Stirrings among the people movers

VW has added the luxurious PanAmericana to the Caravelle line up.
A 2.0 turbo diesel makes 132 kW and 400 Nm from a very low 1 500 rpm and the 4MOTION system can send this power to all wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
Selling for ZAR955 400 with a five-year/60 000km maintenance plan, a three-year/ 120 000 km warranty, the PanAmericana faces stiff competition from Merc’s V-Class 250 D and Hyundai’s H1
Bus.
Merc currently offers ZAR25 000 deal assist on their van’s ZAR949 020 price, with service intervals of up to 40 000 km, a more powerful turbo diesel (140 kW and 440 Nm) and a six-year/100 000 km maintenance plan.

The nine-seater, automatic H1 sells for ZAR639 900, with a best-in-class seven-year or 200 000km warranty, and if you down spec to the entry level, you can have two of these fine South Korean buses for the price of one German, ja?
