At first glance the new Crafter looks the way it always has: spacious, high-quality and comfortable. But upon closer inspection it becomes clear that there is much more to this large transporter from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: For example, the new Crafter\u2019s cockpit features a new infotainment system, with a free-standing display positioned in the middle of the dash panel. This, together with the Digital Cockpit \u2013 with which you can keep track of important information \u2013 and the standard multifunction display, makes operation intuitive. The system software offers modern apps, has the optional digital IDA voice assistant with ChatGPT integration \u2013 and offers a high degree of personalisation. Other new features include several electronic control elements such as the electronic parking brakes with auto-hold functionality and the selector switch of the optional 8-speed automatic gearbox, the control elements of the light functions, the keyboards in the centre of the console and all the vents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The spectrum of the new, now standard and optional assistants \u2013 which always operates within its system boundaries \u2013 take the Crafter product line to a new level. The following features now generally come as standard: Front Assist (emergence brake assist including cyclist and pedestrian detection), Lane Assist, road sign recognition, a speed limiter and an acoustic parking aid for the rear. Travel Assist is being offered as an option for the Crafter for the first time. It combines adaptive cruise control (ACC \u2013 automatic acceleration and braking) and Lane Assist. This can improve comfort and safety, particularly on long-distance journeys. Alongside Travel Assist, Emergency Assist (automatic braking and manoeuvring to the side of the road until the vehicle comes to a standstill) has also been introduced to the Crafter. The Crafter with a gross vehicle weight of over 3.5 tons (N2) now come with a blind spot information system as standard. This system can alert the driver to pedestrians and cyclists or scooter riders who are in the blind spot to the side of the vehicle when driving in the city (0-30 km\/h). Likewise, a moving off information system (can let the driver know whether there are pedestrians in front of the Crafter when they pull away) is now standard for models over 3.5 tons. This system is available as an option for vehicles with a gross weight of up to 3.5 tons (N1).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
