Volkswagen Transporter T32 SWB Electric: The Future-Proof Van That’s Built for Real Work
If you’re looking for a van that still feels tough and dependable, but comes with all the smooth, modern tech you’d expect from an electric vehicle… then the Volkswagen Transporter T32 SWB Electric is sitting there like “yeah, I’m him.”
It’s clean, clever, and built to handle work life without feeling like you’re driving a slow, boring metal box. This is the kind of van that makes your day easier the second you jump inside.
A Cabin That Feels Like a High-Tech Cockpit
The first thing you’ll notice is how upgraded the interior feels. VW didn’t just throw a screen in and call it a day… the Transporter comes properly loaded.
You’re getting a 12” digital driver’s display, giving you all the info you need right in front of you, looking sharp and easy to read. Then in the middle you’ve got a big 13” touchscreen infotainment system, complete with DAB radioand Wireless App Connect, so you’re not messing about with cables every time you hop in.
And yes, it’s fully loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which means your navigation, music and calls are all right there with no drama.
Smart Driving Support That’s Actually Useful
This van isn’t just about looking good on the inside — it’s got the kind of driver support that takes the stress out of busy roads and long shifts.
You’ve got Cruise Control for those motorway runs, plus a Dynamic Road Sign Display that helps you keep up with speed changes without having to squint at every sign you pass.
Then there’s Lane Assist, which is perfect for when you’ve been on the road all day and just want that extra layer of confidence. Add in Driver Assistance Plus, and you start realising this isn’t a “basic work van”… it’s built like a proper premium machine.
Parking Made Easy (Even When You’re Tight on Space)
Let’s be real — a SWB van already helps when it comes to parking, but VW still said “nah, we’ll make it even easier.”
With front and rear parking sensors plus a rear view camera, you can reverse into tight spots cleanly and confidently without doing that little panic shuffle in your seat.
Perfect for city jobs, tight yards, awkward loading bays… all of it.
Comfort That Hits Different for a Work Van
Now this is where it gets disrespectful… because the comfort setup is genuinely nice.
You’ve got a 3-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel, so everything feels premium, not plasticky and cheap.
Then for the driver, you’re sat in a 6-way heated manually adjustable seat with 2-way adjustable lumbar support, which is exactly what you want if you’re spending all day behind the wheel.
Even better, your passenger isn’t left freezing either — because the Transporter also includes heated dual front passenger seats. That’s a big win for anyone running a team, carrying staff, or just wanting the cabin to feel proper comfortable all year round.
Serious Security for Serious Peace of Mind
If you’re carrying tools, stock, equipment or anything valuable… security matters.
The Transporter T32 SWB Electric comes with an anti-theft alarm system, including interior monitoring in the cab, a backup horn, and even towing protection — so if anyone tries moving your van when it’s parked up, it’s not staying quiet about it.
That’s the kind of protection that helps you sleep at night.
Electric Performance: Smooth, Simple, and Built for Daily Use
Here’s the part everyone’s looking at now… the electric side.
This Transporter is fully electric, with up to 201 (depending on version may be higher or lower) miles of range, which is more than enough for a full day of running jobs, deliveries, commuting, or bouncing between sites.
It’s also automatic, so it’s smooth through traffic and easy to drive whether you’re in town or cruising.
Performance-wise, it does 0–62mph in 12.80 seconds, with a maximum speed of 70mph — and that’s totally fine for a working van, especially one focused on efficiency and steady day-to-day driving.
Power comes in at 136bhp, giving it that clean pull-away feel electric vans do so well, without the usual noisy diesel stress.
Payload? It’s Still Ready to Work
Some electric vans are great… until you realise they can’t actually carry much.
Not this one.
The Transporter T32 SWB Electric brings a strong 896kg payload, making it a proper option for trades, business use, equipment runs and daily work.
Final Thoughts: A Van That Makes Work Feel Easier
The Volkswagen Transporter T32 SWB Electric is the kind of van that fits right into modern work life. It’s got the tech to keep things smooth, the comfort to keep you sane, and the payload to keep it practical.
If you want something that looks professional, drives easy, and sets you up for the electric future without sacrificing capability — this Transporter is a serious move.
