Performance

Highest engine power

Each row is an engine family. Power can differ between the trims and gearboxes listed on that engine page.

Bar length is the highest stored PS for that engine. Brake horsepower is a different unit and is not plotted.

Engine	Generation	Power	Fuel
2.0BITDI 204PS-RDE2	T6	204 PS	Diesel
2.0BITDI 204PS-D	T6	203.8 PS	Diesel

Fastest stored 0–60

These are the best 0–60 figures stored on a generation’s trim groups, not a ranking of every variant.

Generation	Trim group	0–60 mph
T6	mid	9.9 seconds
T6	premium	9.9 seconds
T5.1	mid	11.3 seconds
T5.1	premium	11.3 seconds

Economy

These are the highest official combined mpg ranges stored on each engine. The test cycle is recorded on the variant, so ranges from different cycles are not ranked as one list of winners.

Engine	Generation	Combined mpg range	CO₂ range
2.0TDI 150PS-G	T6	45.6–47.1 mpg	163.5–171 g/km
2.0BITDI 204PS-D	T6	44.8 mpg	164 g/km
2.0 TDI 180PS-D	T5.1	35.8–37.2 mpg	199–214 g/km
2.0 TDI 140PS	T5.1	34.5–36.7 mpg	203–216 g/km

Questions

How many Volkswagen Caravelle cars are in the VehicleScore dataset?

995 cars in our dataset. That is the catalogue sample, not UK sales or production.

Which Caravelle generations are covered?

T3, T4, T5, T5.1, T6

How these figures are produced

Specifications and counts come from the VehicleScore UK vehicle catalogue. A count of cars is the number of records in that dataset. It is not UK production, not sales, and not the number of cars currently on the road.

Power is shown in PS where the catalogue stores PS, and in bhp only where bhp is stored separately. Official fuel economy is labelled NEDC or WLTP when the test cycle is known. Figures from different cycles are not ranked together. Empty values are left blank.

The catalogue does not store a revision date, so these pages do not show a last-updated day.
