To
maintain its position as a lifestyle vehicle of choice, has
introduced a new round of innovations to the Bus range - including the
addition of a special edition Microbus 2.6i Active crammed with new
features.
 There
can be few lifestyle vehicles that have captured the hearts and minds of
the South African public in the manner of Volkswagen's Bus range. For more
than three decades - through successive model changes - Volkswagen's
people carrier has remained a vehicle of choice for families large and
small.
In its latest round of upgrades to the Bus range, VWSA has replaced the
Caravelle Exclusiv – a vehicle that was one of the first in the country
to feature two rear-facing seats and a cooler box as innovations - with
the Microbus 2.6i Active. The Active includes a number of new features
designed to improve comfort and convenience, confirming Volkswagen's drive
for greater value-for-money.
The revised Bus range consists of four models - the Microbus 2.3i,
Microbus 2.6i, Caravelle 2.6i and the special edition Microbus 2.6i
Active.
New standard features across the range include improved interior lighting
in the luggage area and a roof-mounted high-level  brake
light. To an already full list of well-appointed features a number
of additional lifestyle enhancers have been added to the Active and the
Caravelle. The Active shares the addition of a rear luggage net with the
Caravelle in the latest upgrades, along with standard head restraints on
the centre and rear bench, a useful storage tray under the centre bench
and, carried over from the Exclusiv, a cooler box under the centre bench.
Over and above all this the Active also now has side steps on both sides
of the vehicle as well as a CD player as standard.
The Active is powered by the same 2.6 litre, 100 kW five-cylinder
powerplant that is also found in the Microbus 2.6i and the Caravelle 2.6i.
All Bus models are covered by Volkswagen's three year/120 000 km warranty. |
