Sportline’s distinctive character is defined by a suite of exclusive exterior enhancements. Sportline-specific front and rear bumpers, a rear spoiler, gloss black grille, mirror caps and badging are combined with side skirts, roof rails and a 29mm lowered suspension to deliver a purposeful, planted stance. Exclusive 19-inch dual-finish alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, and a Sportline signature red grille together complete a look that is instantly identifiable as Sportline.

Inside, Sportline adopts a premium, driver-centred cabin with embossed, hand-crafted eco-leather sports seats with red stitching, a heated leather steering wheel and Sportline-branded floor mats. Additional details such as illuminated metal scuff plates, footwell lighting, high-gloss black display surrounds and illuminated sun visors elevate the everyday driving experience.

Transporter Sportline includes a comprehensive suite of comfort, safety and driver assistance technologies. Keyless Access with SAFELOCK, Area View camera, heated and power-folding mirrors, and advanced driver assistance systems are all standard, supporting everyday usability alongside its distinctive design.

Marking 75 years since the iconic Volkswagen Bus went into production, a limited-run Transporter Sportline 75 Special Edition is available. Only 75 units are to be produced, featuring exclusive Moss Green solid paint, bespoke contrast green stitching on the upholstery and steering wheel, as well as unique mirror caps with a ‘Sportline 75’ logo. Each vehicle will be individually numbered, underscoring the exclusivity of each vehicle. Customer registrations to acquire this limited-edition van will open soon. Prices for the limited-run Transporter Sportline 75 Special Edition will start from £52,605 for the panel van model, and £54,585 for the Kombi model, both available as short wheelbase (SWB).1

In addition to the Sportline trim level, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is also adding a Commerce Pro S level which further expands the Transporter range with a sharper, design-led option for customers seeking professional presence with added visual distinction. Distinctive exterior styling gives Commerce Pro S a clean, purposeful appearance, with exclusive gloss black 17-inch alloy wheels, a body-coloured front splitter, extended rear spoiler and gloss black grille detailing. Angular side bars and black mirror caps further enhance its sharp, modern stance, delivering visual presence that feels considered and professional.

The new Commerce Pro S will be available to order from late February, with first deliveries landing in April. Following this, the Transporter Sportline will open for orders in April, ahead of deliveries beginning in May.

Prices for the Commerce Pro S are as follows.
