- in a more expressive way front bumper with wide horizontal insert
– on the radiator grille with a larger logo
– according to the shape of all optics
– on the trunk lid
– by LED lights (optional)
- new dashboard design
– on new equipment
– on 18-inch rims(option)

IN UKRAINE:
– configurations: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline
– diesel engines: 2.0 TDI (140 hp) and BiTDI (180 hp)
– drive: front and full 4Motion
– box: 6-st. Manual gearbox and 7 speed robot. DSG

Volkswagen T5 2004
The predecessor lasted on the assembly line for 11 years and sold almost 2 million copies.

At first glance it is not so easy to distinguish new car, unless it is equipped with optional optics assembled entirely on LED elements. The changed shape of the headlights entailed minor alterations in the configuration of the hood and front fenders. But they are like new radiator screen, are not as noticeable as the front bumper.

LED lighting technology in daytime running lights, headlights and taillights makes it possible to quickly identify the Volkswagen T6 on the road. But such optics are an additional option even for Multivan

In the style of passenger cars, it acquired a wide horizontal insert and narrow rectangular foglights. If you delve into the details, you will find that the wipers have changed shape, and the right one can now be fully raised. The trunk lid has also noticeably changed. And all this is true for the entire T6 family - Transporter, Caravelle and Multivan.

The price of image
Large minivans in various designs are mega-popular among businessmen and hobbyists family travel, representatives of law enforcement agencies, big business people and their security services. But it is the Multivan that is the most expensive in the model range. In black color, with tightly tinted windows, the most powerful motor and 4Motion all-wheel drive, it most likely has something to do with law enforcement agencies, large entrepreneurs or keepers of their secrets.

Therefore, when you are driving such a car, even the drivers of the same black “Cubes” treat you as an equal. We have all noted the pleasant loyalty on the part of the Gelendvagen owners even now, despite the fact that the tested Volkswagen Multivan T6 looks family-friendly.

From the rear, the T6 is most easily recognized by the smooth lower edge of the glass, sharper corners of the lights, large wide stamping for the number and an enlarged handle

And our minivan also emanates history, when small and slightly naive buses of the first two generations - T1 and T2 - ran along the roads. It was no coincidence that I remembered them, because at one time they were offered in just such a red and white color. And in memory of them, the Volkswagen T6 received more large emblem, and in Europe, for special connoisseurs, a special package was released - Generation Six, which is distinguished by just such a spectacular two-tone color, LED lighting and rich interior equipment. For us, they simply offered one of the options for combined body paint and rich equipment.

For example, the car we tested costs $99,099! She has fully active LED headlights And tail lights, adaptive suspension Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) with three operating modes - Comfort, Normal or Sport, system monitoring the dead side mirror zones and much other equipment. But this is not the limit, because various new functions have become available for the Volkswagen T6: assistant emergency braking, driver fatigue recognition system, Automatic Post-Collision Braking System.

And the Comfortline equipment is average for the Multivan. In the top version of the Highline, it also gets a more convenient table that moves in the central part of the passenger compartment, and another sliding door (left) with an electric drive.

The front seats can now be electrically adjusted in twelve directions, and the driver's seat also has three memory settings.

The so-called working part of the cabin has changed dramatically. The front seats can now be adjusted electrically and the driver's seat settings can be stored in memory. The Discover Media multimedia system with a 6.33-inch color touch screen and eight speakers sounds very decent and allows you to listen to music from various media, and thanks to the App-Connect system it can become a copy of your smartphone. An additional water heater with a timer allows you to warm up the interior when the engine is off.

Thanks to the flat front panel and microclimate control unit, the dashboard has become more reminiscent of cars Volkswagen models, but has not lost its practicality

But not only with this equipment, but also with a flat front panel, wide glossy trim strips and a climate control unit, the T6 began to more closely resemble Volkswagen passenger models, but it did not lose its practicality. As before, there are so many compartments, pockets and trays of various sizes on the dashboard, in the doors and throughout the cabin that it’s easy to forget what you put where.

