The new 2020 model of the Volkswagen Multivan T6 brand is a true representative of the company, as it is made in its best traditions. In the foreground you can see a shortened hood, with barely noticeable stamping stripes.

Impressive exterior design

The main element was an elongated radiator grille with two transverse chrome lines.

Large rectangular headlights with one cut corner and LED edging look beautiful in the new Volkswagen Multivan 2020 2021 body. The bumper in front of the new product has become massive and neat. Now it is decorated with a huge air intake slot, on the sides of which there are fog lights.

The dimensions of the Volkswagen Multivan are as befits a minibus. Its height was 1970 mm, width 1904 mm, length 4904 mm. On the sides you can see large mirrors. The newcomer received a larger area of ​​\u200b\u200bside glazing, which significantly improved visibility. The door leading to the cabin is hinged. The second, salon, sliding.

There is a large emergency exit door at the rear. Considering its size, we can assume that the width of the opening is fully adequate for easy boarding and disembarking of passengers. As shown in the photo, large vertical lights with LED strips are installed on the sides. In the top configuration they are fully LED.

Spacious bus interior

The interior of the new Volkswagen Multivan model of the 2020-2021 release is simply amazing with its size and the availability of free space for both the driver and passengers. The eye immediately catches the front panel. It's just huge and wide. A significant part of it is given to the central console. On its top there is a large multimedia screen of the latest navigation system, limited on both sides by vertical deflectors.

In the photo of the interior of the new 2020 Volkswagen Multivan, you can see that the number of buttons on it has been significantly reduced. Separately, I would like to dwell on the gear shift panel. In the new version, it is “stuck” to the bottom of the front panel. Its compact dimensions made it possible to significantly expand the free space. The gear shift lever is located near the steering wheel, which is convenient for the driver.

According to reviews from owners of the new 2020 Volkswagen Multiven, the main differences of the new model are concentrated at the rear. The second row is represented by separate seats that can rotate around their axis by 360 degrees. The third row is a comfortable sofa that can accommodate three passengers. The main advantage of the bus is the wide folding capabilities of the interior.

Equipment:

• front, side Airbags for driver and front passenger;
• semi-automatic air conditioning;
• front, rear parking sensors;
• rain, light sensor;
• heated front seats;
• ABS option;
• directional stability function;
• start assistant;
• LED daytime running lights;
• fog lights.

Variety of technical components

What are the technical characteristics of the new Volkswagen Multivan model 2020 2021? The range of power units is very diverse. Russian motorists will be able to choose between diesel and petrol options.

There is also a choice of transmissions. The manufacturer offers a 5-6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed robotic automatic transmission with two clutches.

It is known that the price for the latest generation starts at 2,399,000 rubles. For the most equipped version, the manufacturer asks for at least 2,850,000 rubles. It is also possible to order some additional options. In total, car enthusiasts will be presented with as many as three configurations of the Volkswagen Multivan model 2020 2021.

The following optional equipment is offered:

• adaptive chassis;
• all-LED optics;
• three-zone climate control system;
• two-tone body paint.

Vivid rivals of the multivan

Of the total number of potential competitors of the 2021 Volkswagen Multivan, I consider Fiat Ducato and Hyundai N-1 the most worthy. The appearance of the first rival is noticeably brighter than that of Volkswagen and has the same spacious interior. The equipment does not let us down, which includes many of the latest functions. The car has good visibility and comfortable suspension.

A disappointment for many Fiat owners was the small road clearance, which is much lower than even that of a simple GAZelle. The build quality is low compared to the new Volkswagen Multven 2020 2021 model. In winter, the interior warms up very slowly, and the engine starts only after several attempts.

The appearance of the Hyundai N-1 deserves attention and praise. The car looks graceful, stylish, presentable. But the 2020 Volkswagen Multivan is also not far behind. The cabin is perfect for moving not only large loads, but also, of course, passengers. The pride of the bus is its high road clearance, which is 19 cm. Plus, excellent handling, maneuverability, and dynamism.

Among the shortcomings of the Hyundai, I can highlight a weak hydraulic booster and too stiff suspension. You will not be able to fold the seats of rows two and three, no matter how hard you try. Over time, “crickets” begin to appear in the cabin, which are very annoying.

Disadvantages and advantages of the model

If you want to learn more about the Volkswagen Multiven 2020 2021, watch the test drive video. I want to say that the car has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

• spacious interior;
• transformation possibilities;
• flawless operation of the automatic transmission;
• decent dynamics, and of course, maneuverability;
• reliable new Volkswagen Multivan 2020 body;
• good visibility.

• quite high price;
• expensive maintenance;
• rigid suspension;
• tendency to roll;
• weak paintwork;
• mediocre sound insulation.

