• Digital: individually adaptable workplace in the new Caddy
• Large-scale: two 10-inch displays give a good overview
• Fast: multifunction steering wheel with numerous buttons
• Intuitive: natural voice control, touch-button islands and -sliders
• Optional: Caddy with analogue displays and rotary switches too
• More effortless than ever: Mobile online services of ‘We Connect’ make driving in the Caddy easier

Hannover, 11 June 2021 – An innovative feature of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ new Caddy is it configurable ‘Digital Cockpit’ with 10.25-inch screen. Together with the ten-inch navigation system and voice control it can optionally be configured to form the so-called ‘Innovision Cockpit’. The two displays, diagonally measuring over 25 centimetres in each case, form in this way a highly modern, digital landscape – and do so along one line of sight for the driver. Be it an analogue or fully digital world – ultimately customers decide for themselves how digital their Caddy becomes – for analogue displays and rotary switches can also still be ordered. With ‘We Connect’ numerous online services are available if needed.

• New Multivan generation follows the charismatic DNA of its legendary predecessors
• New Multivan is the first Bulli to be launched with a plug-in hybrid drive system
• Up to 4,053 litres of luggage space and flexible seating layout with a new track system

Hannover, 10 June 2021 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles today unveils a completely new generation of the Multivan in a world premiere. In technical terms the MPV is making a major leap: For the first time, a plug-in hybrid is part of the drive system portfolio. In addition, a new evolutionary stage of networked assistance, operating and infotainment systems is on board. A new interior concept makes the Multivan even more versatile. The iconic design has undergone evolutionary development: Head designer Albert Kirzinger: “The new Multivan bears the unmistakable genes of the world’s best-known van design.”

• Flexible seating expands the possibilities in the new Caddy
• Five or seven seats – or rather more load space?
• Can be folded down, tipped forward and taken out
• Third row now with two individual seats for greater everyday flexibility
• Miracle of space: cargo capacity is the Caddy's core competence

Hannover, 4 June 2021 – Two of the special features of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ new Caddy are undoubtedly its interior adaptability and its both flexible and large cargo capacity: up to seven seats, which can be folded down, tipped forward or taken out as required. These include for the first time ever two individual seats for the third row. They come as standard in the Caddy Maxi variants with long wheelbase or as an option in the short Caddy. Also part of the adaptability are the proven double bench seat and the single seat on the second row, now with adjustable backrest angle, a front passenger seat that, as an option, can be folded down and luggage space of up to 3.7 cubic metres.

• Trailing arm-guided rigid axle with Panhard rod
• Using coil rather than leaf springs 
• Agile, space-saving running gear thanks to new rear axle
• Integration of 4MOTION all-wheel drive possible, as is adding CNG tanks for the Caddy TGI or rear cut-outs for ramps
• In the Caddy Cargo Euro pallets now fit between the wheel arches sideways too

Hannover, 28 May 2021 – One highlight in Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ Caddy is its new rear axle. To optimise ride comfort the previous leaf spring system from the preceding generations has been replaced by a coil spring construction. Despite this it can still carry large payloads. The trailing arm-guided rigid axle with Panhard rod is very space-saving: there is room, for instance, for the differential of the all-wheel-drive Caddy 4MOTION or optionally the CNG tanks of the future alternatively powered Caddy TGI. Further possibilities: carrying wheelchair-bound passengers thanks to being able to retrospectively fit ramps; or loading two Euro pallets in the Caddy Cargo.

• Nice spacious feel thanks to Low-E coating
• Reduced use of air conditioning in the vehicle
• Low-E technology ideal in both cold and hot weather conditions

Hannover, 21 May 2021 – One highlight of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ new Caddy is without doubt the large panoramic glass roof, or PGR for short. It is available as an option for the fifth-generation passenger car versions of the Caddy (Caddy, Life and Style). In the launch model and the special edition ‘Move’ model it comes as standard. Its fixed design facilitates a completely clear view out and simultaneously reduces unnecessary extra fuel consumption. A special coating enables optimised management of the inside temperature and also means there is no need for any roller blind.

• Second Argo test site based on Pennsylvania example currently being set up next to Munich Airport
• Big opportunity for increasing road safety, including in major German cities
• VWCV using a combination of lidar, radar and cameras for Level 4 autonomous driving vehicles
• Commercial use as of 2025: Mobility service provider MOIA will launch autonomous service in Hamburg, Germany

Hannover, 12 May 2021 – With development already underway, the first self-driving prototypes based on the future ID. BUZZ will commence operations in Munich this summer.

• New generation of the Multivan to launch with extremely flexible table system
• Added comfort: New multi-function table can serve as a centre console between driver’s and front passenger seat
• Movable: New floor tracks enable table/centre console to be set up in any of the three seating rows
• New Multivan again provides practical gap for climbing through to the back, plus lots of headroom

Hannover, 11 May 2021 – It is a feature that even the first Multivan already had on board more than 35 years ago: a table in the back. Since then, this practical feature has been an ever-present in every generation of the all-rounder. Over the years the detailed design of the tables became increasingly innovative: now comes the most flexible table ever – in the new Multivan. Why are we even calling it a table? Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has reinvented the feature: from now on it's a multi-function system, which can also be used as a centre console – not just in the front, but on any seating row.
