The rear-wheel drive options offer a greater maximum load weight capacity of around 3.5 tonnes while the front-wheel drive models can carry more thanks to their extra loading height. A noteworthy feature of the VW Crafter is that the rear doors open to 270 degrees and have a magnetic door stop included to prevent them from hitting the side of the van.

Engine & Economy

The completely revised engine range of the cheap Volkswagen Crafter provides plenty of power and torque while also offering improved efficiency, which means better fuel economy with lower emissions and running costs.

The Volkswagen Crafter 2.0 TDI engine is designed for durability, low-down pulling power and improved efficiency. They are also fitted with stop-start technology to improve efficiency even further, particularly in urban environments.

Front-wheel drive manual models with 138bhp can achieve around 38mpg while the upgraded turbo diesel can produce 174bhp and averages 37mpg. The model you decide upon will depend on your needs; carrying heavier loads will likely require more horsepower but that may require sacrificing load space.

The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is also in place in this Volkswagen to automatically trigger the brakes after a collision to prevent further damage.
