New generation VW Transporter revealed


The new generation of Volkswagen's Transporter has been revealed and will be part of a pre-sales campaign in Ireland towards the end of this year, writes Brian Byrne.

Along with the Caravelle people carrier, the new Transporter will be available in diesel, plug-in hybrid, and electric drive. Diesels will be available in three power options, from 110-170hp. The electric versions will start with 64kWh battery and three power options, and there will later be a smaller battery version for urban deliveries use.

The seventh generation Transporter will have more space and payload and a greater towing capacity than the outgoing T6.1.

LED main and tail lights will be standard, as will be an electronic parking brake and fully digital instruments.

More specification details and pricing coming closer to the launch.
