THE STYLISH new Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Sportline panel van makes its show debut at Interbuild 2008.
The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles stand also features its best-selling van, the Transporter, fitted with a Bott racking system, plus a Crafter Tipper from the Volkswagen Engineered to go range of conversions, and a Crafter panel van fitted with a Supertrucks glass frail carrier.
The new Caddy Maxi Sportline and the smaller Caddy Sportline, were announced last month and join the existing Transporter Sportline (short and long wheelbase panel vans and five-seater kombi) to expand the Volkswagen Sportline range to five models.
Volkswagen’s stylish Sportline range is designed for builders and contractors who want a van that stands out from the crowd with swift performance to match.
The eye-catching exterior of the Caddy Maxi Sportline includes: chrome side rails and front grilles, lower front spoiler with integrated fog lights, rear roof spoiler, body-coloured bumpers, mirrors and door handles, plus unique 17-inch six-spoke alloy wheels with Sportline centre logo. Under the bonnet, a 2.0-litre TDI PD engine can deliver a 0 to 62mph time of 10.5 seconds and 45.6mpg on the combined cycle.
The interior is special too, with bespoke black Italian leather upholstery with red stitching, micro-perforated red centre panels and embroidered Sportline logo, plus electric windows, ‘Climatic’ air conditioning, a radio/CD and electrically operated and heated door mirrors. The load area has a payload of 724kg.
Prices for the new Caddy Maxi Sportline start at a basic retail price (excluding VAT) of £18,280. Full details of the Sportline range are available from www.volkswagensportline.co.uk.
