Performance that steals the show
A smooth mover with big capacity
Powered by a 2.0 L twin-turbo diesel engine engineered for durability, the Crafter delivers enough torque to pull big gear all day. That means confident power under load without feeling strained. An 8-speed automatic transmission keeps acceleration smooth and cruising efficient, helping you cover long days with less effort behind the wheel.
A drivetrain for all occasions
Choose the drive system that suits the task, pick between front-wheel drive for load space and maneuverability, rear-wheel drive for more control when carrying heavier payloads and towing, or 4MOTION all-wheel drive for added traction on worksites and uneven terrain. Add a braked towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg2 and fuel-saving technologies like common-rail injection and engine stop-start, you’ve got a commercial van built to handle serious work.
