The first Volkswagen Caddy appeared in 1982 in Yugoslavia, in the city of Sarajevo. When it was created, the usual technique for that time was used: a passenger car was taken as the basis, the base was slightly lengthened, the rear suspension was strengthened, and instead of the rear part, a cargo compartment was made. Initially, this car was created as a cargo van, its interior was not adapted for passenger transportation. Caddy was made on the first generation Golf platform, and in its appearance it borrowed many features from the Polo. The release of the first generation Volkswagen Caddy continued until 1992.
In 1995, the second generation of this car went on sale. The principle of its creation has been preserved. The engine was installed diesel, and of the options - only the most necessary. The car had to be inexpensive and affordable. Volkswagen Caddy was popular and in high demand not only in Europe but also in Russia. And this is not surprising.
New Volkswagen Caddy. Technicalspecifications
In 2000, a real revolution took place in the market for cargo and passenger vans. Well-known companies in the automotive industry presented new Volkswagen models, which were intended not only for freight transport, but also for passenger traffic. Following the trends of the modern market, the new Volkswagen Caddy on the chassis of the fifth Golf will soon go on sale.
The Caddy family of new vehicles is a new generation of high-tech, versatile vehicles. The cargo compartment of this car is no longer separated from the driver's cab, since the body has become one (like a minivan). At the same time, the Volkswagen Caddy has slightly increased in size. This vehicle can carry up to 750 kg of cargo in the cargo hold and about 700 kg on a trailer without brakes or 1,200-1,500 tons on a trailer with brakes.
Volkswagen Caddy is available in two versions - passenger Kombi and commercial Kasten. In both versions, it is proposed to install four different engines: gasoline with a volume of 1.6 and 1.4 liters and two diesel engines with a volume of 1.9 (turbocharged) and 2 liters. All models are fitted with a manual transmission.
Each Volkswagen Caddy is equipped with passive and active safety systems (traction control, ABS, braking control system). As an additional option, you can order an anti-skid electronic ESP system.
Volkswagen Caddy is a modern car for cargo delivery and business trips. The floor of the cargo compartment is made of cast iron. It's significantincreases its reliability and durability, and also protects well from possible damage.
Volkswagen Caddy's dashboard stands out for its quality and functionality. Owners of cars with gasoline engines will be able to find a brake pad wear indicator on it. The body is partially galvanized, integral. Corrosion penetration is guaranteed for twelve years.
