The Volkswagen Crafter 35M 2.0 Bi-TDI MT (2017) is a heavy-duty van engineered to move people and cargo with uncompromising German reliability. This spacious, body-on-frame workhorse is the ideal companion for Philippine fleets, transport operators, and large families who need serious capacity without sacrificing driving confidence.
Under the hood, the Crafter is powered by a 1,968cc inline-4 diesel engine with a bi-turbocharger, delivering 163 PS at 4,000 rpm and a robust 400 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 2,250 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this powertrain offers the low-end grunt and highway stability essential for fully loaded runs. The electromechanical steering and tilt/telescopic column make maneuvering this large van more manageable than its size suggests.
