Volkswagen introduces 2015 Transporter van

Volkswagen's commercial vehicles division has launched the sixth-gen Transporter.
Called T-6 internally, another Transporter borrows styling cues in the retro-inspired Tri-Star theory which was presented last fall in the yearly Commercial Automobiles Present that happened in Frankfurt, Germany. Unquestionably more of an evolution than a revolution, the T 6 gets a sharper look all about but its total measurements remain about the same. The Transporter follows the van sector's shift towards more car-like interiors and embraces a touchscreen based infotainment program much like the unit within the Golf as well as the Passat. Called Caravelle in several European states, the Transporter's passenger-taking sib may be purchased with superior features such as real wood trim on the dash and wall-to-wall leather upholstery. The EuroNCAP, Europe's tough comparable to to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), lately advocated auto manufacturers to construct safer business vans. So, the Transporter carries numerous airbags as well as an extensive variety of standard and optional electronic driving aids - including Front Support, Adaptive Cruise-Control along with a City Emergency Braking Function - created to keep the van on four-wheels and pointed in the correct direction. Volkswagen's midsize van could be purchased using a 2.0-liter TDI four-cylinder turbo-diesel motor accessible with 83, 100, 147 or 201 hp, or with a 2.0-liter gas-burning four that makes both 147 or 201 ponies. A six-speed manual-transmission comes standard on most engines, as well as a six-speed dual clutch DSG gearbox is supplied at an additional price. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. The Volkswagen T6 Transporter will go on-sale across Europe in a few days. Volkswagen hasn't indicated if it is going to take on competing Mercedes Benz on The United States burgeoning mid-size van marketplace, though rumours suggest the organization is going to establish a commercial-vehicle on those coasts prior to the conclusion of the decade.
