's cab with an extra row of seats ahead of the load bed, and "Kombiwagen" the mixed passenger-and-cargo configuration. On the LT and Crafter, the large vans above the Transporter model, numbers such as "28" or "35" denoted the weight class in VW's nomenclature of the time.

The register lists 39 versions here with 37 to 128 kW from four- to six-cylinder engines of 1,285 to 2,461 cm³, unladen weights from 806 to 2,260 kg, lengths from 3,990 to 5,540 mm and widths from 1,520 to 2,140 mm.
This spread reflects how Volkswagen tiered its commercial-vehicle range over the decades: from the compact Golf-based Caddy for trades and delivery services, through the Passat as a versatile estate, to the LT and Crafter for furniture transport, motorhome conversion and commercial fleets, where they compete with the Mercedes Sprinter and Iveco Daily.
When buying used, check corrosion at the strut mounts and sills on the Caddy and Golf derivatives, the condition of the load floor and rear doors and turbocharger mileage on the LT and Crafter, and on double-cab versions the seal of the second seat row against moisture from the load bed; spare parts are widely available through the VW commercial-vehicle network and the independent parts trade.
