Expected to have a European market launch next year with a 2021 badge, the Volkswagen Caddy will boast many changes and updates. Although it doesn't look like it, there's some work done on the exterior design and it will feature a new-look front end. We're also seeing some similar design elements to other Volkswagen prototypes that have been doing the rounds.

This particular Volkswagen Caddy was spotted driving around the Arctic Circle, an area well known for winter testing. If a vehicle can survive in these harsh winter temperatures, it's pretty much good for the rest of the world. The 2021 Volkswagen Caddy will be offered in commercial and passenger vehicle applications and we expect it to be powered by a choice of either petrol or diesel engines, but given the Volkswagen Group's aggressive push into the electrification space, we can't rule out a plug-in option.
