The new Volkswagen T7 Multivan, converted into a high-capacity minivan, will debut on the market at the beginning of the year. For the first time, this model will not have a purely commercial variant. A very limited range at first, but to be expanded with other versions, including all-wheel drive in 2024.
The cessation of production of the Volkswagen Sharan is closer and closer. The German firm plans to load this long-lived model in just over a year, a gap that will cover the new generation of the Volkswagen Multivan. Also known as T7, the model has been completely transformed into a minivan, abandoning the concept of commercial as the T 6.1 is available.
The new Multivan It has become a model of capacity, with a great interior modularity and all the comforts to make long trips when it is released. on the market in spring 2022, even with independent and swivel armchairs in the second and third rows, and that of the front passenger, in the six-seater variant. But there are more new features planned, including a Camper option.
The new Volkswagen Multivan will complete its offer in 2024
The German brand will offer a range of mechanics as varied as any other model in the passenger range, with two options of gasoline and a diesel, all four-cylinder, and that will move in a range of 136 to 204 hp. All front-wheel drive and with seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. The offer will also include a plug-in hybrid, with the same mechanical combination known to the brand, using the 1.4 TSI gasoline engine in the combustion part and an electric motor coupled to it.
Traction and transmission will be standard for now, as the manufacturer intends to delay launch of 4Motion all-wheel drive versions until well into 2023. Our informants point out that the current plans on the model estimate that all-wheel drive will be available in the second half of that year, so it will be one of the great novelties of 2024. A sales strategy that can weigh down the model, by delaying an important quality, but that has an explanation.
The range of the Volkswagen Multivan 2022 has been configured with two wheelbase options, one normal and one long. In principle, the 4Motion all-wheel drive is not programmed for the conventional passenger transport variants, but for the more playful variants, that of the future Volkswagen Multivan California which will be available in both wheelbases and will debut in 2024.
