Bellroy Desk Caddy (tech Organizer) - Black

Product Information

COMPACT SIZE - FITS ANYWHERE: The Tech Caddy Wall Outlet Shelf holder measures only 5" x 4.5", making it extremely compact, lightweight, and perfect for smaller spaces. Place it anywhere you need to create extra space for your smart devices, electronic gadgets, and other appliances and gain a shelf instantly. The flip side to this is that when driving on country lanes, the lane-keeping system is almost constantly nibbling at the steering, as if it’s ever so slightly wired on caffeine. You’ll even find it practically guiding you round the corners on occasion. It seems that every time we go to drive one of these, the weather serves us up a damp and greasy day. But this only highlights how impressively the Caddy is able to find grip and deliver traction in these conditions.

A 1.5-litre TSI turbo petrol is also available in the UK with 114hp / 220Nm. This brings even better engine refinement, has easily enough muscle for moderate payloads and will be the most fun to drive if you're enthusiatic behind the wheel. BlueMotion cars would often be fitted with improved catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters for lower emissions, while using turbochargers for the engines could also reduce fuel use. Having ‘taller’ ratios for the top two gears of the gearbox also reduced fuel use by reducing the revs the engine would sit at when cruising.

A stop/start system automatically shuts down the engine when the car is stationary and then automatically restarts it when pulling away. Switching off the engine while stationary reduces fuel use, emissions and noise. Modern cars now come with stop/start by default, but it was a relatively new technology when VW started using it under the BlueMotion name. 2) Energy recuperation Inside, there are six lashing rings (eight in the Caddy Maxi) and the addition of new solid axles has meant that the maximum payload is 736kg. It doesn’t make it the class leader - the Transit Connect will shift up to 1000kg - but the Caddy is a good all-rounder . What You Should Know: It takes a little time to remember which zipper opens the bag and which splits the bottom open. We Connect Plus adds useful features such as an additional anti-theft alarm system, Online Traffic Information and - perhaps less usefully - media streaming.

The 122PS engine exclusively comes with the 4Motion all-wheel drive system, making the Caddy feel particularly surefooted on the road. The top 150PS engine is the one to go for if a lot of towing is on the cards. Its 340Nm of torque arrives at 1,750rpm thus ensuring enough pulling power to haul up to 1,500kg. Unhitched from a load this engine gives the Caddy a top speed of 125mph and a 0-62mph time of 9.2 seconds, illustrating its performance. The new fourth generation Caddy may appear to be just a facelifted model at first glance, but Volkswagen has made some significant changes beyond the aesthetics. An all-new interior further bolsters the Caddy’s position of being one of the best in its class when it comes to quality and driver comfort. Well, it hasn’t done the rival Stellantis vans any harm, and the Volkswagen MQB platform is nothing if not adaptable – you’ll find it under everything from the VW Golf through to some of the firm’s biggest SUVs, not to mention the Audi TT sports car.

Six-speed manual gearbox as standard, DSG auto and 4Motion optional

The “Classic” pouch from Bellroy is honestly anything but. Offered up in a bunch of different colorways and materials, from sustainably harvested wood pulp and cotton offcuts to recycled PET bottles, this pouch has a unique look and feel unlike any other material I’ve handled. Couple this with my favorite design accessory for ANY use (magnets!) and you get a pretty solid little pouch that also looks fantastic.

The important thing is that you remain fully confident when driving it loaded, and the Caddy Cargo gives you this confidence in abundance. Active steering assistance Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. The Caddy Cargo gets the standard Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles warranty, which covers it for three years / 100,000 miles, whichever is sooner. VW Caddy Cargo service intervals Other items worth mentioning include the built-in eSIM, which enables a bunch of connectivity services and allows the Caddy to automatically make ‘eCalls’ to the emergency services in the event of an accident. And for the first time, the Caddy is available with VW’s Trailer Assist system, which makes reversing with a trailer so easy even we can do it. You know that mess of charging cables you have shamefully stuffed in the bottom of a drawer or clumped in your bag somewhere? They need to go in this. It’s a double-sided pouch for literally everyone reading this because I know that you have that terrible cluster-freak of cables that needs to be tamed. Read this, then get your life together.All Caddy Cargos are front-wheel drive (FWD) as standard, but UK buyers are able to option the 122hp with 4Motion four-wheel drive. Why We Like It: They come in various sizes so that you can organize your gear in different pouches. At the time of writing (March 2021), Volkswagen is quoting a claimed 57.6mpg across almost all of the Caddy 5 diesel range. That's a useful 8mpg improvement over the model it replaces, not always a given with the additional emissions control technology of the latest engines. But even so, processes that should be simple, such as changing the settings for the ventilation system, now require much more attention from you than they would with a physical set of controls. It’s also not going to be as easy to deal with if you’ve got gloves on (touchscreen-compatible gloves will still be clumsy). It really does feel much more like driving a car than a conventional van. Sharper steering, better cornering

And it can easily be switched off via a menu in the central touchscreen that’s swiftly accessed by pressing one of the few remaining physical buttons (more on this in the Interior section below). What are the new diesel engines like? These systems also allow 'over-the-air' updates. Which means the Caddy can receive software updates without visiting a dealer on the one hand, but on the other also opens up the possibility of selling add-ons to the van that can be activated remotely as well. Let’s deal with the touch-buttons first, a cluster of which replaces the traditional dial for the lighting controls and some of the window-clearing heating functions. This gearbox is only available on top-spec Commerce Pro models – Commerce and Commerce Plus limits you to the manual gearbox only. The exceptions are for the seven-speed DSG automatic transmission, which claims 54.3mpg, and the highest specification models, which are down just over 1mpg due to the changes in standard equipment (including the wheels).Why We Like It: You can see all your gear in front of you and access it on your desk while it’s still in the pouch. However, you should pay attention to exactly what's included for your money. Features you might now expect - such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - are often an optional extra. VW Caddy mpg
