The Volkswagen Transporter Sportline is often likened to the GTI of vans due to its sporty design elements, including a red signature stripe, body kit, and Eibach lowered suspension. This top-spec model, specially designed for the UK market, is priced at £52,375 excluding VAT, making it about £3,500 cheaper than its main competitor, the MS-RT Ford Transit Custom. The Sportline offers a versatile choice between a panel van or a Kombi with five or six seats, with removable rear seats for added flexibility. Engine options range from a 2-litre turbo diesel with 170hp to plug-in hybrid and pure electric variants, the latter capable of achieving nearly 200 miles on a full charge. The van is equipped with modern conveniences such as an eight-speed automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control, and a reversing camera, ensuring a comfortable driving experience. The limited edition Sportline 75, finished in Moss Green, commemorates the 75th anniversary of the iconic VW T1, adding a unique touch to this already impressive vehicle.
