The 2026 Volkswagen Transporter TDI340 FWD is a diesel van with 3 seats, an 8-speed automatic and drive to the front wheels. It's priced at $58,590 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. Out back there's 5,800 litres of cargo volume, and it uses 7.9L/100km on the combined cycle from a 70-litre fuel tank. Braked towing is rated at 2,800kg. With seating for 3, it's set up for tradies and small businesses who need to carry gear rather than a crowd of passengers.
Configure the TDI340 FWDThe VW e-Transporter is the fully electric version of Volkswagen's new-generation mid-size van, a first for the Transporter line. It pairs a 64kWh battery with a 210kW rear motor and claims roughly 320km of range, though that figure is derived from European data rather than a firm VW Australia number. It supports 125kW DC fast charging and can still tow a braked 2,300kg. Priced from $83,590 before on-road costs, it is on sale now. There is no ANCAP rating. Figures here are from Volkswagen Australia and AU sources, not a road test.
