Volkswagen Caddy Maxi (2015)

The Caddy Maxi stretched Volkswagen’s small van formula into a more useful long-wheelbase package. It appealed to trades, couriers and families needing compact external dimensions with greater cargo volume than the standard Caddy.

Its importance is practical rather than glamorous. The Caddy Maxi reflects Volkswagen’s skill at turning passenger-car platforms and diesel drivetrains into efficient commercial vehicles, especially for urban work where manoeuvrability and running costs matter.
