If you're in the market for a car that's spacious and holds up to seven people, then a used Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life is a great choice. Designed purely as a people mover, there's no lack of space inside the Caddy Maxi Life. Its well-designed interior layout offers flexibility, and being a Volkswagen, its generously equipped as standard.
The newest lineup has three engine options – petrol or diesel. There's the option of a manual or an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive.
PetrolAs a people mover, the VW Caddy Maxi Life is one of the most practical used cars you can buy. With seven seats, space for a large family and room for luggage too, this Volkswagen is ready for anything you can throw at it.
Interior spaceWhile Volkswagen has been building the Caddy model for several generations, the Maxi Life wasn't introduced until 2007, during the third generation. This longer-wheelbase people carrier has now entered its second generation (the fifth for the Caddy), and it benefits from some updated tech features.
With the new generation, the Caddy became the first commercial vehicle from VW to use the same platform as the Volksagen Golf. The switch allowed for more passenger-focused layout and additional space.
Multiple powertrains still exist, with options between petrol and diesel. The interior has also been updated to be more car-like and less van-oriented, with options for a touchscreen display of up to 10 inches.
The third-generation Caddy was released in 2003, with the Maxi Life debuting in 2007. The underpinnings were created by combining parts from the Touran and the Golf MKV with a rear suspension meant for a lighter utility vehicle. The front design also resembled the Touran, while a driver's side rear sliding door was added to offer better accessibility.
A mild refresh in 2010 brought new headlights and a black grille. The 1.4-litre gas engine was replaced with a 1.2-litre option, ensuring more efficiency. The 1.9-litre diesel was also retired and swapped with a 1.6-litre TDI.

The 2.0-litre diesel engine and manual gearbox is the most popular engine and transmission combination. This is thanks to its fantastic blend of fuel economy and performance.
The Maxi Life is technically a trim level or model of the wider Caddy lineup. There aren't any other trims to choose from, with VW offering customisation with various engines and features.
Customers should look out for a sliding door on the rear driver's side, but there's also an available one for the passenger's side, making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle for rear passengers. There are also various accessibility options, with an available rear axle that's specially designed for wheelchair access.
For large families, the VW Caddy Maxi Life is a great option because there's space for seven people to fit comfortably. It also makes a good vehicle for groups or business travel. Various entertainment and comfort features improve the driving experience.
No, Volkswagen hasn't built the Caddy Maxi Life with a hybrid engine yet. For now, VW only offers the Caddy Maxi Life as a petrol or diesel.
Yes, there is an automatic gearbox that can be found with some used Caddy Maxi Life models. It's also the most abundant transmission on the used market, but there are plenty of manual models as well.
No, Volkswagen hasn't produced the Caddy Maxi Life with four-wheel drive capability. All models include front-wheel drive, which is common for this segment.