Not wanting to spoil what was good with what was good, the Germans decided not to make significant changes to the design of the Volkswagen Multivan during the creation of the T6. As a result, the new generation of the legendary “bus” turned out to be exactly what buyers want it to be - solid, practical and high-status.

New Volkswagen Multivan salon

Since the new product is based on an older platform, and the body essentially remains the same, there are very few external changes. The headlights, radiator grille and bumpers have undergone traditional restyling. But inside the big guy, the designers found great courage, as evidenced by a completely different front panel. New ones can also be called: steering wheel, gear selector, design of the main and additional glove boxes, multimedia system, door card trim. Solid, nice-to-touch plastic and tight assembly are attributes of any of the configurations. True, the basic level of equipment “pleases” with open shelves opposite the front passenger. If you want more gloss and noble surfaces, then start your choice with the Comfortline version.

But the powerful side of a minivan, as you know, is its spaciousness. And the Multivan T6 has everything in order with this – up to eight seats including the driver’s or 4.3 sq. m of usable area including trunk. As with other characteristics, the model here does not offer anything new - the volume remains the same. But the level of technicality of its design was clearly increased.

The standard Trendline configuration (a more affordable option like the Conceptline, as on the new Caddy, is not yet offered) is a five-seater, with two front seats and a continuous rear sofa for three people. It’s nice that as a standard there is a folding table (cleanly hidden in the sliding door), which can be easily installed in the cabin or taken outside (seats can be used in the same way on the beach). As an option, the manufacturer offers original swivel seats - in the middle row, on common rear rails, a pair of such seats can be installed. Subject to the subjective wishes of the riders, the chairs are installed in the direction of travel or against it - rolled out towards the inhabitants of the gallery.

In the middle Comfortline configuration, second-line seats are standard, but a folding table, the design of which had to be revised, is an inverted option. Therefore, you can seat at least six people in such a salon. Other perks include lids on all glove compartments in the front panel and a Composition Color multimedia system with a 5-inch touch screen instead of the original Composition Audio with a monochrome screen. Above both lines of passenger seats there are comfortable roof panels with integrated air deflectors and downlights for reading. A choice of fabric upholstery is also available, and the steering wheel and gearshift lever sport a leather wrap. Full leather interior is an option.

Top-of-the-range Highline and Generation SIX model

The new version of Multiven has a radically redesigned front panel

In the maximum configuration, the side doors slide themselves. The electric drive is activated by a button on the door, front console or remote control. The seven-seat cabin is replete with black/gray Salcantara leather. For an extra charge there is smooth nappa in the same tones. Under the feet of the driver and front passenger lie velor floor mats with a rubberized base. But the real know-how of the Highline version can be found in the multifunctional round table, which is installed between the separate seats of the second row and, if necessary, rolls out on rails into the center of the cabin.

Another significant feature of the maximum equipment is thickened glazing with black-haired (60% darkening) tinting. And this is in addition to the standard sunblinds, which are installed starting with Comfortline. As a result, riders suffer less from ultraviolet radiation and intrusive gazes.

Wanting to emphasize that the new reincarnation of the bestseller has become closer to the passenger car cohort, the company has further expanded the line with an exclusive version of Generation SIX. Its main differences: a two-tone body, a similar interior and 18-inch wheels in a retro design (styling to match the hubcaps of the original T2). However, as an option, a two-color paintwork version is available for any other configuration. There are four factory combinations: white/cherry red, snow white/beige, white/blue-green and silver/blue.

Test drive T6 Long

The version with an extended wheelbase offers 40 additional centimeters of longitudinal space in the cabin, which translates into volume as almost 1 cubic meter. m. The optional Long body is available starting with the Comfortline package, and assumes a standard interior configuration: in the first row of seats there are two seats, in the second there are also two, and behind there is a bench seat for three. But versions with an eight-seater cabin are available on an individual basis, where there is no space for a folding table, and the intervals between the rows are reduced in favor of an additional seat opposite the side door. As an alternative, a salon with an abolished sofa is offered - the salon of a single-volume car is entirely confined to separate seats. In both cases there is almost no space left for luggage.

According to the company, the line of power units has become more economical by an average of 10-15%, which in the case of diesel engines resulted in minus 1 liter per 100 km. The engines are combined with a 6-speed manual transmission or 7-band DSG. Low-power TDI with 102 hp. Comes with a manual transmission in five gears. Most of the engines can be combined with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, which is based on a fifth-generation Haldex clutch with a mechanical differential lock on the rear axle (for towing a trailer in difficult conditions).

The latest generation of Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 has undergone a global change. Finally, the minivan began to look in full accordance with the corporate style. The exterior of the car now looks attractive. The bumpers are completely painted in body color, which gives the car a complete, holistic look.

