VW – other light commercial models: the collective page from Caddy, LT, Crafter, T6 and Amarok to the ID. Buzz Cargo and commercially registered cars such as the Passat and Up!, three- to six-cylinder engines from 31 to 128 kW
This collective page lists Volkswagen commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range, from the compact Caddy through the T6 Transporter range and its larger sister model, the LT/Crafter, to the Amarok pickup and the electric ID. Buzz Cargo built since 2022; alongside these sit individual passenger-car models such as the Passat, Jetta and Up!, registered commercially as light commercial vehicles.

The register lists 35 versions here with 31 to 128 kW from three- to six-cylinder engines of 999 to 2,967 cm³ displacement. Kerb weights range from 827 to 2,510 kg, gross vehicle weight from 1,320 to 3,800 kg, lengths from 3,600 to 7,140 mm, and widths from 1,650 to 2,180 mm.
Spanning everything from a compact passenger car to the long-wheelbase Crafter, the page covers practically the whole VW commercial vehicle programme, used in trades, courier and parcel services and motorhome conversion, competing with the corresponding models from Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Fiat.
Buying used, on the Caddy and T6 check for rust on the sliding door tracks and underbody, on the LT and Crafter check the engine and dual-mass flywheel condition, and on the Amarok the four-wheel-drive system and bed liner. On the ID. Buzz Cargo check battery condition and charge cycle count. Parts for all ranges are well supplied through the regular VW commercial vehicle network.
