Pros & cons
Volkswagen Caddy IV
- Large 750 L luggage area supports cargo-heavy routines
- Efficient for its class with 6.5 combined consumption
- Five-seat layout suits growing families
- Good value in its segment around the 25,000 price point
- 102 hp and 10.8 s to 100 km/h feel modest, especially when loaded
- Only five seats; larger families may need more capacity
- Not aimed at premium-feel buyers or feature hunters
- Winter driving capability is not a highlight in the signals
Ford Transit Crew Van
- Seats six while still offering 2,800 liters of cargo space for people-and-gear trips
- Prioritizes reliability in segment signals, suiting high-mileage family or fleet use
- Efficient for its class (combined consumption 8.5) to help control running costs
- 350 Nm of torque supports hauling and steady highway cruising
- Not aimed at performance driving; 0–100 km/h in 10.5 s and 136 hp prioritize utility over speed
- Winter driving is a weak signal here; those needing confident snow and ice capability may want alternatives
- Limited to six seats; not ideal if you need 7–9 passengers
- Van-sized footprint can be cumbersome in tight city streets and parking
