Volkswagen Caravelle RENTAL

The Caravelle is powered by a choice of two 2.0-litre common-rail turbodiesel engines, with either 138bhp or (in the twin-turbo unit) 178bhp, mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed DSG automatic. Both are more than gutsy enough to haul the huge body around, but the 138bhp unit is the better compromise between power and fuel economy.

The sixth-generation Volkswagen Caravelle MPV might trace its conceptual roots back to the original Type 2 Kombi van from the early 1950s, but there’s really no connection between then and now – apart from the fact they were both designed as bluff-sided vans with utility in mind and both stemmed in many ways from smaller Volkswagens.

Looking at today’s Caravelle, it’s hard not to be struck by its size. It might not be a Ford Transit bus, or a Toyota HiAce Commuter, but it’s certainly a lot more vehicle to deal with than MPVs such as a Kia Carnival or Hyundai iMax.
