When production of the Volkswagen T4 started in August 1990, also known as a Eurovan in the USA, it was a huge leap of faith that the fans of the rear engined Transporters would accept it. After a slow start the T4 has become a very popular model with VW fans, tradesmen using them as a works van, motorhome owners and people looking for a truly multipurpose leisure vehicle.
T4 was a completely new model using modern ideas, many taken from the Golf and Passat range. Being front engined, front wheel drive and having a monocoque construction, broke nearly all its links to 50 years of heritage.
T4 model variants
Built at the dedicated Transporter factory in Hanover, Germany, it was available in SWB (Short Wheel Base) or LWB (Long Wheel Base). The range (Excluding custom-built models) consists of:
● Panel Van (no side windows)
● Eurovan (2 side windows, sliding door and opposite)
● Kombi (windows but no rear seating)
● Caravelle (5, 7, 8, 9 seat options)
● Single Cab Pickup
● Double Cab Pickup
● Syncro (4×4 available all models)
Increasingly VW T4 vans are being converted into campers and day vans.
