A Volkswagen já lançou diversos caminhões de sucesso no Brasil, como as séries 2000 e Meteor. No entanto, a série Constellation, lançada em 2005, é a mais relevante, trazendo modelos como 17.280, 32.360 e 25.460. Mas nem tudo são flores. Um modelo específico, o Constellation 25.370, lançado em 2007, manchou a reputação da série. Imagem: Apoixonados por Estrada/Divulgação

Volkswagen Has Launched Several Successful Trucks in Brazil, Such as the 2000 and Meteor Series. However, the Constellation Series, Launched in 2005, Is the Most Relevant, Bringing Models like 17.280, 32.360, and 25.460. But Not Everything Is Perfect. A Specific Model, the Constellation 25.370, Launched in 2007, Stained the Series’ Reputation.

The Constellation 25.370 Was One of the First Volkswagen Trucks Capable of Towing a B-Train, Equipped with an NGD 370 Engine Developed in Partnership with MWM and International. With Six Inline Cylinders, Turbo, and Intercooler, the Engine Offered 367 Horsepower and 63.3 kgf.m of Torque. However, This Engine Faced Serious and Recurring Problems, Such as Overheating, Which Occurred Even Before 200,000 km Were Driven.

The NGD 370 Engine Suffered from Overheating, a Problem That Volkswagen and Manufacturers Could Not Resolve at the Time and That Still Lacks a Definitive Explanation Today. It Is Believed That the Choice of the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System Contributed to the Problems as the System Recirculated Not Fully Filtered Gases with Sulfur, Which Transformed into Corrosive Sulfuric Acid, Causing Damage to the Engine.

The Problems with the Constellation 25.370 Caused Its Owners to Spend a Lot on Maintenance, Losing Profit and Productivity

In Addition, the Truck Depreciated Rapidly, Making Its Resale Extremely Difficult. Volkswagen Claimed That the NGD 370 Engine Was Tested for Over 3.5 Million Kilometers, But Many Believe That These Tests Were Primarily Conducted on the Model 19.370, Which Had Fewer Problems.

Despite the Mechanical Issues, the Constellation 25.370 Offered a Comfortable Cabin and Interesting Technological Features, Such as the Dual Power Brake (DPB) Engine Brake and the Partial Lifting Device for the Rear Axle (ETD), Which Helped with Traction. Visually, It Was a Beautiful Truck and Part of an Important Line.

Determining Whether the Constellation 25.370 Is the Worst Volkswagen Truck Is Complicated. In Terms of Performance, It May Not Be Fair to Compare It with Models from Previous Generations. However, Due to the Significant Losses Caused to Owners and the Stain on the Legacy of the Constellation Series, Many Believe That Yes, It Was the Worst Truck Volkswagen Made in Brazil.
