At €22,950 in Germany, the Transporter panel van sounds like a great deal if you can get over the 90-horsepower output of the engine. The 2020 Volkswagen Multivan Family levels up to €31,000 and 110 ponies, which is a bit more adequate but fairly expensive nonetheless.
On the subject of powertrains, only the 2.0 TDI is available with front-wheel drive, 4Motion all-wheel drive, two manual transmissions, and a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic. At the top of the range, you’re treated to 199 PS from the four-cylinder turbo diesel powerplant.
The Multivan 6.1 as Volkswagen likes to call the mid-cycle refresh can be outfitted with goodies such as chassis control, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and an electronic differential lock. On the safety front, the passenger van boasts Cross Wind Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, Park Assist, Trailer Assist, and Lane Assist among many more.
To improve fuel economy and enable some technological upgrades from the pre-facelift model, the steering system switches to an electro-mechanical setup as standard. An additional shelf in front of the driver, a larger storage bin, and another shelf in front of the passenger are also featured, along with with cup holders near the A-pillars and a smartphone tray that’s optionally available with wireless charging for Qi devices.
Probably the most drastic change over the Multivan 6.0 is the digital instrument cluster and Modular Infotainment Matrix 3 infotainment system with touchscreen technology. Both the MIB2 and MIB3 are always connected thanks to a SIM slot, allowing the car to use the cloud and any other service you might be interested in. Spotify and Waze would be two of them.
Six new exterior colors, seven two-tone finishes, and six new wheel designs are also featured, joining redesigned headlights with LED technology, a larger radiator grille, and a few more stylistic revisions. All in all, the Multivan has never been better or smarter than the 2020 model year.
