The fifth generation of the VW Transporter hit the market in Europe late in 2003. It’s a direct successor to the T4 in its looks and utility value, unlike the Microbus concept car that VW had been showing around several years prior to the T5′s introduction. The Microbus concept was almost produced, but Volkswagen scuttled plans for building it due to cost problems. The entry level people mover in the Transporter range is the Kombi. It is available with every engine in the T5 range and is available in all roof heights and wheelbases. It can seat four to nine people. The Kombi is equipped with very basic features such as rubber flooring, heater for driver’s compartment, and side panel trim and headlining in the driver’s compartment. Optional features include central locking, air conditioning for front and rear compartments, electrically controlled & heated mirrors, sliding windows, ESP, side and curtain airbags, cruise control, electric windows, sunroof, and an electric sliding door.