All companies

The dimensions of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan are impressive. Its length can now vary from 4892 to 5292 mm, the width remains the same for all modifications - 1904 mm, but the height can also vary from 1970 to 1990 mm. The wheelbase is impressive. There are options to choose from with sizes ranging from 3000 to 3400 mm. The situation is similar with ground clearance. The standard version will have a size of 186 mm, but the extended version already offers a ground clearance of 201 mm.

The front part of the new Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 has become noticeably shorter. The area of ​​the windshield has increased, the hood has become neater. The head optics are presented in the form of rectangular headlights, which are installed on the sides of the new radiator grille. It is made in the best traditions of the company. On it you can now see two transverse chrome strips with the company logo in the middle.

The side view is strict, without any frills or bells and whistles. The minivan received a completely flat roof, a horizontal window sill line, and pronounced wheel arches. The area of ​​the side windows has noticeably increased, which has significantly improved visibility.

From behind, the new 2019 Volkswagen Multivan T6 model looks no less impressive. The same strict, even geometric shapes are present here. The back door is large. A narrow strip of brake lights was placed on it. The rear window has impressive dimensions, which also contributes to excellent visibility. Below we can see neat vertical lights and the same bumper with elegant and complex stampings. You can see all the changes in more detail in the photo.

Spacious and comfortable interior

The inside is free, spacious and beautiful. The dashboard is simple. The instrument panel is located under the wide visor. The on-board computer screen is also located there. The bright red lighting of the instruments looks very impressive. Most of it is occupied by the center console. It has noticeably become wider.

In the foreground is a 7-inch color screen of the latest multimedia system. On either side of it there are two vertical deflectors. Below you can see a large number of buttons and switch keys. I really liked that the gear shift lever moved up. Now it is located near the steering wheel, which is very convenient.

The front seats are comfortable, but have virtually no lateral support. The cabin is designed for seven passengers, although I am sure that all 8 can easily fit here. There is more than enough free space. I consider the possibilities of its transformation to be a big plus. Both rear seats and the sofa can be moved along guides installed in the floor. If desired, the rear row of seats can be easily converted into a full double bed.

Plus, the presence of a large number of drawers, compartments, nets, boxes for storing things. Together with 7 passengers, another 1210 liters of luggage can freely fit in the cabin. Equipment:

• start assistance system;
• exchange rate stability system, ABS;
• air conditioner;
• full electrical package;
• front, side airbags;
• parking sensors;
• on-board computer;
• heated front seats.

The sports one has also been updated.

Technical characteristics of the German

The power line of the car has completely changed. Technical characteristics of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan support gasoline, diesel engines and one biturbodiesel.

Each engine is paired with a 5 or 6-speed manual transmission. Also offered

7-speed DSG with a pair of clutches, front-wheel drive or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

The price of the new Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 varies from RUB 1,600,500. up to 2,200,800 rub. It is known that a huge number of modifications and configurations of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan will be offered in Russia. The cost of the most charged and rich configuration will be approximately 3,300,000 rubles.

Competitors from the multivan class

Of the large number of competitors of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan, I can highlight Fiat Ducato And Hyundai H1. The first rival has a more interesting appearance than Volkswagen, the same spacious interior, as well as rich equipment. The minivan is characterized by efficiency, good maneuverability, acceleration dynamics, and a high level of comfort. The car has good visibility and decent suspension.

The disadvantages are the low ground clearance, which is lower even than that of the GAZelle, and mediocre build quality. In winter, the interior takes a long time to warm up, and the engine begins to act up. The driver's seat has few adjustments. Not in favor Ducato sound insulation.

Hyundai H1 looks stylish and graceful. The cabin has enough space not only for passengers, but also for luggage. The cabin is perfectly suited for transporting large cargo. It is easy to load a refrigerator and TV into the car. The ground clearance is impressive, which is 190 mm. It’s not scary to drive such a minivan even on country roads. Excellent handling deserves praise. Despite its considerable dimensions, the machine easily makes complex turns and maneuvers.

Hyundai still has its shortcomings. I included weak power steering and a rather stiff suspension. The frustrating fact is that the second and third row seats cannot be folded, they can only be adjusted. “Crickets” appear periodically in the cabin. Good visibility is hampered by wide pillars.

Good and bad qualities

Most reviews from owners of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan state that the car has virtually no flaws. Advantages:

• large spacious salon;
• excellent ergonomics;
• beautiful modern appearance;
• flawless operation of the gearbox;
• large selection of modifications, power units;
• convertible interior;
• excellent acceleration dynamics, maneuverability;

Flaws:

• rigid suspension;
• weak lateral support in the front seats;
• expensive maintenance;
• weak paintwork.

The start of sales of the Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 in Russia is scheduled for the second half of autumn.
