There’s a brand-new Volkswagen Caddy now on sale in South Africa. We review the flagship Caddy Maxi version and see just how practical it is.

The previous generation VW Caddy found homes on many South African driveways, not only as a commercial vehicle but as a family car too.

VW has brought 0 variants of the latest Caddy to market, from a bog-standard panel van to this, the top-of-the-range Caddy Maxi.

With 7 seats, most of which are foldable and completely removable, as well as a huge boot even when all 7 seats are in place, the Caddy Maxi represents incredibly flexibility and practicality as a family vehicle.

In this review, our video guy Ciro De Siena takes a detailed look at the top-spec VW Caddy Maxi 2.0Tdi variant, and does his best to not put his back out while removing and replacing all the seats.
