Volkswagen range could impress van insurance buyers

Van insurance buyers could very well be impressed with the just-unveiled Volkswagen models, the Caddy and Caddy Maxi.

These vehicles - orders for which will be taken from September 27th, with customer deliveries beginning in November - boast upgraded materials, a traction control system, a fresh new look and enhanced convenience and comfort options.

For example, the vans come equipped with an electronic stabilisation programme, speed sensitive power steering, a CD stereo and remote central locking.

But that's not all - the BlueMotion technology models come with aerodynamic wheel arch spoilers, hill hold assist, cruise control and low rolling resistance tyres, all of which, the manufacturer says, means the range "represents strong value for money over the outgoing models, with five versions available from launch".

One satisfied customer seems to be British Gas, which is expecting the delivery of 2,000 vehicles this year, the first of which was provided towards the end of August - sporting cyan blue livery.
