First official images of the new Caddy: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) is enhancing the classic vehicle. The new Caddy’s attractive design reveals changes that immediately catch the eye, such as a new bumper, new exterior paintwork or brand-new alloy wheels. The favourite vehicle of tradespeople, small business owners, families and hobby-lovers alike is getting an update, having already won over more than 500,000 customers worldwide and topping the table of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ most successful individual models in the 2025 financial year with over 110,000 vehicle deliveries.

About the Caddy from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: since 2003, which marked the launch of the third generation, a total of almost 2.9 million Caddy vans have been built exclusively at the Poznań plant in Poland; more than 500,000 high-roof versions of the current fifth-generation Caddy alone have been produced since its launch at the end of 2020 up to the beginning of March 2026.

The new Caddy has now received a number of changes. These include visually striking features – new exterior colours, wheels with new 16-inch to 18-inch rims and a front apron modified by the new bumper for both grained and painted versions.

With its numerous variants – including cargo and passenger car models, a normal or long wheelbase (Maxi), a basic version, Edition or California models, versions with the Life or Style package as well as Caddy Flexible or special conversions – this model series is also available with a petrol, diesel or eHybrid drive system. The latter provides a range of over 620 km, up to 122 km of which can be achieved using electric power alone.

Across the generations, tradespeople and small business owners have been just as impressed by the cargo van versions of the Caddy and the Caddy Flexible as taxi companies or families with children have by the passenger car versions. A particularly interesting option is the Caddy Flexible, which turns a five-seater passenger car into a full-fledged two-seater van with partition wall or vice versa in just a few simple steps.

Regardless of whether it’s equipped with a boot lid or wing doors, power closing systems as standard for the large sliding doors and boot lid on the Caddy passenger car, a flexible seating concept or a large load compartment, the Caddy offers solutions for almost every application. For example, it can cater to people who want to get out into nature for a while, whether they’re partaking in their hobbies (bikes, surfboards), out with their dogs, or keen to spend the night in the bed in the Caddy California, which is also available with an optional mini kitchen.

Five to seven seats already speak for themselves in the passenger car version with normal wheelbase, while the Caddy Cargo Maxi offers more than 3,100 litres of load compartment volume. It is also the first choice for people with disabilities, whether as active drivers or passengers, thanks to the extensive range of conversion options for the high-roof van. Depending on the model, the Caddy can also tow up to 1,500 kg with a tow bar.

In short: there is the ideal Caddy for almost every need, both as a commercial vehicle or a passenger car, in other words as an urban delivery van or a family leisure vehicle. The Caddy is the vehicle for people with big plans – for example, those who need to transport a lot of material or business equipment, those who want to transport family members and friends, and those who have to be able to move bicycles, surfboards, or pets.

The Caddy is modular, flexible, dynamic and always achieves good resale values. It is a sought-after model both new and pre-owned with millions of satisfied customers. It scores well in comparative tests, in statutory inspections and in terms of maintenance costs. As with other Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles models, the Caddy also comes with a manufacturer’s warranty of up to five years. This helps to prevent unplanned workshop costs.

Two wheelbases, plenty of loading options, the most variable seating concept on the market, 5- to 7-seater versions even for the short Caddy, sufficient towing capacity, plenty of options for your free time and routine jobs, and the ability to drive up to 122 km electrically with the eHybrid version (PHEV).

All in all, this makes the Caddy a functional and reliable companion for day-to-day work and family life. It becomes a part of the family, which is why many people give their Caddy a nickname.

Comprehensive changes are also to be expected in the interior of the new Caddy, including a larger, free-standing central display. Further information on the Caddy’s new interior will follow at the start of pre-sales in the middle of the year.

The ID. Cross will be launched on the European market from autumn 2026. The model will be available from a starting price of around 28,000 euros. The five-seater is aimed at customers who want to enjoy first-class electric mobility that is suitable for everyday use and affordable. The ID. Cross can be currently seen in Amsterdam in a striking camouflage wrap.

The exterior of the ID. Cross is characterised by the new Pure Positive Volkswagen design language with clear lines, balanced proportions and a high-quality appearance. At the same time, the ID. Cross comes across with a deliberately low-key yet confident look. The interior also conveys a sense of calm and clarity, while the materials and workmanship are oriented towards higher vehicle classes. Five seats, efficient use of space and intuitive functions and buttons as well as large-format displays round off the high-quality overall impression.

As regards the drive system, the ID. Cross is flexibly positioned. The power levels 85 kW, 99 kW and 155 kW are offered, combined with two battery sizes of 37 kWh and 52 kWh (net). This means that the model covers different usage profiles – from predominantly urban driving to regular journeys outside towns and cities. Modern assist systems support the driver and contribute to a high level of comfort. The ID. Cross is also future-proof when it comes to charging, enabling DC quick charging with up to 90 kW – with the larger battery up to 105 kW.