As before, there are so many compartments of different sizes that you can forget what you put where

Runs easily, swings...
The tall driving position is also familiar - at the level of drivers Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and not Viano/V-Class, which are Multivan’s opponents. Therefore, you can easily read the road several cars ahead and even over the roofs of some SUVs. LED lighting is a great way to navigate in the dark. Moreover, the assistant high beam Light Assist works very precisely, switching the headlights exactly at the moment when I would do it myself. And only the yellow spots from the foglights illuminating the turn against the background of blue and white main lighting look undignified. Although such lighting fulfills its function.

Thanks to the huge windows, smooth sheer sides and optional rear view camera, this machine is very easy to maneuver even in tight spaces. But the right mirror does not provide the expected view. Therefore, when changing lanes into the right lane a good helper There will be an optional SideAssist assistant, which warns of passing traffic in the blind spot of the mirrors.

A new family of 2-liter engines has been developed for the Volkswagen T6. diesel engines power from 84 to 204 hp True, they are all equipped with the BlueMotion package and meet the Euro 6 environmental standard, and therefore are not about us. In Ukraine, the same engines are used, the top among them is this biturbo 180-horsepower unit

So it’s very easy to drive fast in a Volkswagen Multivan, especially if under the hood there is a more powerful one offered in Ukraine power units- twin-turbo two-wheeler with a power of 180 hp. paired with a 7-speed robot. This tandem is familiar to us from the Multivan T5 tests. The DSG selector is traditionally located on a high podium, and therefore a short hand movement is enough to put the transmission into sport mode work or switch independently in the sequential algorithm. The main thing is not to fuss, because when you sharply press the accelerator to the floor from a standstill or after braking to almost zero, the gearbox stumbles and the Multivan freezes for some time - an unpleasant moment typical of almost all cars with similar transmissions.

Here is confirmation that the engine of Ukrainian cars meets Euro 5 environmental standards: a plug is installed in place of the filler neck for urea

The car behaves much more predictably when the gas pedal is used smoothly. In this case, the first phase of acceleration from a standstill is especially easy for the Multik, because the maximum torque is available very early - from 1500 rpm, and ends quickly - after 2000 rpm. And given the large dimensions and heavy weight of the car, acceleration to 100 km/h in 12.1 seconds does not look that long. The gearbox quickly shoots off step after step while the Multivan confidently picks up speed. Moreover wet asphalt he is not embarrassed at all thanks to the system all-wheel drive 4Motion. And this tall car takes turns with such confidence as not every passenger car.

All-wheel drive 180-horsepower cars in Ukraine are offered with a robotic 7-speed transmission with two DSG clutches

Even during previous tests of this model, we noted that, in principle, the Multivan rides very comfortably, but its wheels encounter pits and cracks harshly, forcing the body to shudder every time. What will happen now that 18-inch wheels have become available for “Multik”? Wheels with wide tires 255/45 R18 too zealously transfers all the road irregularities to the steering wheel - they force the car into a depressed rut and jerk the steering wheel on hard bumps.

In broken areas, the front suspension lacks composure - you constantly feel knocks and vibrations, as if the chassis is broken, and you also hear the rattling of the body and the creaking of plastic panels (especially in the morning after a frosty night). At some point, apparently, the sensor in the driver’s seat belt buckle was shaken, and for three days we drove around to the accompaniment of a signal about an unfastened seat belt. True, this pain began and went away. Maybe one more new option - adaptive suspension Will adjustable stiffness fix the situation?

On the front panel there is a new control button for the adaptive suspension Dynamic Cruise Control (DCC) with three operating modes: Comfort, Normal and Sport

IN comfortable mode Volkswagen suspension The Multivan became only slightly less responsive to road imperfections and no longer followed the profile of a rough road exactly. But a vertical swing of the body appeared. After switching to sport mode, its amplitude is noticeably reduced, as if the car is being pulled back by an invisible hand. But the changes in ride comfort on our roads are so small that very soon I stopped paying attention to the mode in which I kept the suspension.

