Which types of medium-sized Volkswagen vans are available?

What is the engine size on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1?
The T6.1 model comes in four different 2.0-litre engine options. These diesel engines can reach 90hp, 110hp, and 150hp, while the twin-turbo goes up to 199hp. The two engines with the lowest power have five-speed gearboxes. The 150hp engine unit comes with a six-speed box (standard) or seven-speed (optional). The highest-powered engine is automatically fitted with the seven-speed DSG gearbox.
What are the safety features on the Volkswagen Transporter 2020?
Volkswagen medium vans come with a range of safety features, for example, the Volkswagen Transporter 2020 includes the following:
Electronic Stability Control: ESC means that the vehicle is fitted with sensors that track the steering wheel's positioning, and travel direction. This feature activates when a driver loses control of the vehicle.
Auto Emergency Braking: AEB works by detecting objects, and braking automatically when the driver is unable to. The tech can help drivers to prevent a crash, or reduce the impact.
Lane Keep Assist: While this is not an automatically included safety feature, it is an optional one. Lane Keep Assist becomes active when a driver moves out of the correct lane. If the driver is not in the correct position, the technology adjusts the vehicle.

There are three more sections on the passenger side, a good-sized glove box, and cup holders on each side of the dashboard. The van also includes a 5.0in touchscreen and a panel for heating control.

How do the Volkswagen medium-sized vans handle?
You can expect a smooth and powerful ride, regardless of the VW Commercial model.
Both older and newer models handle excellently, though slightly differently. The new steering means that the 2020 Transporters are more precise than the older 2016 models, (which felt very lightweight to drive).