With its combination of compact dimensions, modern technologies and assist systems, high workmanship quality, plenty of space and an entry-level price of around 28,000 euros, the new ID. Cross offers an attractive price-performance ratio.

Volkswagen Group is encouraging customers to be ‘green rather than clean’ as part of the expansion of an initiative to swap the standard post-service wash and vacuum for planting a tree. More than 150 retailers from 21 investors across the Group’s Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Škoda and SEAT/CUPRA brands are offering the car wash opt-out as an option at their sites. Since January 2025, five million gallons of water have been saved and over 45,000 trees planted. 

A number of investor groups, including JCT600 and Yeomans, are pioneering the initiative and the results are positive with around a quarter of customers are happy to swap their car wash for tree planting. Volkswagen Group is working with Ecologi, an organisation which aims to inspire and empower businesses to accelerate global climate action, to undertake high-quality tree planting and sustainable projects across the globe.

Jaspal Toor, Aftersales Propositions Manager at Volkswagen Group UK, said: “We’re really pleased to be expanding our car wash swap for customers. We know that sustainability expectations influence customer decisions, from choice of car brand and model, through to aftersales. In fact, our research shows 86 per cent of customers say they would change brands to achieve a more sustainable aftersales choice, so we know environmentally conscious decisions extend beyond the vehicle purchase stage, and driver better customer satisfaction. Our goal is to reduce carbon emissions, conserve water, and offer sustainability-conscious customers a greener choice.”

Volkswagen Group retailers currently use more than 200 million gallons of water on car washes per year, equating to over 300 metric tonnes of CO2e. The initiative has so far saved five million gallons of water resulting in an estimated reduced CO2e impact of 6 metric tonnes. Car wash swap is just one of many ‘goTOzero’ initiatives aimed at minimising the impact of our operations on the environment.

The successor to the ID.3 is in the starting blocks with a new name and will celebrate its world premiere as the ID.3 Neo in mid-April. Thanks to the latest software generation, the electric compact model comes with a host of new functions. These include, for example, the enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection and One Pedal Driving, where the vehicle recuperates until it comes to a standstill. The ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7 are already available to order as the first models equipped with this software, the above-mentioned functions and the new Innovision infotainment system. In addition, all new ID. models now have the option of supplying power to external devices – from electric grills to e-bikes – with an output of up to 3.6 kW directly from the high-voltage battery using the Vehicle-to-Load function.

Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Board of Management responsible for Technical Development, says: “The new software generation brings more performance and an even better customer experience to the ID. models. The new Volkswagen electric models in the small and compact vehicle segments – ID. Polo, ID. Polo GTI, ID. Cross – will also soon be launched on the market with these new innovations, offering more flexibility in everyday life and for leisure activities.”

Software and hardware are designed to meet new or future regulatory conditions. These include the requirements of the European emissions standard Euro 7, the Californian standard ZEV3 (zero emission vehicle) and the EU directive GSR2 (General Safety Regulation 2), which is intended to further increase road traffic safety.

Additional services. The new ID. models also feature the new Innovision infotainment system. A new app store has also been integrated into the In-Car Shop of the new infotainment system, which allows functions and services to be activated or extended digitally, flexibly and on a vehicle-specific basis. As with a smartphone, popular apps from areas such as audio, video streaming, parking, charging and gaming are available for download here.

New option – digital vehicle key. A digital key is now also available as an option for all models. This enables convenient access to the vehicle using a mobile device (smartphone, smartwatch).The digital vehicle key supplements the classic vehicle key. Communication takes place wirelessly in a similar way to payment processes with a smartphone; a special app is not required. There is also a change in the operating concept. All future ID. models have buttons on the steering wheel that improve intuitive operation of the various functions.

More flexibility thanks to Vehicle-to-Load. With the new software generation, the Vehicle-to-Load function is also being introduced in the ID. models and thus the ability to power electrical devices directly from the vehicle battery. External devices such as an electric grill,coffee maker or even an e-bike can be powered or charged directly from the high-voltage battery with up to 3.6 kW. This is possible using a 230 V socket in the interior and – with a separate adapter – also via the mode 3 connection of the charging socket.

Entry-level models more efficient and with greater range. There are also new developments in the areas of engine and battery: the ID.4 and ID.5 Pure entry-level models are equipped with the APP 350, a new 140 kW (190 PS) drive system that offers increased torque and lowers fuel consumption compared with the previous APP 310 motors. This enables the range of the ID.4 to be increased by up to 40 km (WLTP), for example. In combination with a new lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) high-voltage battery (58 kWh net), this is an impressive package that is robust and very efficient.
