Volkswagen Caddy Cargo (2020 on) dimensions
Caddy 5 (2020-present)
Published exterior dimensions for all 2 Volkswagen Caddy Cargo (2020 on) panel van sizes, with the wheelbase, the load floor height, the maximum internal load width and height, and the unladen weight you start a conversion from. Every size below can be loaded into the free 3D planner.
The Caddy 5 is the Caddy Volkswagen has sold since 2020, a new generation rather than a facelift: it moved onto the Golf's MQB platform, and the body grew wider, to 1,855 mm. VanCAD models the Caddy Cargo panel van on both wheelbases, 4,498 mm and 4,851 mm long, and as on the Caddy before it the Maxi's extra 353 mm all goes into the load floor: 2,150 mm behind the bulkhead against 1,797 mm, which is the difference between a bed along the van and a bed across it. At 1,823 mm and 1,827 mm tall either body is a sit-in camper, over a load floor 589 mm off the ground on the short one.

How to read these figures
Kerb weights are researched from published manufacturer data, read on 5 August 2026. Basis: 2.0 TDI 102 PS diesel, FWD, low roof.
Kerb weight (curb weight in North America) is the unladen mass in running order (all fluids, a 90% full fuel tank and a 75 kg driver), for a base-specification panel van. It is researched and approximate: a real van with options fitted will weigh more, and VanCAD lets you edit the figure on your own design.
Load length is the manufacturer's published floor length behind the bulkhead, measured at floor level in the bare van. Lining, battens and a false floor all take from it, and the figure says nothing about the height or width available above it.
Interior figures are the manufacturer's published load length at floor, maximum internal load width and maximum internal load height, where available. These are before conversion: lining, insulation and flooring reduce usable space, and maximum dimensions do not apply everywhere inside the van. Check your own vehicle before cutting or building. VanCAD's traced interior shapes are illustrative and are never used as published measurements.

VanCAD models the mainstream panel van bodies and drive layouts for each van, not every factory option. A maker may also sell four-wheel-drive, chassis-cab or crew-van versions that are not listed here, so anything on this page about which layouts a van comes in describes the versions VanCAD offers rather than the maker's full range.
