7 Speed DSG
Rear View Camera with Park Distance Control
The standard rear view camera displays a live picture on your console screen that shows what’s behind you. The Park Distance Control feature beeps when obstacles are detected behind you when you’re parking, as well as provides a visual display of the vehicle’s distance from said obstacles. They come together to help make reversing safer and easier.
*Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility of the vehicle.

Exterior
While the Caravelle may be purpose-built for practicality, that doesn’t mean it’s not easy on the eye. Especially if you upgrade it with the optional 17" alloy wheels, dual halogen headlights, rear privacy glass and front fog lights with static cornering function.
Interior
With four, five, six, seven or nine seats the Caravelle’s unique seating concept lets you customise the interior for up to 9 people and luggage. The modular seat mounting system in the Caravelle allows the removal of any of the rear seats to easily expand luggage space. The second and third row bench seats include ISOFIX and top tether anchors for child seats
Driver Fatigue detection
This potentially life-saving system continually evaluates steering movements and other independent signals, and if fatigue is detected, warns the driver with an alarm, and on the console display recommends the driver takes a break.
*Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility of the vehicle.
Multi-collision brake
When the airbag sensors detect a collision, this state-of-the-art system applies the brakes to slow the vehicle to 10km/h, so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and brake lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.
Hill Start Assist
This intelligent feature allows you to make a hill start without the vehicle rolling back. If you’re on an incline greater than 5 per cent, the system will hold your car stationary for 1.5 seconds after the foot brake is released by temporarily locking the brake pressure.
Electronic Differential Lock
When a difference in driving wheel speed is detected, that is when one wheel spins more than the other due to water or dirt, the system brakes the spinning wheel, transferring engine power to the wheel with the best traction.
TDI340
The TD1340 is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine that produces 103kW of power at 3500rpm and, 1750-2500rpm delivered from 340Nm of torque*.
*Fuel consumption figures according to Australia Design Rule (ADR) 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures which generally differ from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
Direct-shift gearbox (DSG)
The 7-speed dual clutch gearbox DSG permits fully automatic, almost imperceptible gear changing with no interruption in power flow, which results in significantly increased driving comfort as well as better fuel consumption than changing gears manually. You can choose between normal and sport mode.
BlueMotion Technology
BlueMotion Technology lowers fuel consumption and reduces emissions. It comes from our ‘Think Blue.’ concept: to develop fuel-efficient vehicles that place less burden on the environment over their entire lifetime.
Stop/Start System
Part of BlueMotion technology, this money-saving feature automatically stops the engine when you come to a standstill; and starts again on take-off, helping you cut back on fuel consumption.
Flexibility
Shuttle up to nine people in this super practical people mover. The modular system enables seats to be easily repositioned. The double-folding 3-seater bench is especially handy and can be removed to expand the luggage space in a matter of moments. The top tether anchor points as well as ISOFIX anchor points on all second and third row seats make it ideal for those with large families or businesses needing to transfer lots of people safely.
