The added fine tuning , as well as improved fuel economy, lower noise and greener Euro5 emissions are thanks to Volkswagen’s latest 2.0-litre, four-cylinder common rail TDI engine which too place of  the Transporter’s former 2.5-litre, five-cylinder unit.  Visually, the new Transporter is distinguished by its new frontal styling in line with the latest Volkswagen passenger cars and now also has added safety features such as ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) standard across the range.
