About the Volkswagen Crafter Mk2
The second-generation Volkswagen Crafter, introduced in 2017, marked a significant shift as it was developed entirely in-house by Volkswagen rather than being a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz. The CR35 trim denotes a 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight, making it a staple for commercial fleets and camper conversions. It is praised for its car-like driving dynamics, featuring electromechanical steering and a well-organised cabin that mirrors the ergonomics of the VW Golf. The 2.0-litre TDI engine provides a balance of efficiency and torque necessary for heavy payloads.
