Everyone thinks they need a seven-seat SUV. But what if you could have a seven-seater that wasn't an SUV at all? And it wasn't a big van like the Kia Carnival, either?

Meet the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi people mover - it's a van with seven seats and the beating heart of a VW Golf. It's built off the same platform as the Mk 8 Golf, and has lots of Golf-ness to the way it drives.

Richard Berry spent a week with the VW Caddy people mover to see how it stacks up as a family car. Unlike a few other big name seven-seater SUVs, like the Kia Sorento, Toyota Kluger and others - there are airbags that cover all three rows. And you can even remove the back seats if you want to use it like a Caddy Cargo van!

So, does it make sense? Are the dual sliding side doors as good as you'd think? And would you pay almost $50K for a car that doesn't have LED headlights?

Richard tells you his thoughts in this detailed review video that focuses on carrying your most precious cargo - your family. Don't forget, he's also done a written story about it - the link is below.
