Volkswagen this week confirmed its latest seventh-generation T7 Transporter range will go on sale in South Africa in September.
Sharing its platform with the Ford Transit and Tourneo twins, the line-up will include Kombi, Crew Bus and long-wheelbase Dropside Double Cab derivatives, the latter scheduled for local introduction in 2026.
The short wheelbase Transporter measures 5,050mm, which is 146mm longer than the model it replaces, with a wheelbase stretched by 97mm to 3,100mm.
The long-wheelbase version adds 400mm, bringing total length to 5,450mm. Across all models, width excluding mirrors has increased by 128mm to 2,032mm.
