In 2025, the Volkswagen Caddy emerged as the most registered taxi in Finland, outpacing its competitors by a notable margin with 179 units registered, accounting for an impressive 15.7% market share. This achievement highlights a significant gap between the Caddy and its rivals, with the second-most registered model only achieving 142 units, indicating that the Caddy was recorded 2.5 times more than the third most popular model.

The surge in the Caddy's popularity can be attributed to its versatility, spaciousness, and economic efficiency, as mentioned by the importer. Additionally, a long-standing collaboration between Volkswagen and Finnish bodybuilders has played a crucial role in fostering its success, ensuring that the vehicle meets local needs and preferences. This enduring partnership indicates a strong local industry presence that bolsters the Caddy's reputation among taxi operators.

Nonetheless, the historical collaboration between Volkswagen and Finnish firms, including Carsport and Tamlans, showcases the importance of local craftsmanship in the vehicle's appeal, further solidifying its position in the Finnish taxi market.
