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

    The sheer size and bulk of the Caravelle offers plenty of protection, and standard equipment includes ABS anti-lock brakes (essential), twin front, side and head airbags, ASR traction control and an electronic differential lock; ESP and Brake Assist are options. All rear seats have three-point seatbelts, and the outer seats on the rear bench have ISOFIX child seat mounting points. Two integrated child seats are optional, with booster cushions, and a child seat can also be fitted in the front passenger seat (the airbag can be deactivated). Rear curtain airbags are a further option. Security measures include remote central locking with deadlocks, an alarm and immobiliser, child locks and an internal release for the rear tailgate.
