Volkswagen Crafter Philippines Overview

Made by German car marque Volkswagen, the Crafter is a 9-seater, high-ceiling van that was first introduced in 2006. This model replaced one of the brand's longest-running vehicles, the LT van which had been around since the 1970s. The Crafter derived its looks from another German van created by Mercedes called the Sprinter. The Crafter is one of the most spacious vehicles in the market today, with 6 captain seats laid out individually and a 32-inch Samsung TV. To accommodate your GPS needs, it conveniently features a touchscreen with navigation capabilities. In terms of safety, the Crafter features an electric sliding door that can easily be controlled by the driver and passengers. The van also has window blinds to add an extra layer of exclusivity. Its diesel engine makes it more economical for long drives, adding to the convenience of its physical and interior features.
