Top of the Peaks: Volkswagen Crafter

From summer festival setups and market traders to builders, couriers and delivery drivers, when you see a Crafter on the road, chances are it's got a job to do. 

They're trusted by businesses across the country for one simple reason: they get on with the work without making a fuss.

If your current van sounds like it's negotiating its retirement package every time you start it up, it might be time for an upgrade.

Proper Craftsmanship

The best craftspeople know that good tools make all the difference.

The same principle applies here. The Volkswagen Crafter isn't trying to be flashy or fashionable. It's a well-engineered piece of kit and it looks exactly like what it is: a professional tool for people who have work to do.

What You're Actually Driving

Underneath all that practicality sits a 2.0-litre TDI diesel producing 140PS.

Which, translated into normal human language, means:

  • Plenty of pulling power when fully loaded

  • Comfortable motorway cruising

  • Strong fuel economy for a van of this size

  • Easy progress through town or country

  • A van that feels surprisingly car-like behind the wheel

The Crafter has spent years building a reputation as one of the most driver-friendly large vans on the market.


The Load Space Bit

Let's be honest - nobody buys a Crafter because of its luxury interior or interactive dashboard.

They buy it because it can swallow a day's worth of tools, materials and equipment. They buy it because things need moving. Lots of things.

The medium wheelbase configuration hits a sweet spot between load capacity and manoeuvrability. So, whether you're carrying trade supplies, event equipment or enough gear to make your neighbours think you're opening a small branch of Screwfix, the Crafter has the space.
