Volkswagen Caravelle

The 2019 Volkswagen Caravelle 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Tech 199 Executive DSG represents the pinnacle of premium large passenger carriers in the UK automotive market, blending the immense practicality of a commercial vehicle ancestry with the luxury and mechanical refinement of an executive saloon. Built on the highly regarded T6 platform, this particular five-door premium model addresses the needs of high-end airport transfers, luxury corporate hospitality, and large families who refuse to compromise on build quality or performance. The 199 designation represents the top-tier power output available for the 2019 model year, ensuring effortless performance even when fully loaded with its maximum capacity of passengers and heavy luggage. Step past the illuminated entry steps through the standard twin electric-sliding side doors to find a masterclass in flexible cabin packaging. The Executive trim replaces the basic surfaces of lower models with premium materials, wrapping the standard seven-seat layout in exquisite Nappa leather upholstery. The defining feature of the interior is the innovative floor-mounted rail system which houses two independent captain's chairs in the second row that can rotate a full 360 degrees to face the rear three-seat bench. A clever multi-function table pops up and slides along these same rails to create an on-the-go mobile boardroom or dining area for family road trips. For further relaxation, the rear bench can slide forwards to maximise boot space or flatten entirely into a temporary bed layout. Occupant comfort is managed by a sophisticated three-zone Climatronic climate control system featuring an extra evaporator and roof-level ventilation strips, giving rear passengers total control over their local environment. The driving position offers a commanding view of the road ahead from heated comfort seats equipped with adjustable dual armrests and lumbar supports. The dashboard comes heavily upgraded over standard panel van variants, boasting a sophisticated piano black fascia insert and an automated auto-dimming rearview mirror.
