Volkswagen Transporter Business & Commercial Van Leasing Offers
The Volkswagen Transporter has been a trusted name in the van market for over 70 years, evolving into one of the most versatile and dependable options for businesses. Now in its seventh generation, it sits between the compact Caddy and the larger Crafter, offering the ideal balance of space, practicality and performance. Built on a shared platform with the Ford Transit Custom, it's available with efficient diesel engines, the fully electric e-Transporter, and a plug-in hybrid.

The Kombi, which seats up to six, also suits businesses that need to move people rather than cargo, from airport transfer operators to field and on-site teams.

Engine & Performance
The VW Transporter is offered with a choice of efficient diesel engines, a fully electric powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid. Diesel models use a 2.0-litre TDI engine, available with 110bhp, 148bhp or 168bhp, paired with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox. The 148bhp engine can also be specified with Volkswagen's 4MOTION all-wheel drive for added traction.
The all-electric e-Transporter delivers between 134bhp and 282bhp depending on specification, providing smooth, quiet zero-emission driving that's ideal for urban use. The Transporter eHybrid combines a 2.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined output of 232PS, offering around 30 miles of electric-only driving for shorter trips before the petrol engine takes over.
Exterior Features
As standard, the VW Transporter offers practical exterior features, including wide-opening rear doors, a low loading height for easy access, and a nearside sliding side door for quick loading and unloading.
Available optional extras across the range include an additional offside sliding side door and folding roof load carriers, allowing the VW Transporter to be configured around how it will be used day to day. An electrically-folding tow bar is also available on select engine variants, and LED headlights can be specified as an optional extra across the range.
