Volkswagen, Crafter, front, parked, wood

If you’re looking for a comfortable van that’s good to drive, then the Volkswagen Crafter can still cut it

Verdict

We really like the Crafter with its macho looks, oh so comfortable driving position and smooth engines.

However, as you don’t actually need Euro VI by law yet, we would opt for the Euro V variant instead. It doesn’t quite match the Euro VI fuel economy figure, but it’s cheaper to buy and you don’t have to worry about that AdBlue tank.
