Highlights
Get on board, get on top of your daily routine, make an impression
The new Multivan in half-profile.
Versatile as always, more distinctive than ever – the new Caravelle eHybrid: the redesigned front apron sharpens its appearance and, together with the new exterior colours, puts it confidently in the spotlight. The revised LED headlights blend harmoniously with the fresh face, complemented by new 17-inch wheels that add even more road presence. In this way, it brings more style to everything you set out to do – from everyday family life to use as a mobile office.
Time to fall in love all over again
Visually, the Caravelle eHybrid’s clear, timeless shape follows in the footsteps of its ancestors – but also reinterprets the classic design. The two IQ.Light LED matrix headlights and the backlit step create a striking impression at the front. The striking two-tone finish is available on the Caravelle eHybrid for the first time, and is also a real eye-catcher. Also new is the 30-colour background lighting. It shows the interior in a completely new light.
Functionality that you can get excited about
One of the main strengths of the Caravelle eHybrid are the folding individual seats in the passenger compartment, which are 25 percent lighter and can be removed in a few easy steps. This makes it even faster to set up specific seating arrangements. Whether face-to-face with the multifunction table in the middle, with all seats facing in the direction of travel or with the exterior seats removed for transporting bikes, only a few steps are needed to set up the vehicle interior just how you like it.
High quality for every journey
In the Caravelle eHybrid, you can feel just as comfortable in the city as you are on the highway, with only 12.1m turning circle. It increases the height of the passenger compartment by a further 34 mm. It is now even easier to load up and climb into the vehicle. Both the electric sliding doors and the electrically operated rear lid can be opened using a foot gesture – without taking the key out of your pocket. “Keyless Advanced” and “Easy Open” make it possible.
First plug-in Hybrid : for your everyday adventures
The new Caravelle eHybrid brings together either a 85kW electric motor and a 130 kW 1.5 TSI engine, to enjoy the flexibility of combined power. An adventure in the mountains, a zero-CO2 local drive to work, or a spontaneous family outing; the new Caravelle eHybrid will take you almost everywhere.
With 4MOTION all-wheel drive, traction and control are always on your side, and you’ve got a towing capacity of up to 1,570 kg for extra versatility. Charging couldn’t be easier, simply plug in to a home charging wall box overnight for a full charge in around five and a half hours.
All-wheel power for the real outdoor experience
End of the road? Not for the new Caravelle eHybrid; it’ll take you down dirt roads and across mountainous terrain. Slippery roads, gravel tracks or muddy meadows? No problem. The powerful petrol engine, along with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive, which engages the fully electric rear axle automatically when required, ensure traction and control. That way you’ll stay on track even when the weather and ground conditions prove difficult, for example when it rains in summer. If the battery should run out, the petrol engine assists by functioning as a generator, providing the necessary energy for the all-wheel drive. That means you have all-wheel drive whenever you need it!
And what about your outdoor equipment? The flexible individual seats in the interior are quick to move or take out. This way you can make more room in no time – whether for your mountain bike or your surfing board. Just pack up your family and friends: the Caravelle eHybrid is ready when action and adventure call.
Make your way through town quietly and arrive at your destination in a climate-conscious way
A typical morning: you get in the vehicle and the new Caravelle eHybrid glides through city traffic – it’s all-electric and emits zero CO2 whilst driving. With an all-electric range of over 90 km, your commute to the office and back is stress-free – environmentally friendly and quiet too. Ideal for short journeys. Simply connect your Caravelle eHybrid to a home charging station such as the ID. Charger and it will fully charge overnight. The combustion engine engages on longer journeys; electric in town, petrol on the motorway – versatile and efficient. And if your day demands more… the flexible individual rear seats are quick to fold down, move or take out altogether, creating more space in no time at all – whether for a big shopping trip or for removal boxes. The Caravelle eHybrid effortlessly adapts to your everyday urban life.
Driving fun meets family adventure
On the road together: the new Caravelle eHybrid brings your family together – and to almost any destination. Short journeys such as trips to the countryside, holiday shopping trips or driving with the kids to a football match – can be made electrically and in the form of environmentally friendly mobility. Charge the battery overnight with a home charging station such as the ID. Charger or a public charging station – and start up the next morning fully electric once again. No vacant charging station in sight? The petrol engine and numerous modern assist systems help you to remain flexible and relaxed on long journeys. Up to seven people fit comfortably into the Caravelle eHybrid. The individual seats in the passenger compartment can be arranged flexibly or removed in just a few simple steps, quickly making more room for bicycles, luggage or sports equipment. While your children sit and play opposite each other in the vis-à-vis arrangement, you have your hands free for meetings or meals at the multifunctional table. And what about entertainment? Simply stream your favourite music or podcasts in the vehicle for the perfect travel soundtrack.
Equipment highlights
In its clear, timeless design, the Caravelle eHybrid builds on the look of its predecessors while reinterpreting the classic design. You can request a striking two-tone paint finish. But, as always, it is on the inside that the seventh generation of the Caravelle eHybrid really impresses: With increased variability and functionality and the innovative individual seat comfort and driving convenience, you will enjoy your journey even more, while the 30-colour background lighting creates an atmosphere of well-being.
More Colour in Your LIfe
The Caravelle eHybrid is available in eleven colours and three colour combinations. Available for the first time: the three optional metallic colours Medium Blue, Mono Silver and Energetic Orange as well as the optional two-tone combinations Deep Black Pearl Effect / Fortana Red Metallic and Mono Silver Metallic / Energetic Orange Metallic.
Well Rounded
In addition to the colours, the choice of wheels plays a decisive role. Combining these in the right way gives the Caravelle eHybrid a completely individual character. Sporty, elegant or powerful: there are steel wheels and several alloy wheels to choose from.
Seeing and Being Seen
Only LED headlights and LED tail light clusters are installed in the Caravelle eHybrid. As a special highlight, the Caravelle eHybrid Style features IQ.Light LED matrix headlights with dynamic headlight range control and an integrated LED light strip between the headlights.
Easy Entry
The Caravelle eHybrid opens all doors to you. Some of them automatically, even. For example, both sliding doors and the rear lid can be unlocked simply by using a foot gesture with the vehicle key in your pocket. This is especially useful if you are standing by the vehicle with both hands full of shopping that you want to put away. This requires the Easy Open function in combination with electric sliding doors or electrically operated rear lid.
A Great Place to Sit
You sit high up in the Caravelle eHybrid. At 87.2 cm, to be precise. This not only means getting in and out is easy, but it also gives you an excellent view. And there’s even more headroom and legroom. You’ll appreciate this especially on long trips or if you often have to get in and out of the vehicle when using it every day. The Caravelle eHybrid is also even more comfortable in other ways. Both front seats adapt perfectly to the shape of your body and can be adjusted in height, length and inclination. The seats in the Caravelle eHybrid are also equipped with comfortable armrests and additional functions.
