FactThe T7 is built only as a passenger car; the van that replaced the T6.1 Transporter is a Ford Transit Custom sibling with no relation to it.
The Multivan (T7) is the seventh generation of the Volkswagen large van series, built in Hanover since November 2021 and sold in Europe from 2022. Unlike its predecessors it is a large MPV on the front-wheel-drive MQB Evo platform, produced solely as a passenger car, with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid versions. Its second-row seats can rotate up to 180 degrees. An all-wheel-drive eHybrid with a rear motor and a larger battery was announced in November 2024.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The T6.1 was still Volkswagen's best-selling van in 2024 when it was retired, because new EU cyber-security rules would have meant redesigning its electronics.
Fifth Gear tested Clarkson's fastest-van-in-Britain claim by racing a T5 Sportline against the A-Team van; the Volkswagen won comfortably.
This T4 was the first Volkswagen van built with its engine up front instead of over the rear axle.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
