Volkswagen Introduces New Crafter Variants
Volkswagen has unveiled the latest Crafter models, the Crafter Kombi and Crafter Panel Van Plus, offering smart and versatile solutions for both passenger and cargo transport.
Crafter Kombi – Flexible Passenger Transport
Designed for greater versatility, the Crafter Kombi can accommodate up to eight passengers or alternatively transport up to four wheelchair users.

Additional features include electric side steps and wheelchair restraint systems, ensuring a safe and comfortable travel experience.
