Its development aimed to provide a cost-effective solution for smaller transport tasks for both private and commercial use. The Volkswagen Caddy 1 featured various engine options and offered a load capacity of up to 700 kg (1,543 pounds), making it a popular choice for craftsmen and small business owners.

The Caddy 1 was available in different markets and also sold under other names like Rabbit Pickup in the USA.

The chrome rims visible in the photos could be a hint that the wheels are a product of a well-known manufacturer and possibly that the Logitech model was fitted by the company Borbet. The detailing of the model is impressive, especially concerning the faithful reproduction of the headlights and taillights that stay true to the proportions and details of the Volkswagen Caddy 1. Even the small details like the license plate inscription "GTI 1978" add authentic accents.
