Pricing for the All-New Volkswagen Crafter 50 Announced

Following its South African premiere at the Volkswagen Group Africa Indaba early in February 2025, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has announced pricing for the new Volkswagen Crafter 50 range.

The new range is available in an Extra-Long Wheelbase (4,490 mm in length),  rear-wheel drive and a choice of 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic gearbox. Its maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) is 5 tonnes and is available with an option of standard high roof or super high roof.  

The new Crafter draws on the design structure and quality of its ‘little brother’, the sixth-generation Transporter: while looking dynamic and contemporary, it offers the greatest possible payload, a cargo volume of up to 17.5 m3 and a maximum cargo space height of 2,096 mm.

The line-up will feature a new 2.0 BiTDI engine (120kW), and an 8-speed automatic for the first time. New standard features include air-conditioning, 10.3-inch infotainment console with radio functionality, Bluetooth connectivity and inductive charging. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster, electronic parking brake, multi-function steering wheel controls and keyless start (push-start) are also standard for an enhanced driving environment. 

Recommended Retail Price (VAT and emissions tax included):

Crafter 50 2.0 BiTDI 120kW 6-speed manual Panel Van R991 000
Crafter 50 2.0 BiTDI 120kW 6-speed manual Bus Conversion Ready R991 000
