Unlike its predecessor, it is available with front- or rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission and 4Motion all-wheel drive.
Its gross vehicle weight ranges from 3.5 tonnes to five tonnes, with multiple configurations available. In terms of payload capacity, the Crafter offers up to 17.5m³ of cargo volume and a maximum cargo height of 2,096mm.
Volkswagen said the line-up will feature new 2l four-cylinder turbodiesel (TDI) engines with outputs of 103kW, 120kW and 130kW.
