Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has opened the order books for the highly anticipated new Transporter Sportline, now available to UK customers in both Panel van and Kombi configurations. With prices starting at £51,105 excluding VAT, the Sportline sets a new benchmark for luxury and performance in the iconic Transporter line-up.

Designed for those who demand more from their commercial vehicle, the Transporter Sportline offers a premium, driver-focused experience with a host of exclusive exterior and interior enhancements. Its distinctive Sportline styling features a gloss black grille with a signature red accent, Sportline-specific bumpers, a sculpted rear spoiler, 19-inch dual-finish alloy wheels, and a 29mm lowered suspension that gives it a commanding yet athletic presence on the road.

Inside, the cabin delivers a refined, high-quality environment with hand-crafted eco-leather sports seats embroidered with red stitching, Sportline-branded floor mats, and high-gloss black display surrounds. The attention to detail extends to heated leather steering, illuminated metal scuff plates, footwell lighting, and a dashboard plaque that proudly proclaims the Sportline identity.

Flexibility is at the heart of the new Transporter Sportline, with a choice of wheelbase options and diesel or electric powertrains, while the eHybrid variant will follow. Customers can take advantage of competitive finance options, including a Solutions Personal Contract Plan from £589 per month with a £5,000 deposit contribution, making it easier than ever to access this premium vehicle. First deliveries are expected in May 2026.

Safety and convenience features are comprehensive, with IQ Light LED Matrix headlamps, power-adjustable heated mirrors, Keyless Access with SAFELOCK, an area view camera, and a robust 70-litre fuel tank for diesel models. The entire Transporter line-up is supported by Volkswagen’s 5+ Promise, offering five services, three MOTs, a five-year warranty, and five years of roadside assistance at no extra cost.

With the new Transporter Sportline, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles continues to redefine the standards of what a premium, performance-led commercial vehicle can be, blending style, practicality, and driver-focused innovation into one standout package.
