The Volkswagen Caddy is a compact van and high-roof passenger wagon built on the MQB platform. This 2026 update is the second facelift of the fourth generation, which has been on sale since 2020. European orders opened on 10 June 2026. The changes are deliberately modest: Volkswagen calls it a facelift, and the engine range carries over unchanged.
Bodies and sizes. The Caddy comes in standard and long (Maxi) wheelbases, and in four configurations: Cargo (panel van), a passenger version with five or seven seats, the Flexible seating layout, and the California camper conversion.
Powertrains. Petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid, all front-wheel drive. The petrol is a 1.5 TSI with 116 PS; the 2.0 TDI diesel comes in 102 PS and 122 PS forms. The eHybrid plug-in produces a system 150 PS and 350 Nm, with up to 122 km of electric-only range and more than 620 km combined.
Inside. The cabin is where most of the work went. A new steering wheel with a flattened rim returns to physical buttons, in front of a 10.25-inch digital cluster and a 12.9-inch infotainment screen. Climate control moves to touch sliders. A 25-watt wireless charging pad and two 60-watt USB-C ports are standard. Outside, there are new 16 to 18-inch wheels, a revised colour palette, and a reworked bumper offered in two designs.
Pricing (Germany). The Cargo van starts at 31,511 euros (about $33,900), the Maxi Cargo at 34,051 euros. The passenger Caddy opens at 34,200 euros and the passenger Maxi at 37,562 euros. All figures include VAT.
