Volkswagen new Caddy BlueMotion to be unveiled at 2013 IAA

Volkswagen will unveil the new Caddy BlueMotion commercial vehicle at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The Caddy is available in a number of versions with different engines, and this variety is a key reason for its success. The new Caddy BlueMotion is the most fuel efficient Caddy ever with a low fuel consumption of 22.23kmpl (62.8 mpg).

Under the hood, the new Caddy BlueMotion features the same 1.6-litre TDI with common rail direct injection that develops 100bhp and 250Nm of top torque. The vehicle has a 60-litre fuel tank, therefore it can run up to 13,00km on full tank. The vehicle’s low fuel consumption values were made possible by a combination of aerodynamic and engineering measures such as engine stop-start function, low rolling resistance tyres, recovery of braking energy (battery regeneration), ride height lowered (by 27 mm) and efficient engine control.

A Caddy BlueMotion with a short wheelbase is available in four equipment versions- panel van and kombi as well as in passenger-carrying versions. The Caddy BlueMotion can be distinguished by a badge at the rear, its lower ride height, special full wheel covers and painted side guard strips. Equipment features such as standard hill hold assist, cruise control system, exclusive seat upholstery and air vent surrounds in high-gloss black (passenger version) are all standard.
