The figures below describe the New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. Other derivatives in this range differ.
| Engine capacity | 2 LnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Capacity (cm3) 1996"; recorded in litres as 2.0. |
| Cylinders | 4noteVolkswagen South Africa. |
| Power | 125 kWnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet, the commercial-vehicle spec sheet (VW files it under Commercial Vehicles and serves it from a /brochures/cv/ path): "Output (kW @ r/min) 125 @ 3,500". Identical across all four derivatives. |
| Torque | 390 NmnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Torque (Nm @ r/min) 390 @ 1,750-2,500". |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic (shift by wire)noteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "8-speed automatic (shift by wire)". Ratio count recorded separately in gears. |
| Gears | 8noteNo separate gear-count row is published; 8 is read from the transmission designation "8-speed automatic" and nowhere else. |
| Drivetrain | FWDnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Front-wheel drive" for the derivative these figures describe, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. The Style derivative is 4MOTION all-wheel drive, so this value describes the basis derivative and not the range. |
| Consumption cycle | NEDCnoteThe sheet names the cycle and the regulation in the row label itself: "Fuel consumption (NEDC 1999/100/EC)". Recorded as nedc rather than left unstated. |
| Fuel consumption | 8.0 L/100kmnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Fuel consumption (NEDC 1999/100/EC) Combined 8,0" for the derivative these figures describe, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. The Style derivative is 8,7. |
| Fuel tank | 55 Lnote55 litres on this version. The other three Kombi versions have a 70-litre tank. |
| Fuel grade | Diesel (50ppm)noteDiesel. Volkswagen specifies a diesel engine; the grade shown is South Africa's 50 ppm low-sulphur diesel. |
| Range | 687 kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 12.14 snote12.14 seconds, measured by a South African road test of the 2.0 TDI Kombi automatic. A German listing for a heavier version gives 14.0 seconds. |
| CO2 emissions | 209 g/kmnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "CO2 emissions (g/km) 209" for the derivative these figures describe, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. The Style derivative is 227. |
| Seats | 8noteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Number of seats (2+3+3 seat configuration) 8". All four derivatives are 8-seaters. The prices-and-options page publishes no seat count; its "6 x Rear Seat Package" row describes the six REAR seats, not the total. |
| Doors | 5noteFive doors: two front doors, two sliding side doors and a tailgate. |
| Length | 5 050 mm |
| Width | 2 032 mmnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Width (mm) excluding side mirrors 2 032". The exclusion is VW's own qualifier and is recorded here rather than dropped. |
| Height | 1 978 mm |
| Wheelbase | 3 100 mm |
| Ground clearance | 164 mm |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | Not specified |
| Boot (behind last row) | Not specified |
| Boot (seats folded) | 4 343 Lnote4 343 litres of storage space with the second-row seats and third-row bench removed. Volkswagen separately gives 5.8 cubic metres as the whole passenger and load compartment with the seats removed. |
| Kerb weight | 1 912 kgnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Kerb Mass (minimum) without driver and with fuel (kg) 1 912" for the derivative these figures describe, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. The Style derivative is 2 009. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 3 225 kgnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) (kg) 3 225". Identical across all four derivatives. |
| Payload | 1 313 kgnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "Maximum payload capacity (kg) ~ based on minimum kerb mass 1 313" for the derivative these figures describe, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto. The Style derivative is 1 216. |
| Towing (braked) | 2 800 kg |
| Towing (unbraked) | 750 kg |
| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP has not tested the Transporter. Euro NCAP rated the European Caravelle, based on tests of its Ford twin, but that van has a centre airbag the South African Kombi is not listed with, so the rating is not applied here. ANCAP has graded the Australian Transporter van's crash-avoidance systems but has not given it a star rating. |
| Airbags | 6noteSix airbags on the Commerce auto. |
| Airbag positions | Driver, Passenger (with deactivation), Side (cab), Curtain (cab), Curtain (passenger compartment)noteVolkswagen South Africa's airbag list for this version. Volkswagen gives the total as six. |
| Warranty | 3 yearsnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "3-year / 120,000 km manufacturer warranty". Corroborated by VW's Commercial Vehicles warranty booklet, which lists "T6.1 Kombi: 3 year/ 120,000 km" - the same booklet gives the T6.1 Panel Van, Pick-up and Crew Bus "2 year/ unlimited km". Commercial channel does not imply a shorter warranty; the Kombi is warranted differently from its own siblings. |
| Warranty distance | 120 000 km 40 000 km/year · derived Compare warranties across all SUVs →noteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "3-year / 120,000 km manufacturer warranty" - a distance cap, so “Warranty distance unlimited” is false. Read from the COMMERCIAL warranty documents; VW publishes separate passenger and commercial warranty booklets and they differ by model, not uniformly by channel. |
| Maintenance plan | 4 services / 3 years / 60 000 km |
| How it is supplied | Included with the vehicle |
| Service interval (distance) | 15 000 kmnoteVW SA Transporter Kombi spec sheet: "15,000 km service intervals". The Commercial Vehicles warranty booklet states no interval of its own. |
| Spare wheel | Full-size Differs by derivative — Full-size: New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Commerce Auto, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Life Auto, New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Edition Auto; Space-saver: New Transporter Kombi 2.0 TDI Style Auto Compare spare wheels across all SUVs →noteVolkswagen South Africa: a steel full-size spare on this version. The top-spec Style has a temporary spare. |
| Service network | ~129 authorised service points, as at 18 August 2026 In all 9 provinces. Service & Parts department modelled per pin in Volkswagen's own locator. Compare service networks across all brands →noteCarried across unchanged from the Volkswagen brand-level check of on the existing Volkswagen records, including its confidence level; not re-sourced. |
