The Volkswagen Kombi is one of the most iconic passenger cars, especially in South Africa with its long history of Kombis. Following in the footsteps of the Volkswagen T5, the T6 has now been launched in South Africa.
Volkswagen claims that the new range offers even more options than before. The range is made up, as before, of both short and long-wheelbase derivatives, passenger and commercial vehicles, while both a five- and six-speed manual gearboxes are on offer, as well as the seven-speed DSG transmission.
However, the engine range remains unchanged compared to the outgoing range. This means there is the option of the 2,0-litre TDI or the 2,0-litre BiTDI range. Power output will start at 75 kW/250 N.m. and increase to 132 kW/400 N.m.
Safety systems include electronic stability programme (ESP), air bags and electric seatbelt tensioners. New safety features on the T6 include a multi-collision braking system and a fatigue detection system on the Kombi and Caravelle.
The Kombi will be offered with two trim levels, Trendline and Comfortline, while the Caravelle is offered in Comfortline or Highline.
