For decades, there has been one manufacturer that has led the way when it comes to vans and that’s Volkswagen. The versatility of VW vans makes them not only great for business use, but for personal use too.
As it’s spring, the weather is becoming brighter and warmer. The first thing you’ll be thinking about is enjoying a nice staycation in your VW van, particularly if you have a summer holiday lined up. Our range of Transporter models, from a panel van to a kombi setup makes it easy for you to convert your van into a mobile home.
VW vans are not only excellent for converting into camper vans, but they are great for businesses too. If you are a business that needs to upgrade your van, our VW van models are compliant with ultra-low-emission zones in city centres, saving you hundreds per year on congestion charge fees.
At Nationwide Cars, we’ve picked the best VW vans from our range and we’re sure they will be a hit with camping enthusiasts, businesses and tradespeople alike in spring 2022.
Volkswagen Transporter T30 Highline Kombi
When you think of a van that has been synonymous with camping enthusiasts for more than 60 years, you immediately think of the Volkswagen Transporter. The latest model of the VW Transporter, the T30 Highline Kombi is great for families who are looking to convert a normal van into a camper van.
Not only does it have plenty of space in the back to create the mobile home you’ve dreamed of having for domestic holidays, it also drives superbly well. The 2 litre TDI engine delivers an incredible 44.1 mpg, meaning that you’ll be taking less trips to fill up with diesel at service stations across the UK.
Volkswagen Transporter Startline Business
While VW Transporters are excellent when it comes to converting them into camper vans, they are also used by businesses across the UK. If you are looking to upgrade or buy a van for your business, the VW Transporter Startline Business is what you need for your daily drive.
Not only does the van come with plenty of space to store all your equipment and materials, it also provides plenty of comfort and entertainment. The 6.5-inch touchscreen, which has a DAB radio, means not only will you have a VW Transporter that drives well, but will make getting from one job to another an enjoyable experience.
Volkswagen Crafter Startline
If you are a tradesperson or someone who delivers huge amounts of freight, the Volkswagen Crafter Startline is the perfect van for businesses operating in those fields. With a choice of long or medium wheelbases, the VW Crafter Startline has various body lengths to make it easier for a business to provide the right fleet of vans for staff to drive in.
The business world is not the only arena where the VW Crafter Startline operates, it can be used to store everything a family needs to move from one house to another. The 2 litre TDI engine (starting from 102bhp, all the way up to 140bhp) provides plenty of power and fuel efficiency on city roads and motorways.
Volkswagen Caddy Cargo C20 Commerce
Couriers who are looking to upgrade the van they already have as their daily drive cannot go wrong with a VW Caddy Cargo. While the Caddy Cargo is a smaller van than the Transporter and Crafter, it provides delivery drivers with plenty of space to store the parcels they need to deliver to clients easily.
With a choice of a 1.5-litre TSI petrol or 2 litres TDI diesel engine, the Caddy Cargo delivers on performance, as well as fuel economy. It means that you can drive from one job to another without having to worry about filling up with petrol or diesel at the nearest petrol station.
Volkswagen Crafter Trendline
If the VW Crafter Startline’s lack of gadgets is putting you off upgrading your van, there is its bigger brother, the VW Crafter Trendline. Not only does it come with plenty of load space, as well as a 2 litre TDI engine, it also has plenty of in-van entertainment to make that drive between jobs pleasant.
Not only does it come with an eight-inch touchscreen, but it also has a voice control system. It means that you can keep your eye on the road without having to fiddle with changing the music or radio station you want to listen to while driving. As with all VW Crafters, the Trendline can handle whatever tasks businesses throw at it.
We hope the VW vans we’ve listed give you some inspiration for upgrading your current camper van or fleet that you operate in your business. Whatever Volkswagen van you decide to go with, the Caddy, Crafter and Transporter are all reliable, dependable and fuel-efficient vans for personal and business use.
