 | | | Volkswagen’s dynamic Sportline van range is proving more successful than ever.
Despite the current economic climate, Sportline sales are already
ahead of this time last year, and if success continues at the same
rate, boosted by the introduction this week of a Transporter Sportline
Limited Edition X model, sales are predicted to be over 30 per cent ahead of 2008.
Part of this great performance is thanks to the addition of the Caddy and Caddy Maxi Sportline models in late 2008, which are already about to exceed their sales forecast for 2009,
plus the five-seat Transporter Sportline kombi model, also introduced
last year, which has instantly become the most popular model in the
range this year.
There will only be 150
of the Transporter Sportline Limited Edition X models, and they will be
available in short and long wheelbase panel van or short wheelbase
kombi. Each vehicle will be individually numbered, with a certificate
for the owner.
In addition to the standard Transporter Sportline specification of 18-inch
alloy wheels, chrome grilles and side sills, leather seats and front
and rear spoilers, the Transporter Sportline X models gain distinctive,
chrome and black ‘Dakar’ alloy wheels, ‘leather pack’ (leather steering
wheel and gear lever), specially designed black and blue leather seats
with limited edition numbered tag, Sportline floor mats, and rear
parking sensors. There is a choice of two metallic paint colours –
Reflex Silver, and for the first time for the Sportline range, Shadow
Blue.
This unique specification and distinctive appearance is available for only £500 more than the equivalent Transporter Sportline T30, 174 PS, 2.5-litre TDI PD, with basic retail prices (including metallic paint) of £25,065 for the short wheelbase panel van, £25,545 for the long wheelbase panel van, and £26,805 for the kombi. |
