Volkswagen releases limited-run Caddy Urban Edition
VOLKSWAGEN Australia has released a special version of its Caddy small van called the Urban Edition, with local availability capped at just 70 units.
Priced from $35,540 plus on-road costs, the Urban Edition is based on the Maxi Van TSI220 and features the same 93kW/220Nm turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
As in the Maxi Van, power is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission while claimed fuel economy sits at 6.0 litres per 100km on the combined cycle.
Targeted specifically at city-based business customers, the Urban Edition adds a 6.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with App-Connect functionality, 16-inch 'Bendigo' alloy wheels, front foglights with cornering function and H7 headlamps with separate daytime running lights to the Maxi Van’s already standard rear barn doors, rear park distance control, forward collision with city emergency braking and driver fatigue detection.
According to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia director Ryan Davies, the Caddy Urban Edition has been priced as a turnkey solution and to “offer businesses better value for money”.
“Times are incredibly tough for all businesses right now, but many of them cannot afford to stop,” he said.
“The Caddy Urban Edition takes some of our most popular and practical features and adds them to an already compelling package.”
Just two colours are being offered on the Urban Edition – Pure Grey and Candy White – with the driveway pricing pegged at $36,990.
