These now include as standard Forward Collision Warning, now with AEB Cyclist and Pedestrian detection, Lane Assist, Travel Assist, Blind Sport Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control and a Moving off Information System.

Visually, the Crafter picks up a refreshed front bumper and badging, to align with the rest of the Volkswagen family.

On the inside, a complete redesign has comprehensively enhanced both the style and functionality of the Crafter. A redesigned dashboard now features a 10.4-inch Infotainment System combined with a fully Digital Cockpit, standard Wireless Charger and USB-C ports with faster charging.

The new electric parking brake and shifter replace the traditional mechanical units, freeing up space and simplifying operation, while a new dashboard profile, Climate Control centre design and Multifunctional Steering Wheel optimise the user experience even further.

The Australian-designed and Melbourne-converted Crafter Kampervan, available in Style and All-Terrain, also benefits from these same updates, bringing enhanced safety, technology and comfort to the campervan segment.

The Crafter, equipped with the TDI410 2.0L twin-turbo diesel powertrain, is available in Medium Wheelbase, Long Wheelbase (incl. ‘with overhang’ option), Single cab Chassis, Double Cab Chassis and Kampervan variants, with prices kicking off at $69,100* for the Crafter Single Cab Chassis.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Product Manager Peter Perivolarellis said, “these updates to both Caddy and Crafter bring significant updates to the ranges, providing a safer and more relaxing driving experience, and culminating in a vehicle owners will feel comfortable to spend more time in.”

Referring to the range diversity across both models, Mr Perivolarellis added, “the updated Caddy and Crafter were designed with a focus on meeting the diverse needs of modern businesses and lifestyles.”
