2015 Volkswagen Transporter T6 Teased With Official Sketch

There’s a new type of teasing going around for some time now and it involves a lot of sketches released by carmakers, way before they decide to ‘leak’ short obscure videos and half-revealing teaser photos.

Volkswagen Group is playing that sketch-teasing game through its Commercial Vehicles department with the 2015 Transporter T6, scheduled to make a world debut on April 15. The industrious T6 model has travelled a long way to reach its sixth generation, after the first iteration saw daylight in 1950.

Now, we’re not going to settle with just a sketch, especially when our spy photographers caught the new T6 generation model undergoing testing under camouflage. Sure, at that time the commercial vehicle was less important than the all-new Passat B8’s, despite the fact that spyshots revealed the interior of the new Transporter T6.

Yet again, we can’t help but remember the Volkswagen Tristar concept, which hinted at the future T6 model despite being a short-wheelbase version of the current T5 Transporter with a cut roof and a pickup bed.

The Tristar received a 2.0-liter turbodiesel good for 204 HP and 450 Nm (331 lb-ft) along with VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system but it’s too early to say if that setup will be adopted by the new Transporter T6.

Further engine-related info will become available as the debut date is closing in, but we do know that the new T6 will be built in Hanover and the interior will receive an extended trim for a more upmarket feel inside the cabin, as shown in the photos mentioned above.

We’ll know and share more with you after the 2015 VW Transporter makes a debut next month, so stay close for further updates.
