2022 Volkswagen Caddy diesel prices to rise by up to $2700
Prices of the the diesel-powered Volkswagen Caddy range will rise by between $2000 and $2700 from January 1, though there’ll be a cheaper petrol engine to fill the gap.
Just four months after going on sale, prices of the new 2022 Volkswagen Caddy van and people mover range will be hiked by up to $2700.
Effective from 1 January 2022, prices of the diesel-powered Caddy range will rise by between $2000 and $2700, with a Volkswagen Australia telling Drive the increases have been “set by the factory due to the usual pressures such as inflation, increased supplier and freight costs.”
The diesel price rises will come into effect within a few weeks of the arrival of new petrol-powered TSI220 variants, which will serve as the entry points of each variant across the range – with the prices of all Cargo and Crewvan TSI220 models matching the sticker prices of equivalent TDI280 manuals and TDI320 autos prior to January 1.
The cheapest Caddy continues to be priced at $34,990 before on-road costs, though this is now a short-wheelbase, six-speed manual Cargo TSI220 model, rather than the Cargo TDI280 manual that previously opened the range, which is now positioned at $36,990 before on-roads.
The range-topping California TDI320 diesel has been hit with the biggest price increase, up $2700 to $57,690 before on-road costs (from $54,990). A new TSI220 version of the California is available from $55,690 before on-road costs, with identical standard equipment levels to the diesel.
Launched locally at the start of August, the fifth-generation Volkswagen Caddy moves to the MQB front-wheel-drive platform underpinning the latest Volkswagen Golf, and can be had in two-seat Cargo van, five-seat Crewvan, eight-seat People Mover and campervan California guises.
