Verdict

These business versions of large commercial vehicle based MPVs really are a terrific way to travel. And the Volkswagen Caravelle Business 2.0 BiTDI 180PS DSG is no exception. The miles just drop away and you’ll step out feeling comfortable, fresh and ready for that business meeting or presentation.

They are also a brilliant way to transport your colleagues to meetings rather than have six separate company cars attend – so it saves on fuel, driver tiredness and so on, and is a genuine alternative to the train for ‘working on the move’. Even better, you have a ready-made meeting room when you arrive. So if you regularly need to take a bunch of your colleagues to presentations this is a very handy way to do it.

If you wanted one as a posh MPV for your company car, well it’s a very refined, business class way to transport them. Although a very expensive way to do it, admittedly.

There are signs that Volkswagen Caravelle Business is based on a vehicle that is due for replacement, that’s true – small items such as Bluetooth connectivity or mp3 player control, as well as those below par cupholders – but the car still makes a relaxing, and brilliant business express.
