7 Speed DSG
Make an impression
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.
Spacious and flexible
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
See what's behind you, in front of you
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.

Slide into convenience
Equipped with a number of electronic trapping protectors, the optional sliding doors are easy to operate using either the remote control, a button in driver’s cab, or the handle. (Option available with power latching tailgate).
The apps from your phone in your car
Control your smartphone’s screen, selected apps, maps, and music through App-Connect on your console’s touchscreen or Voice Control – using Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ interfaces. (Optionally available with Composition Media or Discover Media radio).
1App-Connect is compatible for selected apps with the latest smartphone versions of iOS and Android, active data service, and connection cable (sold separately)
Infotainment on command
With Voice Control you can control your phone, navigation, and audio with your voice – without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
(Only available with Discover Media radio system).
Upgrade to entertainment at your command
Or you can upgrade to ‘Composition Media’ system, which comes with a bigger 16.5 cm TFT colour display and proximity sensor on the touch screen, as well as everything else the Composition Colour system offers.
Always head in the right direction
The Discover Media navigation system has a second integrated SD-card slot which is compatible with the SD-card with the map data.
A Welcome wake-up call
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.

Prevent follow-on collisions
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.
It`s all uphill from here, in a good way
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.
Never lose control around corners
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.
Oomph as standard

Getting around easily
The 7-speed dual clutch 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.
Better for your engine and your wallet
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.
Pulls out all the stops on economy
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.
Adaptable to the nines
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.
