Volkswagen Multivan

Brought our T6 last year (2018) and haven’t regretted it for one day! Previously had a VW Amarok dual cab.

We found a dealer demonstrator that was about 10k cheaper than a brand new one and had only done 1500km included the table and tinted windows.
Two main reasons for buying, 1) i’m 2m tall. Which means in conventional cars and people movers there is very little leg room for the passenger sitting behind the driver. In the multi van this is never an issue as all the rear seats are movable and the second row also swivels to rearward face.
2) w...Read more

MY18 Volkswagen Multivan Comfortline TDi340 7sp
Purchased new and had a genuine VW towbar fitted only recently have had to use my trailer but found out that access to rear tailgate was not possible as the handle on the coupling would stop the tail gate from opening so to gain access to rear storage area. You then have to disconnect trailer, open back tailgate then when you have finished loading or unloading (luggage area) or even access to car jack then you would have to re-connect trailer again. This is such an inconvenience let alone more imp...Read more

This 7 seat people mover is 2016 built and bought new in mid 2017. The Hi-line model is pricey but for what I want, I have little choice among other vans available on market. The Multivan base model with 103kw has low power hence I went for the 150kw Hi-line. I did consider the Hyundai iMax but found many silly and annoyed design with it, for example the fuel flap is located behind the sliding door and if you are refueling, a rear seat passenger could accidentally open the door and the flap would be damaged. I did drive the petrol iMax in New ...Read more

I drive this van daily as a courtesy van and it does the job with it premium space and controls. The air conditioning is good and you can control the rear temperature and can speed via the front. Now some points that need attention- the fan control switch led dont light up in sequence as there is a common issue there, the auto wipers are a bit slow to react to rain activation or keep going flat out with no rain but you can just turn them off but that's what auto is for! The drive mode is sluggish around town but perfect for the highway, sports ...Read more

We used to drive a Kluger and were seriously considering a van. I'm a father to 3 kids and 2 dogs...with the occasional visit from the in-laws...and the Multivan is simply fantastic. The good stuff: 1) electric doors - can't live without them, be it carrying groceries or the like, one press on the remote and the doors slide open. Specially helpful when it rains or just dropping off. 2) Leg room - after driving an SUV, there's no way I see myself going back after driving the Multivan. From the sliding doors, you can skip over to the front seats ...Read more

The vehicle fits the family beautifully but we have had no end of troubles. We have had it serviced regularly, to no avail. This car is only 8 years old and every door handle has failed including the boot. Each time it costs at least $800 to repair (minimum). We can't close one of the windows properly - it pops open with the rush of air (that's $1,400 plus labour to fix). The engine leaks like a sieve. Last week we had to get a reconditioned air conditioner (you can't buy a new one) at a cost of $2,000 (incl installation). And the very n...Read more

A pleasure to drive. Elevated driving position gives good vision of the road and traffic ahead. Brilliant finish inside and out. 17000 mostly country km up so far and hasnt missed a beat. Wasnt sure about the gear box originally swore i would only use it in manual. Wrong! I can't change gears as smoothly as the auto function. Cheap to run with a very consistent 7.1 L/100 km. Good for a big heavy box like this. Love the versitile seating option to move/ remove seats on the rail system. We removed the rear bench and use a 2+2 bucket seat configu...Read more

Bought this van as a fleet purchase got a good discount, But poor service, first of all van missed the boat in germany leaving me without a vehicle for 7 weeks as i had sold the old one, i got told of this fact on the day i was supposed to pick it up. it is now four months old and the climate control controls in the rear above the middle row of seats is sagging, guess what? Not under warranty, i have had 3 colleagues with the same van all of similiar ages with similiar faults little niggly faults that shouldnt happen, in a vehicle of this age a...Read more

Volkswagen T6 Generation Six Multivan TDI450

Just beautiful inside with leather and comfortable chairs that are outstanding (despite being manual not electric) for long touring . . . family did a 3000km journey in 10 days and it was a superb freeway cruiser.

The dash layout is simple and easy to use with only one issue, the engine start/stop button which is way over on the left and hasn't been moved closer to the driver in from the left hand conversion. You get used to it but being German surprised they didn't consider this.

A manual h...Read more

I bought a lemon. First the engine would lose power as I tried to accelerate. Many a times trying to merge into traffic after having come to a complete stop, I would put my foot down and nothing happened, then all of a sudden, whiplash!. The sliding door would fall off and as it weighs a huge amount of kgs, it was very hard to put back- especially if it happened on an incline.
I took the car back and the door was fixed, the transmission looked at and improved (after a few visits to VW for both issues ) At this time it was still under warranty...Read more

VW Multivan TDI400 4-motion 2.0L bi-turbo diesel. Comfortline.
Power: 132 kW, Torque: 400 Nm. 7 speed DSG.
Options added: RDS-510 Sat-nav, multimedia, reverse camera (only chose this because you cant get a reverse camera by itself). Unfortunately this added $3500 to price. Side-assist (very helpful with a van this size, I would recommend ticking this option). Folding table (IMO, leave this out, I removed it shortly after we took delivery, as it impedes access to rear, we never use it, and it is now collecting dust in the garage).
Purchased a...Read more

Having been persuaded by my German husband to buy a VW Multivan I did so with some trepidation. We bought the van new in Feb 2011. From the off there where faults, air con failed/packed up three times, the passenger sliding door would not open, the locking system failed and the engine management system was faulty and taken back in 17 times.
VW Australia and VWE Germany scratched their heads trying to fix the issue.
Problem being as follows the van would cruise along and then loose power you would put your foot on the gas and nothing then WHOO...Read more

We bought this car new, the 2014 VW Multivan Highline and we have used it for a bit more then a year. We "upgraded (Debatable)" to the 2014 WV Multivan Highline over a Toyota Kluger. The Toyota Kluger is A LOT more powerful than the VW Multivan (With the TDI400 upgraded engine)! It is sluggish when picking up, but other than that it is alright, that's why I only gave it 4 stars. Inside, the air con is great, the seat warmers in the front are FANTASTIC! The are 150% better than the Kluger. The amount of leg room in all parts of the cabin are ama...Read more

Wish I could afford to burn my 2007 Multivan sports & post it on You Tube! The air-con only works when it's cold. VW have lost my CD/GPS unit somewhere between here & Germany; cracked the exhaust manifold - my mechanic reckons the diesel we burn here isn't as highly specced as the European diesel & due to the emission control laws they run them lean & hence the exhaust gets hot. The front tyres scrub every 20,000km's no matter how often I rotate & get the alignment checked. The automatic doors aren't automatic & the electrics have shorted out s...Read more
