Volkswagen has launched a limited edition version of the Transporter, called the Trendline. Restricted to just 500 vehicles, the new model features a host of special equipment as standard, offering the customer an attractive, high-value package at a basic recommended retail price of £14,850 (excluding VAT and on the road costs).

Based on the short wheelbase Transporter panel van, the Trendline features manual air conditioning as standard along with electric windows; electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors; internal locking button for the central locking; driver’s seat armrests; and full bulkhead without window. Reflex Silver metallic paint and distinctive full diameter wheel trims are also standard features.

But the Trendline is not just about attractive specification – compared with a standard Transporter fitted with the same equipment, this special edition offers customers a saving of around £400 (excluding VAT).

The Trendline features the proven 1.9-litre TDI PD engine, with a power output of 104 PS along with 250 Nm of torque at a useful 2,000 rpm. It features Volkswagen’s Pumpe Düse unit injector technology, delivering smooth, linear power and impressive fuel economy. Independent suspension on all four wheels and a dashboard-mounted gear lever further aid driving comfort. As expected of Volkswagen, safety is a priority with ABS brakes, ASR traction control and a driver’s airbag fitted as standard.

Of course practicality is also a strong point of the Transporter, with this particular version boasting a payload of 925 kg with a load volume of 5.8 m3, and a gross vehicle weight of 2,800 kg. Twin rear doors and a nearside side sliding door are standard features.

Trendline customers will enjoy immediate delivery of their vehicle, along with the usual benefits of Volkswagen ownership such as low running costs, high residual values and a generous warranty. Three years or 100,000 miles whole vehicle warranty, a 12 year anti-perforation warranty for the galvanised steel body, and a three year paint warranty all come as standard.

The Transporter Trendline is only available in the UK. For more information on the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles range, or to locate your nearest Van Centre, call
