Volkswagen Crafter 2018 FAQs

How many seats does the vw crafter have?

Single-cab Crafters sold in Australia are available with three seats in the front, while dual-cab variants can seat up to seven passengers.

Does the vw crafter have good fuel consumption?

Volkswagen hasn't provided official fuel consumption figures for the 2018-spec Crafter as there are 59 variants available, and they will have wildly different fuel efficiency. The medium-wheelbase van will surely be much more frugal than the long-wheelbase high-roof model with extended rear overhang, or the heavy duty 4x4 light truck version! Still, Tim Robson saw an average of 10.2-litres per-100km on his short drive around Auckland at the Crafter launch this year.

Is the vw crafter a 4x4?

Volkswagen sell their Crafter commercial vans and tray-back utes in front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive and 4x4 formats. With over 50 possible models available there is a dizzying range of Crafters available, in short-wheelbase, medium-wheelbase, and long-wheelbase formats, able to carry up to 4500kg in 4x4 (4MOTION guise).
