Overview
HOW nobody has offered a diesel-powered seven-seat people-mover for under $40,000 in Australia, until now, is a mystery.
Realising this opportunity, niche-segment specialist Volkswagen steps in first with its Caddy Life TDI, a Golf-based, van-derived people-mover aimed at frugal urbanites.
There’s also a $28,000 1.6-litre opener to create Australia’s cheapest seven-seater.
How the Caddy Life performs in the market place, VW admits it has no idea.
However, we do know that Kia, Hyundai and even Honda should start worrying.
