Volkswagen is adding a new high-specification Edition model to the sixth-generation Transporter range.

Available to order now, the new Transporter Edition is the most comprehensively equipped model in the range. Based on the already generous specification of the existing Highline model, the new Edition features 17-inch Cascavel black diamond surfaced alloy wheels on 148 p models, and 18-inch Springfield black alloy wheels on 201 bhp models. Other design additions include high-gloss black roof and mirror housings, unique Edition decals and blacked-out LED tail lights.

Inside, the Transporter Edition gains Volkswagen’s Discover Media Navigation system with App-Connect, while driver aids include front and rear parking sensors with rear-view camera, LED headlights and power latching on the nearside sliding door. Panel van models are fitted with a tailgate without window, while kombi models feature a tailgate with window. Customers can choose from a palette of five colours; Candy White, Grape Yellow, Cherry Red, and Indium Grey or Onyx White (at additional cost).

Both panel van and kombi versions can be specified with either a 2.0-litre TDI 148 bhp or a 2.0-litre TDI 201 bhp engine. Both are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard and are available with a seven-speed DSG gearbox as an option.

Transporter Edition panel van prices start at £28,990 (RRP basic ex VAT), while kombi prices start from £30,620. Order books are open now, with the first deliveries expected in November.
