About the Volkswagen Caddy Mk4
The fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, though technically a heavy facelift of the Mk3, introduced significant interior refinements and Euro 6-compliant engines. Built on a combination of the PQ35 and MQB platforms, it shares many components with the Golf, resulting in a driving experience that is notably more car-like than its rivals. The 102 PS 2.0 TDI engine became the mainstay of the range, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and sufficient torque for urban deliveries. It remains a staple for small businesses and a popular base for lifestyle camper conversions due to its build quality and strong residual values.
