Plug-In Hybrid Option Added To Volkswagen Caddy Cargo Line-Up

Plug-In Hybrid Option Added To Volkswagen Caddy Cargo Line-Up

The VW Caddy Cargo range has been expanded to include a plug-in hybrid version for the first time.

Known as the VW Caddy Cargo eHybrid, it will be the most powerful model in the range and is offered in a choice of three trim levels.

The venerable VW SCV (small commercial vehicle) had previously relied on the option of only petrol and turbodiesel options, with no electric variant available to rival the Citroen e-Berlingo and Renault Kangoo E-Tech.

While there will likely be no pure electric version of the VW Caddy Cargo until it is replaced in the next year or so, to fill the void as a greener option in the range, a plug-in hybrid will instead be offered.

Similar in set-up to the PHEV-version of the Ford Transit Connect – with which the Caddy Cargo shares its platform – the VW mates a 19.7kWh battery to the existing 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine option.

Offered in front-wheel drive and with a six-speed DSG transmission, the combination of a battery with the petrol engine generates 148bhp, making the PHEV comfortably the most powerful model in the VW Caddy Cargo range, while torque is rated at 250Nm.

Compared to other variants in the range, the Caddy Cargo eHybrid maintains a generous payload up to 740kg, while retaining an identical load length of 2150mm and up to 3.7m3 of load volume.

The base VW Caddy Cargo eHybrid Commerce trim comes with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, an electric parking brake, anti-theft alarm, autonomous emergency braking front assist, rear parking sensors, and a heat insulating windscreen.

Upgrade to the Commerce Plus and you’ll add ergoComfort seats with manual adjustment, leather multi-function steering wheel, air-conditioning and body-coloured bumpers.

Opt for the flagship Commerce Pro and you’ll get a 10.4-inch navigation system, keyless go, wireless app connect, electric door mirrors, heated front seats, heated windscreen, LED taillights, parking sensors front and rear, and a rear-view camera.
