A 4Motion all-wheel-drive version of the diesel model is also planned for later in 2026.

Design

The Sportline stands out with a more purposeful and dynamic appearance, thanks to a range of exclusive styling enhancements. Distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels, lowered suspension, a redesigned front bumper, side bars and a roof spoiler combine to create a more confident road presence and reinforce its sporty character.

Drive

The 170 PS 2.0 TDI diesel engine combines strong performance with long-distance efficiency. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it is well suited to customers who regularly carry heavy loads or cover high mileages. Also available with 218 PS or 286 PS outputs, the all-electric e-Transporter delivers smooth, responsive performance and zero tailpipe emissions. Its 70 kWh battery and single-speed automatic transmission make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to electrify their fleet.

Practicality

The Sportline interior combines comfort, style and versatility, with supportive eco-leather seats featuring bold red detailing and Sportline branding. Easily removable seats allow you to quickly switch between passenger space and maximum cargo capacity, giving you the flexibility to adapt to every journey.

Living with it

The Sportline interior combines practicality with a more premium feel, featuring upgraded trims, a high-gloss infotainment surround, illuminated vanity mirrors and subtle interior lighting. The Kombi adds a refined, car-like cabin experience with a fully carpeted cab, centre console and metal tread plates, while TDI models benefit from a larger 70L fuel tank for extended range.
