Service intervals are variable, depending on driving style, with a maximum of 18, miles or two years between check-ups. Fixed-price monthly service contracts are available from VW dealers. As VW offers two body lengths and three roof heights, the Transporter overlaps with the largest Caddy and the smallest Crafter in terms of internal load volume, with capacities rising from 5.
Plus, in addition to the Kombi versions and dedicated minibus range, the van is available as a single or double-chassis cab, allowing customers to add a range of bodies, such as tippers and dropside pick-ups.
The regular Transporter van is compact enough to make driving easy around town, yet the boxy dimensions allow short-wheelbase models to swallow two Europallets and longer models to take three. The low mm floor height compares well with the Ford Transit Custom mm and Mercedes Vito mm.
It's money well spent, though, protecting the driver and passenger from loads and reducing noise from the rear of the van when driving.
Access to the load space is easy, thanks to twin rear doors or an optional tailgate on the Kombi, plus a sliding side door. The Transporter can carry ,kg in payload, although it's worth noting that T30 Kombi vans with 4MOTION all-wheel drive have a payload of less than 1,kg, so customers won't be able to reclaim VAT on these models. An electronic stability programme is standard on all versions of the Volkswagen Transporter.
This system works through the ABS brakes and TCS traction control system to reduce the chance of slipping or skidding in the van. All models come with daytime running lights, driver and passenger airbags and central deadlocking.
Volkswagen claims that the larger of the two batteries will offer a driving range of over miles. The T6. VW continues to offer the Transporter in two wheelbases, with three roof heights and four gross vehicle weights, delivering load volumes of 5. Transporter model names are derived from the 2,kg T26 , 2,kg T28 , 3,kg T30 and 3,kg T32 gross vehicle weight options.
The biggest payload of 1,kg is carried by the T32 TDI short wheelbase model while the biggest load volume of 9. The short wheelbase model has a maximum load length of 2,mm, which rises to 2,mm in the long wheelbase.
Maximum internal height is 1,mm in the low roof van, rising to 1,mm in the medium roof and 1,mm in the high roof model. All Transporters have a gap between the rear wheel arches of 1,mm and the long-wheelbase ones can take three Euro pallets. You can also have the Transporter in a double cab Kombi configuration, with two wheelbase options and two seating layouts.
Load volumes for these variants are 3. Details for the new all-electric Transporter are yet to be revealed, but Volkswagen is promising a payload of almost 1,kg. You get the usefully square shape with minimal wheelarch intrusion plus the choice of either a lifting tailgate or side-hinged rear doors.
The long wheelbase models can be ordered with side hinges that allow opening to degrees for better access and wide-opening sliding side doors are available across the range.
The Volkswagen Transporter has always been at the forefront of van safety tech, but the facelifted T6. Adaptive cruise control, automatic post-collision braking, high-beam assist, hill-start assist, front assist with city emergency braking, driver alert and trailer stabilisation are all carried over from the T6. Now, however, driver steering recommendation and crosswind assist first seen on the Crafter are also present on the Transporter.
Park assist can be added for those spending a lot of time squeezing into tight spaces, while regular motorway users can benefit from lane-keeping assist. Side protection sensors, trailer assist, traffic sign recognition and rear traffic alert can also be found on the options list. Making for one of the most comprehensive arsenals of driver assistance aids on any van.
The Transporter continues to be a hugely impressive performer on the road, particularly in terms of its ride comfort. We tested a series of models with light loads on board and all served up a smooth ride while taking the edge off the bigger bumps and potholes. The switch from hydraulic power steering to the electro-mechanical set-up has had little impact on the driving experience with the van responding smartly to inputs on the open road while feeling generally stable and relaxing to drive.
You get a commanding view of the road and easy access, with the main controls all well-positioned once you are inside. Performance is pretty good across the line-up, so much so that light-duty, low mileage users should not dismiss the 89bhp TDI 90 model out of hand.
The mph sprint takes At the top of the range, the BiTDI engine is a brute with bhp, Nm and a hot hatch worrying mph time of 5. A great fit in the Caravelle and California models, it has the pace to turn the standard Transporter into one of the quickest panel vans on the road.
All models get a large infotainment screen giving the interior a striking appearance and VW has taken steps to improve the storage options even further. The range kicks off with the basic Composition Colour, which is still a cut above those found elsewhere in the mid-sized panel van class, but step up to Discover Media or top-spec Discover Pro and the cabin is transformed.
Nevertheless, the analogue dials you do get do their job well, with the small centre screen still displaying the extra info you need. Connectivity is also a big part of the T6. As explained above, from early , the Transporter has only been available to buy new in the UK with a choice of Low and High roof options, as pictured. However, since a Medium roof option was initially available at launch, we have listed the dimensions for these versions in the table below as well.
Note: if reading on a smartphone, you many need to rotate the screen sideways to view the entire table below. The facelifted Transporter has some slightly different dimensions due to changes to the engines - the ones to watch out for are the very minor increase in length and a slight increase in height for High roof models. Again, we've listed the details of the Medium roof models in addition to the Low and High versions, even though the Medium roof was discontinued in The Transporter 6.
However, this model is now available with a load-through feature, allowing long, thin items to pass through the bulkhead and into a space under the passenger seat. Full payload details for the T6. Until then, please find details of payload for the existing T6 model below.
As of , the pre-facelift Transporter T6 was available in five nominal gross vehicle weights GVW , as follows:. For the T6. GVW is the total legally allowed weight of the vehicle, including the people and everything else on board. As such, it's important to know exactly which variant you're driving, as this also defines the payload.
