Volkswagen’s transporter ute, single or dual cab, it is not for an active young family. It is a work-horse It’s for taking people and materials to and from a work site, not for long holiday trips with the kids in their seats, and the surfboards in the tray.
It has Good visibility, All wheel drive option
Room for three people in the front seats –if at least one is very thin
Good twin turbo diesel engine with great throttle response.
Big aluminum tray, with the right cargo anchor points and easy to use side panels

But the dual cab only has a bench seat in the back with no child anchor points, the rear door windows don’t open, no rear-view camera nor parking warning devices.
The Vdub ute is priced from $57,500 for the two-wheel drive and $60,500 for the all-wheel drive plus on roads.
