Volkswagen Transporter Commerce Pro S goes on sale priced at £43,050

Volkswagen has announced that the sporty Transporter Commerce Pro S van has gone on sale priced at £43,050.

The new variant will sit alongside the ‘Sportline’ trim level in a bid to add more appeal to the Volkswagen Transporter range.

The Commerce Pro S adds several exterior upgrades over the standard Transporter including 17-inch black alloy wheels, a body-coloured front splitter, an extended rear roof spoiler, gloss black front grille and angular side bars.

Under the bonnet, there is a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine with a choice of 148bhp and 167bhp power outputs. Later down the line, the range will be joined by a plug-in hybrid ‘eHybrid’ and full-electric model with further details on these versions are set to follow soon.

The Transporter Commerce Pro S is available as a standard ‘Panel Van’ or a ‘Kombi’ crew cab variant, priced at £54,742.

There is also a choice of short and long-wheel-base body lengths, while standard equipment includes a heated front windscreen, power-folding door mirrors and LED rear taillights.

Order books are open now with deliveries expected to commence in April, while the plug-in hybrid and electric models will go on sale later this year.
