Volkswagen Commercial vehicles has ‘teed-off’ an early incentive for van and pickup buyers to purchase new vehicles before the end of the Financial Year – Crafter van and Amarok have joined the value-packed ‘Runner’ special edition range.
The ‘Runner’ version of the Amarok is priced at $26,990 ‘Driveaway’ while the excellent Crafter ‘Runner’ is yours for $39,990 ‘Driveaway’.
They join the limited edition Caddy van ‘Runner’ and Transporter ‘Runner’ in offering great value for commercial vehicle buyers. Only 100 Volkswagen Crafter ‘Runner’ models will be built and the ‘Runner’ version of the Amarok is even rarer with only 90 slated for production.
The Volkswagen Crafter ‘Runner’ is based on the Crafter 35 (80kW/300Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel) while the Amarok ‘Runner’ is a single cab pick-up with the Volkswagen accessories alloy tray and powered by a 118kW/300Nm turbocharged petrol engine.
For payload, chalk-up 1537kgs for the Crafter or 1303kgs for the Amarok.
Among the ‘Runner’ extras is unique, hard-wearing interior trim – it’s those sort of insights into product planning which Volkswagen does so well.
