Volkswagen Caddy Good Life WAV

Low, Flat Floor

A steeply sloping floor, sitting too high or far back in the vehicle can not only be isolating, but also an uncomfortable ride for the wheelchair user. The lowered floor of a Brotherwood® conversion offers a stable, comfortable, natural seating position, for better visibility, inclusion and ride quality.

Spacious Headroom

Our lowered floor allows a huge headroom inside the Caddy Goodlife. As a result the wheelchair user enjoys excellent visibility out of the large windows and windscreen.

Sculptured Seat Profile

Our unique seats enable wheelchair users to travel inclusively next to the rear passengers, making conversation easy and closer to the driver for a smoother ride. The seats are trim matched to the original seats for a flawless factory finish.

4-Point Restraint System

The 4 point restraint system securely and safely acnchors the wheelchair in place for a stable, comfortable ride. The wheelchair occupant is protected by a separate 3-point tested & approved safety belt.

Hook-i PAWRS

The Hook-i PAWRS is a remote-controlled, powered front restraint system, to assist loading a wheelchair and passenger. No pushing required, simply attach the restraints and press the remote control for effortless loading of combined wheelchair and passenger weights up to 250kg.

Optional.

Counterbalanced Ramp

Our custom-built, lightweight ramp is counterbalanced, so that it can be lifted with minimal effort by foot or hand. The angle is shallow to enable easy loading , while long life fittings ensure minimal maintenance and reliable performance for years to come. Finished with a high-traction surface that makes access easy for manual or power chairs.

Halogen Headlights

See clearly in all conditions with the Caddy's Halogen main headlights with range control and daytime running lights.

Air Conditioning

Climatic manually controlled air conditioning with dust and pollen filter and air recirculation features as standard.

Colour DAB+ radio

DAB+ and Bluetooth® as standard, the colour composition 5" touchscreen radio puts cutting-edge infotainment at your fingertips.

Visibility Pack

Including auto-dimming rear-view mirror, rain sensors with automatic wipers and intermittent control

Hill Hold Assist

Fitted as standard, the convenient Hill Hold Assist prevents your vehicle from rolling back when pulling away on an incline. The hold operates for approximately two seconds.

Cruise Control & Speed Limiter

Fitted as standard, cruise control maintains the selected speed, or limits the top speed to a value set by the driver.

Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP)

Designed to prevent the vehicle from swerving in critical driving conditions by controlled and targeted intervention in the brake and engine management. This helps to maximise directional stability.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Aids smooth starts and acceleration by reducing wheel-spin. The system also incorporates the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and makes up part of the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP).

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Optional ACC uses a front radar to measure the distance (up to 120m) and speed relative to vehicles driving ahead. It automatically regulates the pre-set distance. ACC also includes the Front Assist area monitoring system with City Emergency Braking System.

Airbags

Driver and passenger front and curtain airbags are standard for the first time, as are curtain airbags for rear passengers. They offer occupants improved protection in the event of head-on or side impacts.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System

Standard on all Caddy Life models, it triggers braking after a collision, with the aim of preventing secondary collisions.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Designed to prevent wheels from locking up and assist manoeuvrability of the vehicle under heavy braking.

5 Year Warranty

Peace of mind in protecting your investment. Warranty coverage can be transferred to subsequent owners should the vehicle be sold, ensuring that the strong residual values that Brotherwood vehicles benefit from are maximized.
