Van insurance customers considering buying a new model may want to take a look at a couple of award-winning vehicles from Volkswagen.

The Caddy was highly commended in the Light Van of the Year category at this year's What Van? honours and the Caddy Maxi received the title of Editor's Choice.

Interested parties will find the latter vehicle has a load volume of 4.2 cubed metres and a maximum payload of 800 kg.

Buyers can purchase an entry-level model for £12,650.

Alternatively, the Caddy offers loadspace of 3.2 cubed metres and up to 724 kg of payload.

Prices start at £10,750.

Commenting on the recent accolades, Simon Elliot, a spokesman for the manufacturer, said: "We're delighted that two more Volkswagen vans have received award recognition."

He stated: "This is good news for us, our customers and our van centres."

Meanwhile, Volkswagen recently unveiled the second-generation Golf Plus at the Bologna Motor Show in Italy.
