Volkswagen Caddy Alltrack Revealed Ahead of its Frankfurt Debut

Kuala Lumpur: Volkswagen has given its smallest van an off-road makeover in the shape of Caddy Alltrack which is based on the previous generation Cross Caddy. This car is also set to make a debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. It shares the same platform with other Alltrack-badged members of the Volkswagen lineup like the Passat and the Golf SportWagen. Like its predecessor, it would be made available both in the passenger car and panel van formats.

On to the exterior, it has gained black trim panels on the wheel arches, underbody cladding, side sills and bumpers. Its radiator grille receives three chrome fins along with Alltrack logo.
