Can the new VW Caddy 5 tow? Need a Caddy 5 towbar?

If you want more space than a VW Golf can offer, then the Caddy 5 offers similar quality and identical tech in a spacious and practical package.  But can the new VW Caddy 5 tow? Need a Caddy 5 towbar?

With dwindling choice available in the pure MPV class, if you require a decent people mover this might be for you. For those that need to carry the maximum amount of passengers and luggage at the same time, a van-based MPV such as the new Volkswagen Caddy 5 will be a perfect choice.

The Caddy Range launches with three familiar body styles and configurations. The flexible Caddy van – now named Caddy Cargo, the ever-popular Caddy Crewvan, and the capacious Caddy People Mover

For this fifth-generation the van has tapped into the technology and engineering of the latest Golf Mk8 to deliver a drive that's more car-like than ever.

Built on the modular MQB platform, the all-new Caddy 5 shares its underpinnings with the latest Golf 8, and will boast levels of technology not yet seen in the light commercial space. Caddy 5 will offer a total of 17 driver assistance systems – many of which have been heavily upgraded for the new generation vehicle, along with four systems that are entirely new to the category. 

Some of the highlights of the Caddy 5’s tech offering include Rear Traffic Alert, Emergency Assist, the latest “Travel Assist” driver assistance system, and the lane keeping system “Side Assist”. The ubiquitous, yet ever-practical and potentially lifesaving, a rearview camera is standard across the range.

On the inside, the all-new Caddy is in a class all of its own with a clean, ergonomically-focussed interior

The aptly named Cargo, the market-leading small commercial vehicle, has grown in all the areas that count:
Rear opening width with wing doors +51mm .
Available with two sliding door widths, with the Caddy Maxi now offering an additional +135 mm  Max. load compartment width +58 mm or +82 mm in the Caddy Maxi.

While Caddy 5 is an all-new model, it is still 100 per cent a Caddy. For over a decade, the Caddy has been the market leader in its segment. While new customers will be attracted to the Caddy 5 for its practicality and technology, existing customers, many of whom have owned several previous generations of Caddy, will see this latest evolution as simply making a good thing even better.

VW has rated the new Caddy 5 to tow up to 1700kgs - our towbars are rated the same.

Whether your need to tow a small caravan or take your bikes along in your new people mover, or if you are a tradie who need more space than the van allows, why not fit a towbar?
