    "The Line Up"

 

Much speculation has been raised over the last few months the cold hard facts are with the emmisions laws getting ever stricter Volkswagen have reverted back to common rail diesel engined models and dropped some of the higher powered versions, to the clear displeasure of some, certainly not the enviromentalists amonget us i wouldn't of thought.

 

"THe New Interior"

 

In a press statement issued via a German website the following information was released:

New generation by transporter, Multivan, Caravelle and California: New edition of the best-seller series starts in the autumn 2009 • New Common Rail TDI lowers consumption over up to 1,9 litres • New front portion follows the stylistic sharpened Volkswagen Design DNA • New Infotainment and Assistenzsysteme optimize comfort and security • New ESP generation inclusive mountain starting assistant always in series on board Hanover, 19 August 2009. Transporter, Caravelle, Multivan and California - those are the four basic versions of a millionfold built world best-seller. For the fan club - suppliers, craftsmen, families, businessmen and globetrotters - these multi-talents automobiles a world view, a synonym for unrestricted mobility and variability are. With the world premiere of Multivan and California on the international motor show (IAA) in September 2009 a new generation of the success models starts of Volkswagen commercial motor vehicles through in few weeks. The extensively perfected new edition is more economically, more emissionsärmer, economical, comfortable, safe, cleverer and sovereignly than ever before. Already to the IAA the advance booking of all four basic versions begins. Fine cross section and Hightech for a best-seller The body organization of the best-seller follows now the new Volkswagen Design DNA. Particularly the front portion of the series shows still sovereign courses. An enormous leap those makes internally for T5 series mentioned besides technically. Example engines: The new, more economical and extremely quiet turbo-Diesels (TDI) order now over an Common Rail injection. Owing to the new TDI the values consumed sink over up to 1,9 litres and the CO2-Emissionen similarly around 52 g/km; all engines fulfill besides the EU-5-Abgasnorm. Beyond that world-wide for the first time optionally a 7-Gang-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DSG) comes to the employment in this class. Likewise as option is available besides a new, electronically steered all-wheel drive (4Motion with Haldex clutch of the 4th generation), for which also beyond fastened roads coming through makes possible. A new fact is with the fact the fact that Volkswagen a utilizable driver witness will when desired offer a 4Motion-Version to the turn of the year also in connection with DSG. Security is with standard mountain starting assistant, perfected ESP, new warning flashing function of the stop lights (emergency brake warning) and new optional Assistenzsystemen further improved. Beyond that the Interieur offers new instruments, steering wheels, radio/navigation systems, materials and a plus at ergonomic perfection. Four new Common Rail TDI and double clutch transmissions Due to the new four-cylinders diesel engines with Common Rail injection the series - the number 1 of its class in Germany and Europe - define economic like ecologically new optima. The TDI (1,968 cm3) with 62 KW/84 HP, 75 KW/102 HP, 103 KW/140 HP and 132 KW/180 HP is offered. Up to the performance level of 140 HP in each case a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry provides for thrust; into the 180-PS-Topversion inserts Volkswagen commercial motor vehicles besides regulated in two stages a loading via Bi-turbochargerThis form of Downsizing is realized for the first time thereby in this capacity range of the self fuzes in Volkswagen the company. Most largely the consumption advantage is with in a transporter, Van world-wide for the first time or travelmobilely assigned 7-Gang-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (DSG): In the comparison to the predecessor with 6-Gang-Automatik consumption sinks into the 180-PS-Version over up to 1,9 litres. Was taken over meanwhile 85 KW/115 HP-Benziner, which fulfills the EU5-Abgasnorm now. On average total rank the CO2-Emissionen and values consumed could be lowered opposite the predecessors around ten per cent. For the manually switched variants with front wheel drive consumption and CO2-Spektrum* is enough of 7,2 litres/190 g/km CO2 (84 HP and 102 HP) to 7.5 litres/197 g/km CO2 (180 HP) - those are up to 0,9 litres less than before. All four diesel engines show an extremely agiles responsing mode. And already scarcely over the idling speed: Already the smallest TDI with 84 HP develops a torque maximum starting from 1.250 rpm of 220 Newtonmeters. In the 102-PS-Variante are there 250 Newtonmeters starting from 1.500 rpm, the 140-PS-TDI bring it starting from 1.750 rpm on strong 340 Newtonmeters and the 180-PS-TDI lifts starting from 1.500 rpm of sovereigns of 400 Newtonmeters on the crankshaft. Of course is always a particle filter on board. Multivan and CO. follow new Volkswagen Design DNA Optically the new generation gives itself to recognize among other things by its completely modified front portion. Clear, horizontal lines let the series work high-quality and more timeless. Always in black held are the transverse clips of the radiator grille grille. In the case of the transporter (box car, combination, plank bed car), Caravelle trend LINE and California Beach they are matt black. Caravelle Comfortline, Multivan (leisure and Business Van) and California Comfortline (travelmobile) exhibit meanwhile high gloss black transverse clips with one chrome strip each. The upper this strip is extended optically into the again arranged headlight. The likewise again sketched fog headlights in the bumper serve for the first time parallel as static bending light. The tail range of the Caravelle, Multivan and California differentiates itself of the predecessor over new and now likewise with the current Design DNA corresponding tail lamps. Interieur strikes bridge to the passenger car range The Interieur of the series was revised likewise. Example of instruments: Again arranged, are they white behind-shine now and with an edge of chrome provided. Each model of the new generation orders in series over a switching recommendation. At the same time the entire spectrum of the radio and navigation systems was updated. New Topgerät is the RNS 510 with Touchscreen and non removable disk navigation. Acoustic concert hall quality supplies an optionally available Dynaudio Soundsystem. The perfect binding of e.g. MP3-Playern makes the USB interface possible Media IN. Again on board the control panels are half and fully automatic air conditioning systems as well as the three-spoke steering wheels. Was extended besides in many versions the standard. Clearly revalued the Multivan starting LINE presents itself: Among other things the basic version is characterised now opposite the predecessor in the Interieur by a completely disguised interior, side and a Kopfairbags for driver and front seat passengers. In series painted bumpers underline the affiliation in the Exterieur to the Multivan family. The transporters can read but emergency lease with a again conceived two-passenger seat bank and a swinging out shelf integrated here to be ordered. Already soon: The introduction on the market of the new generation takes place starting from in the middle of Octobers.
