This Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life is entirely devoid of fashion. But it's not the sort of compromise you'd expect: it handles like a Volkswagen should and has low operating expenses. Although most people think of an SUV as a natural development from a family hatch, the Caddy Maxi Life makes your money go a lot farther.
Power 100 - 147 bhp
0 - 60 mph 10.0 - 13.0 secs
Fuel Economy 37.2 - 49.6 mpg
Road Tax £135 - £165
The Caddy Maxi Life not only has a spacious and functional cabin, but it also has double sliding rear doors that make getting in and out of small parking spaces much easier. The massive rear tailgate, which is hinged at the top like a regular hatchback but greatly longer, can absolutely keep you out of the rain when changing dirty boots, but it won't always be easily accessible in a multi-story building. If you need to convert the Caddy Maxi Life back to a van for any reason, all of the rear seats may be removed. However, because the removable seats are uncomfortable and heavy, we strongly advise enlisting the help of multiple strapping aides to make this transition.
16-inch alloy wheels are standard (the regular Caddy Life has steel wheels), as are body-colored bumpers and black roof rails. Electric front windows, a DAB radio, and child seat mounting hooks on the outer rear seats are also available on the inside. The petrol version of the 2017 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life starts at roughly £26,000, whereas the diesel version costs around £300 more. Around £28,600 will get you a diesel with the DSG automatic gearbox. An almost new version can be had for roughly £20,000.
