The VW Crafter (2006 to 2017) model stands out as a pivotal phase in the evolution of Volkswagen's larger commercial vehicles. Introduced in 2006 to replace the aging Volkswagen LT, the Crafter was designed in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, sharing many components with the Mercedes Sprinter.
Over the decade-plus run, the VW Crafter (2006 to 2017) was celebrated for its robustness and versatility. Crafted with the needs of large-scale transporters in mind, it offered various configurations including different roof heights, wheelbases, and weights. This adaptability made it immensely popular among a diverse range of industries, from construction to logistics.
Performance-wise, the VW Crafter initially featured a range of inline-five cylinder diesel engines but later saw the introduction of smaller, more efficient four-cylinder units in line with evolving environmental standards. Notably, each version of the Crafter was praised for its reliability and fuel efficiency, which are crucial for business efficiency and economy.
Throughout its years of production, the VW Crafter (2006 to 2017) garnered numerous positive reviews. Automotive experts frequently highlighted its spacious cab and advanced safety features, alongside the van's solid handling and ride quality even when fully loaded. The Crafter was often compared favorably to its rivals in the large van sector, for both the comfort it offered and its pragmatic design.
Users also expressed a high level of satisfaction. Many praised the vehicle's durability and the minimal downtime it required, which is a testament to its build quality. The cost-effectiveness of maintaining a Crafter also resonated well with business owners, helping to strengthen its reputation over the years.