...sleeping car
However, the driver sits almost on the front axle and therefore perceives irregularities more keenly, but the passengers sitting within the long wheelbase liked everything. Still would! After all, through a wide opening with a sliding side door equipped with an electric drive, you literally enter a spacious hall of regular shape. There is also its own climate control system with individual control, a table can be taken out from the side, and the “furniture” can be arranged at your discretion.

IN mid-spec The Comfortline table extends out from the side of the cabin, and therefore it is inconvenient for those passengers sitting on the seats on the opposite side

The seats can be easily moved longitudinally on the slide. Separate seats in the middle row allow you to change the backrest angle, and they can very easily be rotated 180 degrees. The rear sofa actually transforms into a double bed. For luggage, however, there is less space in the trunk than you would expect, but the lids under the rear sofa are removable and provide openings through which long sports equipment or other things can be loaded.

Do you know why there are so many Cartoons on the roads with additional boxes for things on the roof? Yes, because with the row moved back, the trunk is not that big. Besides, what if you decide to turn the sofa into a double bed?

However, everything that is located behind the backs of the front seats is familiar from the fifth generation car. Therefore, if passengers still miss the presence of novelty, then on the road you can play an interesting game: who can count more drivers and passers-by who are looking at new Volkswagen Multivan T6 with spiky LED headlights and an expressive red and white color.

Summary

Body and comfort
Appearance has become more expressive and interesting. New color options make the large minivan more family-friendly and friendly. Many options for transforming the interior. The body has not lost its practicality. For things, there are a lot of compartments and pockets of different sizes on the dashboard, in the doors and sides of the body, as well as remote trays under the seats.	Heavy wheels with 18-inch rims and wide 255/45 tires handle all the bumps so harshly that on our roads the steering wheel constantly jerks in your hands, the body rumbles, and plastic panels creak.
Powertrain and dynamics
The most powerful 180-horsepower turbodiesel provides the car with acceptable acceleration and demonstrates good efficiency. With moderately active driving, we were well within the promised 11.1 liters per 100 km in the city. Depending on the driving style, this figure ranged from 10 to 12 liters, and during short trips to the suburbs it dropped below ten.	When you sharply press the accelerator to the floor from a standstill or after braking to almost zero, the gearbox stumbles and the Multivan freezes for a while. When driving fast, fuel consumption easily exceeds the declared one, by 2-3 liters.
Finance and equipment
New equipment has appeared: electric drives for the front seats, optics entirely assembled on LED elements, with active headlights and automatic control high beam, adaptive suspension, emergency braking assistant, driver fatigue detection system, Automatic Post-Collision Braking System.	The cost of the tested Volkswagen Multivan T6 in the average configuration and without many new options is almost $100,000. Or do you think that this is not a minus?

The cabin has enough room for seven people, with three rows of seats, even the third row offers good space for an adult passenger.

So which one is better?

You can also get fed up with success. And in the case of the iconic VW Bus, that's probably exactly what happened. For many decades, the T-Series sold well and won victory after victory in all tests. So why were there any problems with the just completed transition from T5 to T6? Here's the thing. In Wolfsburg, the model underwent a slight facelift, leaving technical part without changes. But, although this was enough until now, now it turned out to be not enough. Not because T6 is bad in any way. But because Mercedes put on wheels a truly strong competitor in the form of an essentially new V-class car. And cars Mercedes brand people are not yet fed up, but quite the opposite.

The largest representative of the V-Class is compared with the smallest T6.

