The 2022 Volkswagen Caddy TSI220 DSG is the base petrol seven-seater in the all-new Caddy Maxi range, designed for families and small businesses who need a flexible people-mover. The 1.5-litre TSI220 turbo petrol four makes 84kW and 220Nm, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG driving the front wheels. ADR fuel use is 6.2L/100km combined. Standard equipment includes seven airbags (front, side, curtain across all three rows, front centre), the full active safety suite (AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keep, side assist with rear traffic alert, rear cross-traffic alert, driver fatigue detection), electronic park brake with auto-hold, an 8.25-inch Composition Audio touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six speakers, DAB+, two USB-C ports, wireless charging pad, leather multifunction steering wheel, and electric power-folding heated mirrors. Compromises versus the Life trim: standard cruise control instead of adaptive, manual rather than two-zone climate, steel wheels with covers (not alloys), and no keyless entry. The Caddy tows 1,500kg braked and has 446 litres of cargo behind the third row, expanding to 3,105 litres with both rear rows removed.

The 2022 Volkswagen Caddy TDI320 DSG is the diesel version of the base Caddy seven-seater. The 2.0-litre TDI320 turbo diesel four produces 90kW and 320Nm — a useful torque step up over the petrol — paired to the 7-speed DSG and front-wheel drive. AdBlue is standard. ADR fuel use is 4.9L/100km combined, making this the most efficient Caddy variant in Australia. Standard equipment matches the Caddy TSI: seven airbags, full active safety (AEB with pedestrian and cyclist, lane-keep, blind-spot with rear traffic alert, rear cross-traffic, driver fatigue), 8.25-inch Composition Audio with wired CarPlay/Android Auto, six speakers, wireless charging, electric park brake with auto-hold, steel wheels with covers, manual A/C. Towing is 1,500kg braked / 750kg unbraked, with a 717kg payload (vs 682kg for the petrol). The diesel is the pick for high-km commercial users and caravan towers; the petrol is cheaper to buy and slightly lighter on its feet around town.

The 2022 Volkswagen Caddy Life TSI220 DSG is the top trim with the 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine. Drivetrain is identical to the Caddy TSI (84kW/220Nm, 7-speed DSG, FWD, 6.2L/100km combined), but Life adds the kit that turns the Caddy from a base people-mover into a properly equipped family vehicle. The Life-specific equipment includes adaptive cruise control 2.0 with stop-and-go, two-zone Climatronic with AirCare allergen filter, KESSY keyless entry and start, multi-colour digital cockpit, power-latching tailgate, 17-inch "Barahona" alloy wheels, auto-dimming interior mirror, electric folding heated mirrors, heat-insulating glass on front side windows and rear, rear privacy glass, chrome roof rails, leather multifunction steering wheel, and Comfort Drive Travel Assist with Emergency Assist (semi-autonomous lane-following plus emergency override). Active safety equipment is the same as the base Caddy (AEB with pedestrian and cyclist, lane-keep, side assist with cross-traffic, driver fatigue) plus Park Assist with front PDC. The trade-offs are the same as any TSI Caddy: 84kW is modest for a fully-loaded 7-seater, fuel use is meaningfully higher than the diesel, and at 1,676kg tare it weighs as much as a small SUV.

The 2022 Volkswagen Caddy Life TDI320 DSG is the flagship of the Australian Caddy lineup — diesel torque paired with the full Life equipment list. The 2.0-litre TDI320 turbo diesel four produces 90kW and 320Nm (the strongest torque output in the Caddy range) through a 7-speed DSG and front-wheel drive, returning 4.9L/100km combined on ADR with AdBlue. On top of the engine, Life adds adaptive cruise control 2.0 with stop-and-go, two-zone Climatronic with AirCare allergen filter, KESSY keyless entry and start, multi-colour digital cockpit, power-latching tailgate, 17-inch alloy wheels, auto-dimming interior mirror, power-folding heated mirrors, heat-insulating glass, rear privacy glass, chrome roof rails, Park Assist with front-and-rear PDC, and Comfort Drive Travel Assist with Emergency Assist. Towing is 1,500kg braked / 750kg unbraked with a 708kg payload. For families or commercial users who need a seven-seat people-mover that drives like a car and tows like a small SUV, the Caddy Life TDI is the most complete option in the lineup. Natural cross-shops are the Renault Kangoo Life L2 and Citroen Berlingo XTR.
