Used Caddy Maxi LIFE for sale

What is the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life?

A used Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life is several steps removed from the van on which it’s based, which means it has a more familiar and comfortable car-like feel.

Based on the Caddy, which is a small van favoured by businesses who do a lot of town driving, Maxi versions have a slightly longer wheelbase and more room inside.

Though there are standard Caddy Maxi people carriers available, the Life trim adds a few more details to give this high-quality vehicle a more premium feel.

What are the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life specs?

Engine choices for a Caddy Maxi Life for sale are similar to those of its van counterpart, and are mainly made up of 2.0-litre diesel engines.

There are 102hp and 122hp versions of the 2.0 TDI diesel engine, as well as a 114hp version of Volkswagen’s popular 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine.

Besides engine choices, you can pick from manual or smooth-shifting dual-clutch automatic gearboxes.

Used Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life features and equipment

As well as the front and second-row seats you get in a Caddy Life, the Maxi version adds a pair of third-row seats, making this a seven-seater that’s genuinely useable even by adults.

The Life trim adds a few car-like details that you wouldn’t get in the standard Caddy Maxi, such as a leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel and adjustable lumbar support for the front seats.

The Caddy Life comes as standard with an 8.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, but upgrades include a larger 10-inch system and a digital instrument cluster.

Where the Caddy Maxi Life sits in the Volkswagen range

A Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life for sale is the most well-equipped version of this van-based people carrier you can get, though there are some optional extras so double-check any used listings to be sure you’re getting what you want.

For a five-seat version, there’s also the Caddy Life. There are also entry-level Caddy and Caddy Maxi versions, but they’re more similar to the commercial Caddy in terms of fit and finish.
