VW T4 – The Modern Adventurer’s Van
The VW T4, also known as the "Transporter" or "Eurovan" in certain markets, was the van that brought Volkswagen into the modern age of adventure and practicality. Introduced in 1990, it marked a major shift for VW’s iconic van lineup, moving to a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and offering a level of comfort, reliability, and versatility that appealed to everyone from campers to business owners.
This was the van for the ‘90s—a sleek, capable machine that still had all the charm and character that made VW buses legendary. Whether you were cruising through city streets or tackling cross-country road trips, the T4 was up for the challenge.
A New Era of Design
With the T4, Volkswagen introduced a streamlined, angular design that screamed functionality and modernity. Gone were the boxy vibes of the T3; the T4 was more aerodynamic, more spacious, and more refined.
The interior was just as impressive as the exterior. The cabin was thoughtfully designed with comfort and convenience in mind, featuring ergonomic seating, intuitive controls, and enough space to comfortably transport people, cargo, or both. Camper conversions, like the beloved Westfalia versions, included pop-up roofs, fold-out beds, and mini kitchens, making the T4 a dream for weekend warriors and full-time van lifers alike.
Performance That Delivers
The T4 wasn’t just about looks—it had the power to back it up. With a range of engine options, from efficient diesels to punchy petrols, the T4 could handle daily commutes, highway cruising, and even long-haul road trips with ease.
For those seeking adventure, the Syncro all-wheel-drive versions brought rugged capability to the table. Whether you were navigating snowy mountain passes or sandy beach trails, the T4 Syncro made sure nothing stood in your way.
Built for Everyone
The T4 wasn’t just a camper’s dream—it was a van for everyone. Need a reliable workhorse for your small business? The T4 had you covered. Looking for a spacious family vehicle that could handle all the kids’ gear and then some? Check. Want a stylish, functional van for exploring the great outdoors? Absolutely.
From commercial panel vans to luxury Caravelle models, the T4 came in countless configurations to suit every need. It was this adaptability that made it a hit across Europe, North America, and beyond.
