"The VW Caravelle boxy van-like appearance bring van-like functionality thanks to an extremely spacious cabin."

Volkswagen has since the 1950s with van production synonym. In the sixties, many VW Transporter found the favor of "peace and love" movement, and this union a remarkable following create for them since then has helped.

Today's Volkswagen van is a completely different animal. The rugged simplicity of the original "Type 2" van has given way to upscale, even luxury, the feeling of the latest Volkswagen Caravelle. Even the price tag of Caravelle today is a world away from the original - you'll pay more than 37,000 £ even for the base model

For the money, you are but one of the condition most. spacious and comfortable minivans in the business, with up to seven seats, a huge boat and - whisper it quietly - looks surprisingly good. We say that there behind the Caravelle luxury equipment is actually a far more modest Transporter van.

Four engines are available, and you can choose between short or long wheelbase and front or all-wheel drive. Of the two systems to offer, the Caravelle SE offers many devices as standard, although the Board of Caravelle to go for if you are looking forward for the VIP experience.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

3.2 / 5

For a big car, the Caravelle is surprisingly efficient.

Whichever diesel version of the Caravelle you choose, the official fuel consumption is around the middle of 40mpg mark. The lower power 148bhp engine is slightly more efficient in the city, but is calculated by the time the official fuel consumption, there is less of a difference. There is a slight penalty, a four-wheel drive version for the election and models with automatic transmission are slightly more efficient than manual models.

Depending on the version you choose, the CO2 emissions are in the range of 161 and 176 g / km, which means you pay between £ 180 and £ 205 respectively in the vehicle tax.

, it is considered that for the Caravelle Euro to reach 6 emission standard, it must with AdBlue, refilled a liquid that removes some of the pollutants of the vehicle.

There may also be two petrol versions are, but with no real increase performance and significantly worse fuel economy, they are difficult to recommend.

motors, drive & performance

3.5 / 5

The two diesel available impressive performance [deliver

There is only really makes sense one of the two diesel engines for the Caravelle to consider available. Both are 2.0-liter, but it is as a TDI that badged other than BiTDI. The former produces 148bhp and allows the Caravelle from 0-62mph in 13 seconds to accelerate. The latter makes 201bhp cutting that number to 10 seconds 0-62mph.

owners should choose the 148bhp TDI version with an eye on the economy, as it provides decent punch for overtaking and is smooth at highway speeds. Who should look at finding a even quieter drive on the powerful BiTDI engine, which is very quiet, even when fully loaded with passengers and luggage.

Both engines can be specified with either a six-speed manual or seven -speed automatic DSG, but the search for grip-enhancing all-wheel drive will have to decide for the more powerful BiTDI engine

At all speeds the Caravelle safe and stable feels -. and highly agile considering it is essentially a large van. The downside is the steering, which feels rather vague and imprecise.

interior & comfort

Upmarket interior of the Caravelle price tag belongs

from the driver's seat, you be hard pressed to the Caravelle would say, has its roots in a workhorse van. The interior looks and feels high quality, similar to the Volkswagen Passenger Cars, with which it shares a good number of switches and dials. Of course, the high seating position is a great giveaway and allows you to even look at the biggest SUV down.

It also allows easily assess the dimensions of the Caravelle, which is very convenient because of its size. Front and rear parking sensors are standard, but a parking sensor display and rear camera Pack is only available as an option.

practicality & trunk

4.7 / 5

Masses of space for seven, plus luggage

Despite the height of the Caravelle, it is easy to climb for the passengers to and from the rear seats, although it will be slightly more difficult to get in the front. Once there, there is plenty of storage space within reach of the driver and front passenger, and there is a lot of support in the sides of the seats.

Access to the rear is supported on both sides by sliding doors with closing, but if you want to electrically open and close, you need to choose the Executive trim.

There is no shortage of space in the back, regardless of whether you choose the standard or long wheelbase model, although the choice latter is a bit more difficult to find a suitable parking space.

Each of the five seats in the back is comfortable, but the way they are arranged, is quite different from the MPV standard. rotated 360 degrees, so show the second row passengers forward or stand in front of the three-seat rear bench; important for the high-level meeting, while on the move. The second row of seats can fold and can slide the third row. All can be removed from them if you want to transform your Caravelle people carrier van.

If you want more seats than the Caravelle can offer, then take vans to passenger versions of the Volkswagen a glance, or the Mercedes V-Class, which offers the possibility of eight seats.

Volkswagen unquoted a boot volume figure, only that it has a massive 5.8sqm load volume, growing in the long wheelbase to 6.7sqm model.

price, price-performance ratio and options

3.6 / 5

equipment list is extensive, but the price is expensive

with a price tag that starts at more than £ 37,000 (£ 30,000 excluding VAT), no Caravelle comes cheap. That's more than any Ford Galaxy or SEAT Alhambra. Fortunately there is no shortage of equipment. The entry-level Caravelle SE has Bluetooth and USB connectivity, DAB, air conditioning with a second heater in the rear, a rail system to vary the position of the seats and rear bench, four Isofix fittings and electrically-operated and heated door mirrors to the highlights.
