What is the Volkswagen Multivan?
The Multivan is a passenger-focused vehicle in Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ van family. Its roomy cabin and flexible seating make it suited to family journeys and carrying several passengers. The latest generation, the T7, is a leisure MPV; Volkswagen introduced it alongside the T6.1 commercial vehicles.
Multivan generations
The named generations are T4 (1990–2003), T5 (2003–2015), T6 (2015–2021) and T7 (2021–today). The T7 brought a new Multivan to the range while the T6.1 continued in commercial vehicle roles. EU registration figures span 2010–2025; UK figures cover 2000–2004, and French figures cover 2012–2014.
Engines and power
EU versions ranged from 1.4 to 2.0 litres and produced 62 kW (84 PS) to 150 kW (204 PS). Listed fuel types include diesel, petrol, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and other. French versions were diesel, with power from 75 kW (102 PS) to 132 kW (179 PS). UK versions had 2.5- to 2.8-litre engines and produced 65 kW (88 PS) to 152 kW (207 PS).
Fuel consumption
The lowest listed EU fuel consumption is 5.8 L/100 km on WLTP. The EU plug-in hybrid has a separate weighted figure of 0.9 L/100 km on WLTP, which assumes that some driving is electric. The lowest UK and French figures are 8.1 and 6.8 L/100 km respectively, both on NEDC. WLTP and NEDC are different test procedures, so results from these markets are not directly comparable. EU registration figures total 623,999 over 2010–2025.
