Maybe not a Caddy after all

Yes, the caddy has a solid rear axle in the sense that it's solid support beam - but this one has a rear differential and half shafts.

WCF, thank you very much for writing so much about the South American-market VW lineup! Very few English-language websites do so.
Most South American "aventureiros" (Idea, Palio and Doblò Adventure, CrossFox, 206 Escapade and C3 X-TR) are just regular cars with accessories and front-wheel drive. Since VW decided to develop a truly Gol range, this is a good chance for them to release a true EcoSport-rivalling off-roader.
But I doubt the Saveiro will ever get four-wheel drive.

This is not a Saveiro's mule. It´s a "New Kombi´s" mule, probably with longitudinal front engine, but 2WD. That ancient Kombi (VW Van or else, it doesn´t exist outside Brazil anymore) has a constant market in Brazil, in spite of the project´s age. Those Korean vans were best-sellers in Brazil before Asia Motors and Kia Besta finished production. But VW Kombi is still here, now with a rear water-cooled engine.
