VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER TDI 340 LWB LOW T6 MY17

2017 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER TDI 340 LWB LOW T6 MY17.

This 2017 Volkswagen Transporter TDI 340 LWB Low T6 is a practical long-wheelbase commercial van designed around useful load space and straightforward everyday operation. Its van body, two-seat cabin and 5292 mm overall length provide a sensible platform for transporting equipment, tools or cargo, while the low-roof configuration keeps the vehicle more manageable in urban environments and confined loading areas.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 103 kW and 340 Nm. The torque output is developed from 1750 rpm, giving the Transporter the low-speed pulling ability expected of a working van. A seven-speed automatic transmission adds convenience in traffic and on longer journeys, while the listed drive type is rear-wheel drive.

The cargo area is equipped with tie-down hooks and a vinyl floor covering, features that are useful when carrying items that need to be secured or when easy cleaning matters. A sliding side door improves access beside a kerb or in a tight loading space. The van also has front and rear interior lighting, a full-size steel spare wheel and heated exterior mirrors.

Despite its commercial focus, the cabin includes equipment intended to make regular driving less tiring. Air conditioning, cruise control, a leather steering wheel, adjustable steering column and a manually adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support provide useful comfort for working days. Storage includes front door pockets, a lockable glovebox, an in-dash compartment and front cup holders.

Connectivity is covered by Bluetooth, an AUX/USB input, a memory card reader and MP3-compatible CD audio with four speakers. The multi-function display, trip computer and ambient temperature display add useful information for daily driving. Reversing camera and parking-sensor systems are listed as optional equipment rather than confirmed standard fitment.

Safety equipment includes electronic stability programming, traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, front, side and head airbags, remote central locking and an engine immobiliser. Hill-holder assistance and rear parking distance control are also listed. The vehicle has an ANCAP rating of four stars.

With a stated gross vehicle mass of 3000 kg, a 1232 kg listed payload and braked towing capacity of 2000 kg, this Transporter offers useful working capability in a relatively compact commercial format. Its 80-litre diesel tank and stated combined fuel consumption of 8.2 L/100 km support practical day-to-day range, although actual results will vary with load and operating conditions. The odometer shows 287,520 kilometres and the vehicle is described as being in excellent condition with service history noted.
