Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Introduces Runner special Edition Models to Caddy Van and Transporter Ranges

BOTANY, AUSTRALIA – Aug 14, 2012: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has introduced new special edition Runner models to its Caddy and Transporter range of vans.

Available in limited numbers of 200 and 350 respectively, the Runner special edition vans represent exceptional value for commercial vehicle buyers.

Priced at $19,990 drive-away for the Caddy Van Runner Special Edition, and $29,990 drive-away for the Transporter Runner Special Edition, these vehicles offer a new entry-level price for both Caddy and Transporter ranges, previously starting at $21,990* for the Caddy Van Trendline and $36,740* for the Transporter Van.

Equipped to withstand the rigors of daily deliveries of courier drivers in Germany, the Runner special edition vans are identified by their hard-wearing, heavy duty ‘Runner’ trim, exclusive to the range, and unique ‘Runner’ badging.

The sharp drive-away pricing for both Runner variants represent outstanding value, given both models’ list of features including ESP, hill hold control, ‘climatic’ air conditioning and daytime running lights; along with the performance and efficiency of Volkswagen’s TSI and TDI engines.

The Caddy Van Runner is equipped with a 63kW/160Nm TSI 160 turbocharged petrol engine with a combined fuel cycle of 6.9l/100km; while the Transporter features a TDI 250 75kW/250Nm turbocharged diesel engine, maintaining an impressive balance of pulling power with frugal 7.5l/100km fuel economy.

Durable and efficient, both Caddy and Transporter Runner special editions are also versatile – offering 800 and 1149kg payloads respectively.

Available now until sold at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships, and come with a 3-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
