The new Transporter Sportline

For more than 20 years, Transporter Sportline has been the UK’s original sports van – a model with an instantly recognisable identity and a loyal following built on distinctive design and everyday usability. The new Transporter Sportline continues that legacy at the top of the line‑up. It combines everyday practicality with a sharper, more expressive look and a more premium feel, whether chosen as a panel van or a kombi with space for six people (five as standard) for crew and cargo.

Sportline turns up the visual drama inside and out. On the outside you’ll find distinctive 19‑inch alloy wheels, lowered suspension, a more assertive front bumper, side bars and a roof spoiler that all add to its presence on the road.

Inside, there’s a more upmarket feel, with eco‑leather seats featuring contrast stitching, a heated leatherette steering wheel and branded floor mats to remind you you are in something special. Advanced LED Matrix headlights and tail lights complete the look and give superb visibility.

The new Transporter Sportline offers a choice of powertrains to suit how and where you drive.

• Diesel: 2.0 TDI  170 PS 8-speed automatic, with 4Motion variant coming later in 2026
• All-electric (e‑Transporter):  218PS 70 kWh and 286PS 70 kWh 1-speed automatic
• Plug-in Hybrid (eHybrid): 2.5 232PS 8-speed automatic coming later in 2026

Transporter Sportline models come with our 5 Plus Promise included in the price. This brings together a 5‑year warranty (up to 124,000 miles), 5 years of roadside assistance, 5 services and 3 MOTs,  giving you long‑term cover and peace of mind.  For electric vehicles 3 services and 3 MOTs. 5yr/124,000 mile warranty. Limitations, exclusions & T&C's apply. 

Sportline 75 is a very exclusive special edition created to mark 75 years of the VW Bus. Only 75 individually numbered vans are being built. Each one is finished in exclusive Moss Green paint with black exterior detailing, Sportline 75 badging on the mirrors and bespoke green contrast stitching on the leather interior. It’s a rare chance to own a Transporter that celebrates the heritage of the original with a very modern edge.

The following driver assistance technology comes as standard on the Transporter Sportline:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with predictive speed limiter: Maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front, adjusting speed automatically.
• Front collision warning with braking, including Cross Traffic Assist, oncoming vehicle braking and swerve support
• Lane Assist: Helps keep the van within lane markings on motorways and dual carriageways.
• Blind Spot Assist: Provides warnings of vehicles in the driver's blind spot during lane changes.
• Area View Camera System: Uses multiple cameras to provide a 360-degree view, aiding in navigating confined spaces.
• Keyless Access: Provides keyless locking and starting.
• Dynamic Road Sign Display and wrong-way driver warning
• Driver Alert System: Monitors driving behaviour to warn of driver fatigue.

Transporter Sportline is now open for order, with first customer deliveries planned from May. Your local Volkswagen Van Centre can confirm exact timings and availability.

Both Commerce Pro S and Sportline turn the everyday Transporter into something a bit smarter. Commerce Pro S gives you a clean, professional look and a high level of standard equipment, including sporty touches, without going all the way to full Sportline.

Sportline turns things up another level and introduces a bolder, more assertive appearance with pronounced front and rear styling elements, with larger 19‑inch alloys (instead of 17‑inch), more premium eco‑leather seating in place of fabric and extra design and comfort details that set it apart as the flagship of the range.

The Transporter Sportline starts from £52,375 OTR excl. VAT at 20% (£62,767 incl. VAT) for the TDI Panel Van model, and £54,355 OTR excl. VAT at 20% (£65,143 incl. VAT)  for the TDI Kombi model. Configure yours today to find the perfect Sportline for you.
