VW Caddy – the compact van in panel-van and Maxi form: TDI and Ecofuel power from around 1.9 to 2.0 litres, 77 to 80 kW, 4,400 to 4,900 mm length, 1,570 to 1,783 kg unladen weight
The Caddy is Volkswagen's compact commercial-vehicle line, which from the second generation has been built on the Golf platform toolkit and, alongside the panel van, is also offered in a car-like estate version. Maxi denotes the version extended by an extra wheelbase section with more load space, "Skåp" is the Swedish word for van and indicates registration of these versions in the Swedish-language register, and Ecofuel denotes the natural-gas drivetrain.

The register lists here 5 versions with 77 to 80 kW from four-cylinder engines of 1,896 to 1,984cc displacement, unladen weights from 1,570 to 1,782.5 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,198 to 2,375 kg, lengths from 4,400 to 4,900 mm and widths from 1,794 to 1,920 mm.
The Caddy sits between smaller car-based estates and the larger van, aimed at tradesmen, courier firms and sales representatives looking for a manoeuvrable, economical van with car-like driving manners. The Maxi version with its extended wheelbase increases load volume for customers with greater space needs, without having to move up to a larger van.
When buying a used Caddy, check sills and the load floor for corrosion, the condition of the dual-mass flywheel and timing chain on TDI engines, and, on the Ecofuel version, the tightness of the gas system and the inspection interval of the gas tanks. Parts are readily and affordably available through the regular Volkswagen commercial-vehicle network.
