The VW ID.Buzz Cargo is the kind of commercial vehicle that demands attention and deserves it. In an industry where there is so much platform sharing, resulting in vast numbers of seemingly identical vans, this is a model that truly stands out. It does so visually, but does it also do so as one of...
The Volkswagen Amarok has traditionally won over fans that want one of the best pickups but also want something with a little more luxury, both inside and out. This second generation of the VW pickup truck takes the same approach, aiming to major on its classy cab and powerful engines. The only...
This 2023 VW Transporter review covers the T6 and T6.1 versions of this popular medium van, originally launched in 2015 then updated with a major facelift (known as the Transporter 6.1) in 2019. And while this sixth-generation model is closely related to the previous VW Transporter T5 under the...
This VW Crafter won the Parkers Van of the Year award in 2018, 2019 and 2020 as well as the Large Van of the Year award in 2020 and 2021. Great to drive, very well thought out and easy to operate, it's not hard to understand why we rate this van so highly. Our 2023 Volkswagen Crafter review will...
This is our 2023 Volkswagen Caddy van review. Now called the Volkswagen Caddy Cargo, to distinguish it further from the passenger versions, this is the first VW van to be based on the MQB platform that underpins most of Volkswagen's cars. It's sharp to look at and nice to drive, but can it compete...
The Volkswagen ABT e-Transporter 6.1 is the first Volkswagen electric van to go on sale in the UK. Look beyond the limited driving range and this electric Transporter deserves some serious consideration – for it has one of the nicest driving experience of any electric van we've driven. Our 2022 VW...
The VW Amarok has become one of the most popular and best pickup trucks in Europe since going on sale in 2011, appealing especially to lifestyle buyers but with good working credentials, too, thanks to its strong engines and large load area for a double-cab model. It is also undoubtedly one of the...
The fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, launched in 2015, is perhaps the discerning small van buyer’s choice. It’s not necessarily the most practical, and it’s certainly not the cheapest – but it’s got that trendy VW image, impressive build quality and an appealing sense of modernity. It also offers...
The VW Crafter has been in production since 2006 when it replaced the venerable Volkswagen LT. It’s the product of a joint venture between Volkswagen and Daimler-Chrysler, and is built using many of the same parts as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. That said, it is a fair bit cheaper, and the diesel...
The 2010 VW Transporter is a thorough revision of the T5 - or fifth-generation model - first launched in 2003. The changes are significant. Most important is a range of new, quieter and more fuel efficient engines. Other changes include the introduction of new technology, such as Bluetooth...
The 2010 VW Caddy is heavily upgraded and facelifted version of the popular third generation Volkswagen Caddy (introduced in 2003), and VW has given this version of the Touran-based model a fresh new look. There’s a new range of engines and it comes in two variants, the standard-length Caddy and...
After a production life spanning over thirty years and two model generations, the VW LT was replaced by this striking looking brute, the first-generation VW Crafter. The Crafter is the product of a joint development between Volkswagen and Daimler-Chrysler, so it shares much with the 2006 model...
This is the third generation of VW Caddy van. Whereas the previous Caddy was based upon a beefed-up Polo supermini, this model is developed from the larger Touran model for a more spacious cabin and a sleeker shape without the need for a box on the back. It offers more loadspace and can cope with...
The VW Transporter range of medium vans has been around since the 1950s and has evolved into a highly competent line-up of commercial vehicles. In that time, more than 8.5 million have rolled off the production line. This fifth-generation version of Volkswagen's Ford Transit and Vauxhall Vivaro...
The VW Transporter can trace its lineage right back to the old ‘VeeDub Splitty’ of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and has earned itself a tremendous reputation over the years for build quality and longevity. This version was labelled the T4 – the fourth incarnation of the van – and is arguably...
The rather bulbous Volkswagen Caddy which ended its production run in 2003 was based on the Polo platform, so it offered truly car-like ride and handling. It also had a generous load volume and was available in both petrol and diesel formats, so some used versions may have an LPG conversion...
The LT panel van first appeared in this format in 1996 and was only replaced by the Crafter in 2006, by which time it was definitely showing its age against the opposition. It was big, tough and capable and was rather overlooked by its brother the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which as a shame as in most...
All versions of the Volkswagen Amarok sold in the UK come in double-cab format, with seats for five and a large loading area out the back. There are also a selection of load-bay covers available, with manual and powered versions on offer. Unlike many pickups, these are features you can get as an...
