Volkswagen Announces Special Edition Transporter Trendline

MILTON KEYNES, England - July 28, 2006: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is launching the Trendline, a limited special edition of its best-selling Transporter van, offering customers extra equipment at an attractive price.

Based on the Transporter T28 short wheelbase panel van, the Trendline is available with a 1.9-litre 102 PS or 2.5-litre 130 PS engine.

Over and above the standard van’s specification, the Trendline gains air conditioning; electric windows and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors; internal central locking control; driver’s seat armrests; full bulkhead without window; Reflex Silver metallic paint*; and full diameter wheel trims. A rear-mounted Trendline badge denotes this special edition.

To add this equipment to the Transporter would cost over �1,500 ($2,800 USD, approx); yet the Trendline costs just �710 more than the T28 on which it is based (�510 for the 2.5-litre).

Prices for the Trendline start at �14,990 ($27,950 USD, approx.) - basic manufacturer's RRP excl VAT and on the road costs - for the 1.9-litre, with a �1,000 premium for the 2.5-litre version.

Like all Transporters, the Trendline also features a high level of standard safety and security specification, including ABS, traction control and a driver’s airbag; as well as deadlocks, remote central locking and an electronic engine immobiliser. And like all vans purchased through one of Volkswagen’s 70 Van Centres, it comes with a three year bumper-to-bumper warranty, 12 year anti-perforation warranty and three year paintwork guarantee.

The Trendline is available to order now, ready for delivery in September. Just 500 vehicles will be available.
