Now, it’s available in 2.0L TDI340 four-cylinder turbocharged engine and 2.0L TDI400 four-cylinder bi-turbocharged engine.

Volkswagen Transporter Van Braking & Safety

Volkswagen Transporter is one of the safest vans in the world. However, it doesn’t come with a lot of driving assistance features. But, being a budget-friendly van, it is loaded with necessary safety features. On the braking front, Transporter comes standard with the power-assisted hydraulic brakes. In the front and rear wheels, Transporter Van grade is equipped with 308mm ventilated disc brakes and 294mm ventilated disc brakes. Whereas Transporter Crewvan is paired with 340mm ventilated disc brakes in the front wheels and 294mm ventilated disc brakes in the rear. Both grades come with the standard antilock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution system, electronic stabilisation program, and brake assist. The driving assistance features of Transporter include driver fatigue detection, a rearview camera, multi-collision brake, and electronic differential lock. The forward collision warning with emergency braking is standard with the Transporter Van, while the adaptive cruise control is optional with a driving assistance package. 

Transporter Van Verdict

Volkswagen Transporter is tailored to match the day to day business tasks. However, some critical features are missing like autonomous braking which is available with its rivals. Apart from this, Transporter is powered by fuel-efficient and robust engines. It’s the only van in the segment that comes with different bodies and can carry up to 1,415 kg of payload.
