VW Caddy is now a seven-seat MPV

The Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life MPV will cost from 15,995 when it hits the showrooms in March.

The seven-seater is available with a choice of two diesel engines, a 102bhp 1.9-litre and a 137bhp 2.0-litre.

There is just one trim, offering air-con, electric front windows, child locks on both sliding rear doors, luggage nets, a six-speaker radio and CD system and front foglights.

Safety features include electronic brake force distribution and traction control. As an option, buyers can order a trailer stabilisation function.
