Volkswagen adds eHybrid variants to Multivan and Caddy Cargo line-ups
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is expanding its line-up of plug-in hybrid van options available in the UK, with the introduction of the Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION and the Caddy Cargo eHybrid.
Both new models are available to order through a UK Van Centre from today. Prices for the capable and versatile Caddy Cargo eHybrid start at £28,435.001, with the spacious and flexible Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION available from £45,465.001.
Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION
The new Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION has an innovative all-wheel drive system, with the electric motor on the rear axle working in tandem with the engine which powers the front axle.
Customers have a choice of two trim levels – Life and Style – and two vehicle lengths (Standard and Long Wheelbase), with the new 1.5 TSI 245PS 6-speed DSG 4MOTION powertrain. Featuring a much larger 19.7kWh lithium-ion battery, the new Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION delivers an impressive WLTP range of up to 57.2 miles2 on pure electric, while providing the flexibility to enjoy longer journeys.
As with other Multivan models, the new 4MOTION variant offers space for up to seven seats as standard, and the same 469 litres of luggage space, extending to 1,844 litres with the rear seats removed.
Caddy Cargo eHybrid
Strengthening Volkswagen’s line-up of plug-in hybrid commercial vehicles available to customers, the Caddy Cargo panel van receives a plug-in hybrid drive for the first time, the 1.5 TSI 150PS 6-speed DSG engine. The new variant is available in a choice of three trim levels – Commerce, Commerce Plus and Commerce Pro.
Compared to other variants, the new Caddy Cargo eHybrid benefits from an even more generous payload of up to 740kg, while providing the same max load length of 2,150mm and up to 3.7m3 load volume, despite its compact design.
The new models are open for orders from 2 , with full details available at www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk.
