Estimated prices by model year, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Volkswagen e-Caravelle L2 160 kW 64 kWh is a 7-seat van-based people carrier with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2025 to 2026, when it cost £61,577 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.6 seconds, slower than 78% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 155 miles (250 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 27th of 38 van-based people carriers.
It uses around 2.4 mi/kWh (255 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 63.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 75 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 153 miles (247 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £35,100–£40,000 and a 2026 one at £35,100–£40,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 152 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
