New petrol engines for the Caddy and Caravelle

Does the arrival of some petrol engines for the Caddy and Caravelle have anything to do with Volkswagen's ongoing diesel emissions scandal? Probably not, but it illustrates that even buyers of such vehicles now want a choice of fuel.

With capacities ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 litres, the new powertrains are variously available for the Caddy panel van, Caddy Life MPV and short-wheelbase T6 Caravelle SE. All are Euro 6-compliant.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested.
