  • Road Test: Volkswagen Caravelle (2004-)
    Large MPV by: Farah AlKhalisi
    Volkswagen Caravelle (04- )
    PERFORMANCE RATING:

    Well, this is no sports car (obviously) but the 130bhp and 174bhp diesel engines tested so far are strong, willing and more than adequate for pulling this huge heavy vehicle along. The 130bhp model may be less than inspiring with a full load on board, however, though it feels quicker than its official 0-60mph time of 15.3 seconds suggests. Both versions cruise easily on the motorway, and have plenty of mid-range torque (pulling power) for steaming up steep hills and for overtaking.
