Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will offer the Caddy Maxi with a choice of one petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol engine has an output of 75 kW. Both the TDI engines are characterised by more power with especially good economy. A 103 kW 2.0 litre TDI is a new addition to the programme. The proven 1.9 litre TDI with 77 kW continues to be the entry-level diesel engine. It may be optionally combined with the dual clutch gearbox, DSG.

The market introduction of the commercial vehicle versions of the Caddy Maxi is planned for the first quarter of 2008.

The Caddy Maxi, stretched by 47 cm to an overall length of 4,873 mm, is one of the largest models among the compact vans – and offers great flexibility. With a wheelbase of 3,002 mm, it boasts a cargo capacity of up to 4.2 cubic metres and 800 kg, a trailer load of 1,500 kg and a load floor length of up to 2,250 mm. And the floor can be extended to over 3 metres through the use of the Vario partition and the folding passenger seat. Optionally, it is possible to equip the Caddy Maxi panel van with a second sliding door as well as a rear hatch in place of side-hinged doors. The load width between the wheel housings is a generous 1,170 mm so that a Euro pallet can be loaded lengthwise.
