The verdict

What's good

  • Drives and steers more like an SUV than any van competitor
  • Individual seats slide and swivel making it genuinely lounge-like
  • Digital Cockpit Pro and head-up display feel premium not functional
  • Diesel range between fill-ups beats most petrol family vans

What's not

  • Not offered in the North American market
  • Large turning circle frustrates multi-point turns in cities
  • VW DSG gearbox reliability mixed in stop-start commercial use
  • Sliding rear doors need firm pull to latch on inclines

The engine

TDI

2.0L Turbo-Diesel I4

A common-rail turbodiesel four delivering a broad, lazy slug of torque from low revs, ideal for hauling a big van or van-based MPV with relaxed effort. It is built for long-haul efficiency rather than excitement.

Part of Volkswagen Group's EA288 evo diesel family, derived from the Modular Diesel Toolkit (MDB) that underpins VW and Audi 2.0 TDIs. It joined the T7 Multivan range in 2022, continuing the long Transporter diesel lineage.
