2014 Volkswagen Caddy Black Edition

It appears that the irresistible urge among car manufacturers to create special editions with ‘black’ in their names has spread to the commercial vehicle market: Volkswagen’s latest offering is the Caddy Black Edition, which will come in short-wheelbase panel van guise only.

Based on the existing well-equipped Highline trim grade, the new arrival is distinguished by Deep Black Pearlescent paintwork and matching 17” ‘Budapest’ alloy wheels. There is some visual contrast though, as the grille surround and roof rails gain a silver finish.

Along with the usual Bluetooth, air conditioning, cruise control and trip computer, the interior specification has been improved too. Additional items fitted to the Black Edition include leather and Alcantara upholstery, a multi-function steering wheel and heated door mirrors. Completing the upgrades are a full-height solid bulkhead and the Dynamic Suspension package which reduces the ride height and improves handling.

The sole available engine is a 100 bhp (75 kW / 102 PS) 1.6 litre diesel. Paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, it achieves 55.4 mpg (5.1 l/100km) on the combined cycle while emitting 134 g/km of carbon dioxide.
