Queenstown, New Zealand: Volkswagen Australia is using an icy tundra to launch the long-awaited 4MOTION variant of its all-new Crafter van, making its debut at the brand's 4MOTION drive and technical showcase.
Whereas all-wheel-drive adds five figures to the price tag of some competitors, 4MOTION capability has a premium of $4500 over the already available front-wheel-drive variants of the versatile and modular Crafter.
As with all Crafter variants safety is to the fore of its class, and now comes with the added surety of on-demand 4MOTION AWD.
Standard are front and side airbags, Front Assist with City Emergency Braking, front and rear park distance control, rear-view camera, multi collision baking, driver fatigue detection and crosswind assist. Park assist, rear traffic alert, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, sensor based side assist
and adaptive cruise control can be optioned along with a mechanical diff lock and hill descent assist.
The Crafter 4MOTION runs a transversely mounted 130kW/410Nm 2.0 litre turbo diesel through an 8-speed automatic transmission and all four wheels.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' experience in the fleet space has resulted in fixtures such as a Customer-specific Function Control Unit (CFCU) with bodybuilder programming as standard and optional telematics preparation that integrates the vehicle into an existing fleet management
system.
Crafter 4MOTION will become available in all body types: Van MWB and LWB; and LWB Single- and Dual-Cab Chassis.
All new Volkswagen's come with 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and the option of the Volkswagen Care Plan which limits the cost of the Crafter's servicing to $1400 for three years and $2300 for five years. These come with free roadside assist for the chosen period, conditional on
observing the service schedule.
