2026 VW Caddy Facelift - Ausfahrt TV News

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is giving the Caddy a facelift for the 2026 model year. If I were a cynic, I'd say they've given the Caddy a makeover, because at first glance, the redesigned front end, new paint finishes, and new alloy wheels are particularly noticeable. The most striking feature in the cockpit is the freestanding 12.9-inch infotainment display. The new user interface uses customizable touch controls to provide quick access to frequently used functions. Also new is the now standard Digital Cockpit Pro, which is included regardless of the chosen trim level. Smartphones can now be charged wirelessly via an inductive charging pad with up to 25 watts. In addition, the USB-C ports have been significantly upgraded. Up to 60 watts of charging power per port are now available in the front, so even high-performance tablets or laptops can be charged on the go. Think you don't need that? In a family van, you definitely need this; I speak from experience, after all, our VW Caddy is already 14 years old. The redesigned climate control system also makes operation easier. The touch sliders below the central display are now backlit, making them much easier to see even in the dark. Amazing, right? Personally, I would have preferred the simple climate control system from before, but some wishes just don't come true. However, there's another practical change regarding the power supply: The previously optional 12-volt socket has been replaced by a standard USB-C port with up to 45 watts of charging power. I hope the 12-volt socket will still be available as an option, as we used it quite frequently, whether for a power adapter or the cooler. Depending on the trim level, new seat covers and decorative elements are intended to create a more premium feel. The passenger car and Flexible versions also receive grab handles on the B-pillars and coat hooks for rear passengers. Volkswagen continues to offer the Caddy with a wide range of powertrains. In addition to gasoline and diesel engines, the plug-in hybrid remains available. Those who want to use the Caddy as a compact camper will still find the Caddy California in the lineup. With a vehicle length of 4.50 meters (or 4.85 meters for the Maxi version), it combines everyday practicality with camping functionality. How much does the new Volkswagen Caddy cost? The passenger car version of the Caddy starts at €34,200.60 (gross) for the short wheelbase. The longer Caddy Maxi starts at €37,562.35 (gross). Yes, yes, these are list prices; there's still room for negotiation, I know. But there are certainly plenty of optional extras available as well. For commercial use, the Caddy Cargo starts at €26,480 net, or €31,511.20 gross. The Maxi version starts at €28,615 net, or €34,051.85 gross. At launch, Volkswagen is also offering the special edition Caddy Generation. Based on the Life trim level, it includes design, winter, and driver assistance packages, roof rails, and a reversing camera. We'll likely find out the price tomorrow. ... #vw #vwcaddy #caddy Advertisement: See for yourself how much your dream car costs per month on a lease. I highly recommend Leasingmarkt.
