    Volkswagen Transporter 2021

    Volkswagen Transporter 2021

    FROM
    $23,100

    The 2021 Volkswagen Transporter range of configurations is currently priced from $32,999.

    Our most recent review of the 2021 Volkswagen Transporter resulted in a score of 8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: The Transporter boasts a level of mechanical refinement, engine performance, ride quality, heavy load-carrying ability and general driver comfort that sets a high benchmark in this category. If not for its lack of an ANCAP rating and unacceptably high internal noise levels at highway speeds, it would be hard to fault.

    This is what Mark Oastler liked most about this particular version of the Volkswagen Transporter: Superb drivetrain, Ride quality laden/unladen, Fuel economy

    The 2021 Volkswagen Transporter carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Volkswagen Transporter 2021 FAQs

    I am looking for a used van... do you have any recommendations?

    Rather than concentrate on a particular brand, the best advice is to find a vehicle with a full service history and signs that it has lived an easy life. Too often, commercial vehicles like vans are bought by their first owner and used and abused. They’re nearly always purchased with a job in mind, and that job can often wreck them or at least shorten their lives.

    Sometimes, the down-time associated with proper servicing means that maintenance is skipped, other times the sheer weight of the cargo being carried puts a lot of strain on mechanical components. A van that has been used by, say, a pool chemical company might have been exposed to highly corrosive chemicals every day of its life and could be hiding lots of rust. Even a florist’s van might have every nook and cranny filled with potting mix, waiting to become damp and start the rusting process.

    Another good idea is to buy a van that has already been converted to a camper. This conversion is not an inexpensive process, so letting the previous owner spend the money is a terrific concept. Keep an eye on the classifieds for a van that has done a tour of duty with a grey nomad or van-lifer, and is now up for sale as the owner moves on to something new.

    Which big family cars do you recommend?

    I don’t believe there’s an SUV that would meet your needs. The best and most sensible solution would be a peoplemover, like a Toyota Tarago, Hyundai iMax, VW Transporter.

    No help from VW

    Most manufacturers have what they call "Filled for Life" transmissions, but they can still be serviced. Like you we believe VW should be more transparent when it comes to problems instead of adopting a head-in-the-sand approach, as they appear to do when confronted with a problem.
