Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has revealed the images and information for the successor to the Caddy Beach.
The new Mini-camper is based on the revamped fifth-generation of the Caddy and features a host of new features, such as a new bed concept that has been redeveloped to offer greater versatility. Technology in the compact camper van is state-of-the-art, while the panorama glass roof offers nights under the stars.
The small brother of the California is an absolute all-rounder for the young family, sport and hobby users. In short, it is intended for all who seek maximum flexibility from their car, so that they can embark on spontaneous micro-adventures.
Sleeping comfort as in a California and, if desired, also under a 1.4m2 panora roof.
Cleverly stowed in the rear are the popular and lightweight camping chairs and table from the California models. The two practical storage bags can be taken inside the home for easy loading. They also serve as privacy screens inside the vehicle when fastened in the rear window sections.
The new Caddy features 19 assistance systems such as Travel Assist, which enables assisted driving in a Volkswagen commercial vehicle over the entire range of speeds. Also new in the Caddy and familiar from the Crafter and the T series are Trailer Assist, as well as the Side-Assist and Rear Traffic Alert.
The Caddy’s new four-cylinder engines are from the next stage of engine evolution, fulfil the 2021 Euro 6 emissions standards and are all fitted with particulate filters. Also being used for the first time in the TDI units – which have power outputs between 75PS and 122PS – is the new twin dosing system. Via two SCR catalytic converters and hence double AdBlue injection, the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission levels are significantly reduced in comparison to the previous model, making the Caddy’s TDI engines among the cleanest diesel engines in the world. Also efficient and sustainable are a turbocharged petrol engine (TSI) delivering 116PS.
The world premiere of the new compact camper is set to take place virtually at the beginning of September.
The living space can be significantly expanded with a rear tent. So the Mini-Camper becomes a glamping lodge.
