Volkswagen Adds New BEV Variants To Transporter Lineup

Volkswagen’s new battery electric (BEV) Transporter variants – Shuttle and Kombi – have launched and are now open for orders. Prices start at £53,404 OTR for the Kombi Commerce Plus and £56,129 OTR for the 8-seater Transporter Shuttle Life.
The two electric variants join the all-electric Panel Van variant, in addition to diesel versions of the Panel Van, Kombi and Shuttle variants, which also recently opened for orders.

The BEV Transporter Kombi is available with a short or long wheelbase, offering space for equipment and five seats as standard with the option to add a sixth. It offers a payload of up to 896kg and a 65kWh lithium-ion battery delivering a WLTP range of up to 196 miles.

The BEV Transporter Shuttle also comes on a long or short wheelbase providing space for eight seats as standard with the option to add a ninth. It offers a WLTP range of up to 194 miles.

Both models will be covered by Volkswagen’s enhanced warranty and service plan, the 5+ Promise, at no extra cost. This warranty package includes three services, three MOTs, a five-year warranty and five years of roadside assistance. It’s a great level of cover and offers real peace of mind to drivers looking at taking on one of these vehicles.
