For example, a new bed concept has been developed that offers even more variability. Another highlight is the option of watching the stars through the 1.4-square-meter panoramic glass roof before falling asleep.
Table and chairs from the California
Good sleeping comfort on the almost two-meter-long bed is ensured by disc spring elements like those used in the California or Grand California beds.
Cleverly stowed in the rear are the lightweight camping chairs and the camping table from the California. The two practical storage bags can be taken along for loading.
Travel Assist in commercial vehicles for the first time
On the road, the new Caddy offers a total of 19 assistance systems for comfort and safety. These include Travel Assist. For the first time in a Volkswagen commercial vehicle, this enables assisted driving across the entire speed range.
Also new in the Caddy: Trailer Assist, familiar from the Crafter and the T series, for significantly easier reversing with a trailer, or Lane Change Assist and Parking Assist.
All diesel engines with twindosing
The four-cylinder engines in the Caddy are next-generation units; they meet the Euro 6 emissions standards of 2021 and are equipped with particulate filters.
Take the turbodiesel (TDI), for example: For the first time, the new Twindosing system is being used for the 75 hp to 122 hp TDIs: Two SCR catalytic converters and a double AdBlue injection system significantly reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions compared with the predecessor. Prices have not yet been fixed.
