Euro NCAP performs a series of safety tests focusing on the crash avoidance technologies of light commercial vehicles.
Active safety is tested based on the van’s equipment: Autonomous Emergency Braking Systems (Car-to-Car, Pedestrian, and Cyclist scenarios), lane support and speed assist technologies, and Occupant Status Monitoring (Attention Assist and Seatbelt Reminders).
Tested here is the VW Caddy Cargo - Cargo Commerce TDI, LHD.
The Caddy name has been around for decades, referring to several generations of VW commercial vehicles. The vehicle tested here is the [third] [fourth] generation, in diesel form. A new version is coming soon which promises better performance than this one but even as it is the Caddy offers a lot of safety equipment, some of it as standard, and performs well. A Gold medal is well-deserved and reflects VW's policy of keeping their models up-to-date when it comes to safety.
