Now the Kombi T5 is your automatic choice
Volkswagen’s range of commercial vehicles has been expanded by the introduction the seven-speed DSG transmission into the Kombi 103kW engine derivative
Until now, the seven-speed DSG transmission was only available with the long-wheel based Kombi Comfortline and Transporter Crew Bus.
Kombi is the best-selling derivative in the T5 model range with more than 21 380 units having been sold in South Africa since its local introduction in 2004 and about 8 600 of those units were Kombis.
With the introduction of the seven-speed DSG transmission, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles aim to attract customers that are looking for a powerful yet affordable Kombi with an automatic transmission. Customers have a choice of Trendline and Comfortline equipment lines.
Kombi is designed to comfortably sit up to seven passengers and a driver. It is an ideal people mover that can be used as a family car for long distance travelling or for hotel shuttle services and is available with a short- or long-wheel base.
Many standard features inclusive of “Climatic” air conditioning, the two-shell roof head lining and sun roller blinds on the side windows of the passenger area, ads value to the Kombi. The height-adjustable front seats (only for the driver seat in Trendline) have armrests, while electric windows, central locking with remote control and the “high” instrument cluster make operation even easier.
In terms of looks, it makes an even more elegant impression with its bumpers, exterior mirror housings (side mirrors unpainted in Trendline) and door handles painted in body colour.
The 2.0 litre 103 kW common rail turbodiesel engine develops a respectable torque of 340Nm@2500r/min. Fuel consumptions is indexed at 8 litre/100km.
Kombi can be customised with a number of functional and convenient optional features. These optional features include tilt/slide sunroof, detachable tow bar, 17-inch Thunder alloy wheels, park distance control control (rear and front), comfort packages (cruise control, front fog lights and multifunction steering wheel; light and rain sensor, auto-dimming rear-view mirror and electrically foldable mirrors) and a communications package (leather multifunction steering wheel, RCD 310 CD/Radio with Aux-In socket and Bluetooth cellphone preparation).
