Volkswagen Caddy

Volkswagen Caddy is a compact van for tradespeople, small businesses, and anyone who needs a boxy load area without moving up to a full-size commercial vehicle. By our assessment, its strength is exactly that mix of city-friendly size and practical cargo space, plus the option of a passenger layout in some versions. The downside is the usual one for vans of this type: it is honest, useful, and not especially charming, with ride comfort and refinement sitting behind the more car-like hatchback alternatives. In practice, it is the sort of vehicle you notice by how it carries awkward stuff, not by how it flatters the driver. Against rivals like the Ford Transit Connect or Citroën Berlingo, the Caddy is one of the better-known names in the small-van class, and that reputation is built on everyday utility rather than drama. The cabin is work-focused, and that is part of the point.
