1. Bigger Loads, Smoother Handling

The VW Transporter 2025 is designed for today’s demanding commercial environments. Thanks to its expansive load volume of up to 6.8 m³ (and up to 9 m³ when the high-roof variant arrives in 2026), it easily accommodates bulky cargo, pallets, and a wide range of business equipment. A 61 mm increase in load length compared to the Transporter 6.1 means you can fit over 3 metres of materials in the long-wheelbase model without sacrificing manoeuvrability.

  • Wide opening doors or optional tailgate for effortless loading
  • Up to 1.2-tonne payload capacity for heavier deliveries
  • Towing capacity of up to 2.8 tonnes (variant-dependent)

If practicality is at the heart of your business, the new Transporter’s adaptable cargo space and robust chassis design are sure to impress.


2. Powertrain Options for Every Need

Whether you value traditional diesel reliability or want to embrace electric mobility, there’s a Transporter to match your operational style:

  • TDI (Diesel): A proven turbodiesel engine that balances performance and fuel economy for daily business needs.
  • e-Transporter (All-Electric): Available in 136 PS or 218 PS outputs, perfect for businesses looking to reduce emissions without compromising load capacity.
  • Plug-in Hybrid (Arriving in 2026): Combining electric efficiency with petrol convenience, ideal for those needing extended range and lower running costs.

With these future-ready powertrains, the Transporter 2025 ensures you’re set for both urban low-emission zones and long-distance deliveries.


3. Interior Comfort Meets Workday Practicality

Inside the all-new Transporter, you’ll find an ergonomic, driver-focused cockpit designed to make long journeys less taxing:

  • Digital Displays
    • 12-inch digital driver’s display with customisable info
    • 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Wireless App Connect
  • Multi-Function Steering Wheel
    • Glove-friendly and fully adjustable
    • Optional heated version on higher trims
  • Smart Connectivity
    • Integrated VW Connect for remote vehicle monitoring
    • Wireless charging pad (trim-dependent)
    • Multi-device pairing for hands-free calls and music

Additionally, materials have been chosen for durability, ensuring the cabin weathers daily use while still feeling comfortable. Optional heated seats, automatic climate control, and 230V power outlets underscore the Transporter’s blend of commercial utility and car-like comfort.


4. Standard Equipment Highlights

Even in its entry-level trim, the VW Transporter 2025 comes generously equipped:

  • LED headlights with high-beam assist
  • Autonomous Emergency Braking
  • Lane Assist for extra peace of mind on busy highways
  • Dynamic Road Sign Display to keep you aware of changing speed limits
  • Rear parking sensors—essential for tight loading bays

Higher trims like Commerce Plus and Commerce Pro add front parking sensors, rear view camera, heated front seats, and optional 360-degree Area View Camera—a first in Transporter history.


5. Top Reasons to Lease

  1. Lower Upfront Costs
    Spread out the expense of a brand-new van with manageable monthly payments instead of paying the full purchase price.

  2. Predictable Budgeting
    Fixed monthly leasing fees help your business manage cash flow more effectively, especially with maintenance and warranty included under VW’s 5+ Promise.

  3. Access to the Latest Models
    Upgrading at the end of your lease ensures your fleet always benefits from the newest safety tech, infotainment systems, and powertrain advancements.

  4. Potential Tax Advantages
    For VAT-registered businesses, leasing commercial vehicles can offer certain tax benefits (consult your accountant for details).

  5. Hassle-Free Maintenance
    With 5 services and 3 MOTs included, plus roadside assistance, you can keep your focus on the job—not on vehicle upkeep.


6. A Quick Note on Pricing

While the Transporter 2025 covers a range of specifications and trims, on-the-road prices (excluding VAT) start from £32,165 for TDI models and £37,800 for the e-Transporter (subject to PiVG eligibility). For businesses, Contract Hire options are available from £316 per month excl. VAT, making it easy to drive away in a brand-new Transporter without tying up large capital amounts.
