2018 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Freezer Van: Engine
This feisty freezer van is a lot smaller than the Volkswagen Transporter, but not as big as the regular Caddy. Powering this van is a 1.4 litre turbo petrol engine that produces 92kW power at 220Nm of torque. You may think this small, but it’s actually enough to zip the Caddy around the city at reasonable speeds. This van also has a sports mode, though this only serves to increase the rev and burn your fuel faster.
The seven-speed DSG gear does its best to keep the revs at 4500rpm up until 100km/h, which is fairly impressive for a van of its size.
