VOLKSWAGEN’S all-new second-generation Crafter large van has landed in Australia, shedding its Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based roots and bringing a huge range of choice for buyers.
Built in a purpose-built factory in Poland, the new Crafter sees the return of an automatic transmission to the range, which the company believes will result in a huge boost in sales numbers.
The second-generation version ushers in new safety technologies, an updated steering set-up, cabin improvements and a range of drivelines including front-wheel drive for the first time.
Are the changes enough to shoot it up the segment sales charts?
