For a concise overview of the interior and exterior of the VW Transporter, please have a look at our Youtube video below:
Its consistent sales alone are enough of an indication that Volkswagen has a surefire winner in its VW Transporter 6.1 Range. In total, it has clocked up over 12 million units in sales and has a strong legacy that spans 70 years. Three variants comprise the Transporter range:
This workhouse is built to move bulky loads and people. It is therefore naturally geared to be as durable as possible. It is not technically required to venture down the road of innovation and design, but it is here where Volkswagen has the edge.
The latest additions to the VW Transporter family enjoy a welcome recrafted front end and interior, proving that your practical workhorse can have a makeover and still perform better than ever.
One of the most impressive aspects, when we peruse the exterior of the Transporter family, is the array of colours that this range is available in. The Crew Bus variant in particular has a wide array of metallic paint finishes, from Copper Bronze to Ravenna Blue. Solid paint finishes are even available in Cherry Red and Candy White. These finishes add an element of personality to the VW Crew Bus. Additional highlights include the newly fitted H7 twin halogen headlamps and a fixed tow bar.
The recognizable VW Transporter 6.1 Panel Van has also enjoyed a redesigned front end. It is an extremely adaptable variant, with up to two roof heights available. This is dependent on the loading space that a consumer may need. Panel Van models are also available with optional 16” Clayton Alloy Wheels.
The powerful VW Transporter 6.1 Cab Range (Single and Double) comes equipped with a long wheelbase and impressive dimensions. The Single Cab in particular has a load length of 2 939 mm load length, whilst the Double Cab measures up with a 2 169 load length. The range comes standard with steel wheels.
All models that are part of the VW Transporter 6.1 Range have been kitted out with modern finishes that are a wonderful blend of innovation and comfortability. A newly crafted dashboard provides excellent visibility, while useful features such as App Connect and Bluetooth enhance the driving experience.
A highlight of the Transporter 6.1 Crew Bus would have to be its versatility. The seating configurations are plentiful and help this model adjust to the needs of its driver. The fact that some of the seats are removable means that the Crew Bus can combine the functions of the Panel Van with its own.
The Transporter 6.1 Panel Van is the ideal choice when it comes to your business requirements. It has a great deal of load room and will appeal to those who require more space. This is particularly evident with the inclusion of the two-part stowage system.
On the other hand, the Transporter 6.1 Cab Range will stand out to drivers who require that their workhorse come equipped with a generous payload allowance. This variant offers a weight of up to 2.5 tons.
