Although comfortable, not all will like the van-like drive and ride experience
No AM radio seems like a faux pas
While everybody is seemingly busy banging on about SUVs, Volkswagen has updated its out-and-out people mover for 2021.
It’s called the T6.1 Multivan, and has landed with the broader Transporter range to renew Volkswagen’s offering in the anti-SUV segment.
Few models carry as big a stick as this Multivan in terms of heritage and icon-ness. It s central to the lore of Volkswagen, and original Type 2 Kombis – especially rare variants – sell for stratospheric amounts these days.

Volkswagen has updated its
Multivan people-mover for 2021 with new engines, spec levels, safety and technology.
While there is plenty of new stuff to talk about, this is definitely more nip-and-tuck than all-new model. Based on the
Transporter commercial vehicle platform, the T6 (which debuted in 2016) carried over the same platform that traces back to the T5 in 2003.
