This £75,000 “Van” Is Cooler Than Your SUV | VW Multivan Review

Is the VW Multivan the most versatile family car on sale today? In this in-depth Volkswagen Multivan review, we test whether this 7-seater MPV is actually better than a three-row SUV. With sliding doors, removable rear seats, five ISOFIX points, up to 3,300 litres of boot space, and petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options, the Multivan might just be the smartest large family car you can buy. We cover: • Interior space and seating flexibility • Boot space with 7 seats vs seats removed • Sliding doors and real-world practicality • ISOFIX child seat mounting (5 points!) • Petrol vs diesel vs plug-in hybrid engines • MPG, performance and driving impressions • Comfort, refinement and infotainment • Pricing (£50,000–£75,000 as tested) • MPV vs SUV – which is better for families? This particular model is the 2.0-litre petrol (204 PS) with DSG gearbox, but we also discuss the 150 PS diesel and the 245 PS plug-in hybrid with optional all-wheel drive. If you're considering a large 7-seater, whether that’s an SUV like a Volvo XC90, Kia EV9 or Hyundai Ioniq 9, or another MPV alternative, this video will help you decide if the Multivan is the better choice. With genuine van-like practicality but car-based refinement, the VW Multivan could be the ultimate lifestyle family vehicle.
