I'm sure it's VW product as they own the truck manufacturer MAN. I've followed the new crafter news, since I was interested in getting one as a replacement for my aging T5 4motion, but when they've released the specs I lost my interest in the new crafter.
The reason?
First, there is a change from the longitudinally fitted engine gearbox to the east/west setup as in the old T5, Tiguan, Golf. To me it's not welcome change. Also, the engine option is only 2.0L TDI. There will be the RWD version with longitudinal setup later, but who knows if it would make it to AU.
I wish they'd kept the old Crafter drivetrain setup, since they're already using the same engine.
