Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will offer the Caddy Maxi with a choice of one petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol engine has an output of 75kW (102PS or 101bhp). Both the TDI engines are characterised by more power with especially good economy. A 103kW (140PS or 138bhp) 2.0-litre TDI is a new addition to the programme. The proven 1.9-litre TDI with 77kW (105PS or 104bhp) continues to be the entry-level diesel option. It may be optionally combined with the dual clutch gearbox, DSG.

The market introduction of the commercial vehicle versions of the Caddy Maxi is planned for the first quarter of 2008.

The Caddy Maxi, stretched by 47cm to an overall length of 4,873mm, is one of the largest models among the compact vans - and offers in addition very great flexibility. With a wheelbase of 3,002 mm, it boasts a cargo capacity of up to 4.2 cubic metres and 800kg, a trailer load of 1,500kg and a load floor length of up to 2,250mm. And the floor can be extended to over 3 metres through the use of the Vario partition and the folding passenger seat. Optionally, it is possible to equip the Caddy Maxi panel van with a second sliding door as well as a rear hatch in place of wing doors. The load width between the wheel housings is a generous 1,170mm so that a Euro pallet can be loaded lengthwise.
