The precise steering and well-tuned chassis ensure stable road holding, while the compact dimensions make maneuvering easier. There are differences in ride comfort depending on the model and chassis: while the Fiat Ducato and the Peugeot Boxer score points with their proven front-wheel drive and optional automatic transmission, the Ford Transit offers a particularly comfortable suspension. One exception is the CV590 4×4 ED25, which is the only model in the series to be equipped with all-wheel drive, making it ideal for difficult terrain. The axle load distribution is optimally balanced to ensure safe and stable handling, even when fully loaded.

Safety is a top priority in the Carado CV series.
