Volkswagen Transporter 2026

FROM
$45,890

The 2026 Volkswagen Transporter range of configurations is currently priced from $45,890.

Our most recent review of the 2026 Volkswagen Transporter resulted in a score of 7.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Stephen Ottley had this to say at the time: So has Volkswagen done enough with this new Transporter to win back buyers in what has become a highly-competitive van market?Based on our initial test drive of the Transporter, it’s safe to say Volkswagen has a good chance of regaining some lost ground. But it won’t be easy because there isn’t any particular area where the Transporter really sets itself apart from the competition.

This is what Stephen Ottley liked most about this particular version of the Volkswagen Transporter: Quiet cabin, Bigger cargo area, Strong diesel engine

Volkswagen Transporter 2026 FAQs

I am looking for a used van... do you have any recommendations?

Rather than concentrate on a particular brand, the best advice is to find a vehicle with a full service history and signs that it has lived an easy life. Too often, commercial vehicles like vans are bought by their first owner and used and abused. They’re nearly always purchased with a job in mind, and that job can often wreck them or at least shorten their lives.

Sometimes, the down-time associated with proper servicing means that maintenance is skipped, other times the sheer weight of the cargo being carried puts a lot of strain on mechanical components. A van that has been used by, say, a pool chemical company might have been exposed to highly corrosive chemicals every day of its life and could be hiding lots of rust. Even a florist’s van might have every nook and cranny filled with potting mix, waiting to become damp and start the rusting process.

Another good idea is to buy a van that has already been converted to a camper. This conversion is not an inexpensive process, so letting the previous owner spend the money is a terrific concept. Keep an eye on the classifieds for a van that has done a tour of duty with a grey nomad or van-lifer, and is now up for sale as the owner moves on to something new.

Which big family cars do you recommend?

I don’t believe there’s an SUV that would meet your needs. The best and most sensible solution would be a peoplemover, like a Toyota Tarago, Hyundai iMax, VW Transporter.

No help from VW

Most manufacturers have what they call "Filled for Life" transmissions, but they can still be serviced. Like you we believe VW should be more transparent when it comes to problems instead of adopting a head-in-the-sand approach, as they appear to do when confronted with a problem.
