New Volkswagen Kudos Taxi

11/03/2010

Available exclusively from Cab Direct, the all new Volkswagen Kudos™ is set to bring a taste of luxury to the taxi trade with its spacious and stylish interior.

An excellent reputation for quality, reliability and a refined ride are hallmarks of the Volkswagen marque.  Specially adapted from the Caddy Maxi Life, the new Kudos™ combines wheelchair access, superb versatility and masses of space to create the perfect vehicle for the modern day taxi driver.

Auto Option

Driveability of the new Kudos™ taxi is sure to prove a big hit amongst cabbies.  With Volkswagen’s superb 1.9L TDi diesel engine under the bonnet, the Kudos™ cab drives like a dream. 

The large windscreen and electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors give you superb all-round vision, whilst Volkswagen’s reliable engineering and extensive, class leading safety features assure you of a long and trouble free working life.  Plus with the choice of manual or automatic transmission, Kudos™ is the ideal taxi partner, whatever your taste.  With high mileages to cover, taxi drivers will also appreciate the fuel consumption figures of 44.8 mpg (combined) in the manual and 40.4 mpg in the automatic.

Comfort

The Volkswagen Kudos™ taxi provides the comfort, space and practicality to make every journey a rewarding driving experience.  This includes plenty of legroom up front for the driver.  Other comfort features that come as standard with the Kudos taxi include driver’s armrest, electric front windows, climatic air conditioning and a height-adjustable driver’s seat.  The steering column is also rake and reach-adjustable, letting you set-up your cab just as you want it.  

Bags of Space

Your passengers are also ensured a comfortable and relaxing ride.  The sliding side doors make entering and exiting the cab easy whilst the spacious interior compartment provides bags of room for all. 

Where Kudos™ excels is in its superb use of space.  Numerous handy storage areas are particularly useful for busy taxi drivers.  Plus, with Cab Direct’s revolutionary new FlexiFold™ rear access ramp, which folds flat to the floor when not in use, the Kudos™ has unrivalled luggage capacity. 

Access Cab

The all new Kudos™ taxi has been specially adapted to offer quick and easy wheelchair accessibility without compromising on passenger or luggage carrying capacity.  When required, Kudos’ lightweight FlexiFold™ rear access ramp is simply lifted from the floor where it is stowed when not in use, making loading wheelchair passengers quick and easy.  Securing the wheelchair passenger couldn’t be simpler either.  Providing room for driver, wheelchair passenger and up to four seated passengers, Kudos™ is the ideal choice for today’s busy taxi driver.   

Cab Direct sales director, Peter Facenna, comments: “The new Volkswagen Kudos taxi is the perfect vehicle for any taxi driver who is looking for versatility plus a touch of class.  The vehicle drives beautifully and has the high level of specification you’d expect from Volkswagen.” 

Peter continues: “Unlike many other wheelchair accessible taxis available on the market, the Kudos combines wheelchair access with masses of luggage space and the capacity to carry five passengers, including a wheelchair passenger.  This, together with the unique FlexiFold rear access ramp really sets it aside from its competitors."

The Kudos taxi looks set to become a big hit.  For more information, call free on 0800 916 3021, email info@cabdirect.com or click here.