Short T6 (4.90 m) versus long V-Class (5.14 m) - it seems that this is unfair, but during the test they were the ones we got. Now VW already supplies a long version of the Multivan (5.30 m), just as Mercedes already has a V-Class Extra Long variant (5.37 m). The Mercedes has a little more shoulder room in front, although the VW has plenty of it. The doors of the Multivan are somewhat thicker, which allows you to casually place your hand on the “window sill” in a certain manner. In terms of space in the rear, both cars are equal. The T6 has more legroom because the rear seat can be moved all the way back, but this is balanced by the V-Class's greater width and height. When traveling on holiday or moving, Mercedes has the advantage. Its trunk can fit a couple of suitcases more than a VW, and its separately opening rear window facilitates the process of loading small items. In addition, the native of Stuttgart spoils the owner with a refined interior, best quality finishing and more modern technologies.

It is quite possible to sleep in the back of the VW Bus.

Although VW is not far behind in terms of Internet access, Apple CarPlay support, Android Auto and MirrorLink, but the V-Class offers more sophisticated hard-drive navigation (the VW has an SD card) and some extra features. A tangible advantage of the Multivan is its seats. They move easily along the rails and are turned using a special handle (in the V-class, this will require dismantling them, unfolding them and installing them again). As standard, there is a three-seater sofa in the rear on which you can sleep. Mercedes has 2 options - two individual seats or a three-seater sofa.

Regarding suspension comfort, the staff Mercedes is better We worked on the settings - in the end the V-class turned out to be much more comfortable. Thanks to the long stroke independent suspension The Benz perfectly compensates for uneven road surfaces, while its body sways only slightly, rarely annoying passengers with detailed reports on the condition of the road.

The driving performance of the cars is approximately at the same high level.

T6 differences. Although it handles bumps quite well thanks to the adaptive dampers compared to the T5, you can still feel the bumps and edges. In particular, fluctuations front axle They are not damped very well and the car shakes violently on wavy roads, which is why all the imperfections in the road profile are transferred to the steering wheel. Apparently, the Multivan is designed for a high payload capacity of 670 kg. Even when fully loaded, the T6 suspension does not break through. Because of this, the suspension stiffness is quite high. And this is despite the fact that the car is equipped with shock absorbers that are adjustable for rigidity. For rear seat passengers, this problem can be solved by installing additional air suspension with replacement of standard rigid springs. The asking price is about 4 thousand euros. But the soft springs of the V-class with a permitted 600 kilograms on board can periodically hit the limiters (although to break through the shock absorbers you have to try really hard and find a really big hole).

Both minibuses are powered by four-cylinder turbodiesels, which, thanks to additional injection, received the Euro-6 stamp. According to documents, Mercedes has 190 hp. s., which in the short term should grow to 204 liters. With. – which exactly matches the power of the T6. Since they differ in weight by only 40 kilograms, the short distance race ends in a draw, and maximum speed both have a little more than 200 km/h. More than enough for such heavy vehicles. While the VW is better isolated and less grumpy, its leisurely seven-speed DSG box When changing gears and starting off, it spoils the impression a little. Benz's seven-speed hydrodynamic automatic handles this better. Both have a consumption of just over 8 l/100 km, which is quite economical.

The cost of the T6 Multivan 2.0 TDI in the database is from RUB 2,345,000. Mercedes V-Class starts from RUB 2,757,500. We must admit that in this case we are talking only about the initial configurations. IN equipped with all the amenities and important additions, Benz outperforms VW by almost several hundred thousand rubles.

Regarding the warranty, however, both companies were a little stingy, offering two years - given the price, I would like a little more.

Conclusion

In the end, all that remains is to hint at Mercedes' slight advantage. Because it is somewhat more comfortable in motion and more modern. The T6 can be praised for its inherited reliability and interior transformation capabilities.

When choosing between these two minibuses, be sure to take the time to personally drive both before purchasing. driver's seat and on the rear passenger seat.

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 top-end 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 is immediately drawn to 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 the latest system navigation, limited on 2 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 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 have they become? specifications fresh 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 did not let us down, which includes a lot latest features. The car has good visibility and comfortable suspension.

A disappointment for many Fiat owners was small gap roads, 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, dynamism.

Among the shortcomings of the Hyundai, I can highlight the 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;
