Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has bolstered its eco-conscious offerings in the UK with the launch of two innovative plug-in hybrid models: the Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION and the Caddy Cargo eHybrid.
These vans follow in the footsteps of the recent debut of an addition to the all-electric VW Buzz Cargo line up.
These vehicles, which are available for order now, combine practicality with sustainable technology, catering to businesses and families seeking greener transport solutions.
There’s a lot to like about these offerings and they deserve to be shortlisted for anyone thinking about investing in hybrid vans for their business.
Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION
Priced from £45,465, the Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION introduces an advanced all-wheel-drive system, blending an electric motor on the rear axle with a front-axle engine.
It’s a comfortable drive and it’s available in Life and Style trims, as well as Standard or Long Wheelbase configurations with a 1.5-litre TSI 245PS 6-speed DSG 4MOTION powertrain.
Its 19.7kWh lithium-ion battery delivers an impressive WLTP electric range of up to 57.2 miles, ideal for short delivery rounds or extended journeys.
With seating for seven and luggage capacity ranging from 469 to 1,844 litres, the Multivan is a flexible choice.
The Life trim includes 16” or 17” alloy wheels, sliding doors with power latching, a 10″ Ready 2 Discover infotainment system.
We also liked the raft of safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Assist.
The Style trim enhances comfort with heated seats, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlamps, and a 3-zone Air Care Climatronic system.
Caddy Cargo eHybrid
Starting at £28,435, the Caddy Cargo eHybrid brings plug-in hybrid efficiency to Volkswagen’s compact van range.
It might be compact, but it packs a punch and comes equipped with a 1.5-litre TSI 150PS 6-speed DSG engine.
VW is offering the van in Commerce, Commerce Plus and Commerce Pro trims.
A 19.7kWh battery provides up to 73.3 miles of electric-only driving, reducing emissions for urban deliveries.
Despite its compact footprint, the Caddy Cargo eHybrid supports a 740kg payload and a 3.7m³ load volume.
The Commerce trim features a 10.4” Composition Colour infotainment system, DAB radio, and cruise control.
Commerce Plus adds ergoComfort seats and App-Connect, while Commerce Pro includes a Discover Media navigation system, heated seats, and a rear-view camera.
Volkswagen’s eco-conscious transport
These launches highlight Volkswagen’s dedication to eco-conscious transport, providing British customers with efficient, functional vans.
For UK van drivers and businesses, the Multivan eHybrid 4MOTION and Caddy Cargo eHybrid offer compelling benefits: reduced running costs through electric driving, compliance with urban low-emission zones and versatile designs suited to trades, deliveries or passenger transport.
With advanced technology and robust payloads, these hybrids empower small enterprises and fleet operators to embrace sustainability without sacrificing performance.
