Although visually similar to the eView, the C2 drops the blue EV trim, sealed front grille, and body-coloured bumpers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed to challenge the likes of the Toyota HiAce, the View C2 is offered exclusively in long-wheelbase configuration. This setup provides a load bay length of 2,820 mm, a maximum payload capacity of 1,200 kg, and a total cargo volume of 5.66 cubic metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some of its competitors, the View C2 features a flip-up tailgate and dual manually sliding side doors, delivering practicality for loading in tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gauteng-image-1750926791-1024x731.png\" alt=\"Gauteng News Image\" class=\"wp-image-11762\" style=\"width:522px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-3860365316\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-under-the-bonnet\">Under the Bonnet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing the eView&#8217;s electric motor is a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, the same unit found in the View CS2. It delivers 101 kW and 330 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
