How tall is the Volkswagen Multivan?

[SpencerAnn]

2019 Multivan body dimensions are the same as the old model, with a length of 4904mm, a width of 1904mm, a height of 1970mm, and a wheelbase of 3000mm. Exterior Introduction: The most distinctive feature is its boxy shape. The front design unsurprisingly adopts the somewhat aesthetically fatigued family grille, yet the narrow headlights and grille surprisingly look quite stylish on this large vehicle. Perhaps this is typical of Volkswagen cars - somewhat disappointing at first glance but growing more appealing over time. Interior Introduction: The wood grain trim adds a touch of vitality or a relaxed atmosphere to the entire dashboard. Without it, the interior might feel too dull and rigid. The steering wheel and gear lever designs are universally familiar, including the instrument panel and central control area, offering no surprises whatsoever.

When it comes to the height of the Multivan, it really depends on the specific model year. For example, the older T5 model was around 1.97 meters, while the current T6 and T6.1 versions on the road have an official height of 1.973 meters—taller than most common SUVs when parked. If you opt for the roof rack, that adds another 5 centimeters or so. This height generally allows easy access to commercial parking garages, but you need to be cautious with older residential garages that have a 1.8-meter height limit. I once saw a guy get stuck under a height-restriction bar in this van, unable to move forward or backward—he had to deflate the tires to get out. When passing through toll stations, always use the truck lane instead of squeezing in with smaller cars, as the rearview mirrors can easily scrape against height restriction signs.

After test driving my friend's Multivan, I noticed the standard version is almost 2 meters tall when standing upright. The vehicle's curb weight exceeds 2 tons, and when fully loaded, the front end slightly sinks while the roof height remains largely unchanged. The electric sliding doors have a wide opening range, making it particularly convenient for kindergarten pickups as children can board directly while standing. If you frequently drive on mountain roads, I recommend installing an anti-roll bar, as the noticeable body roll is quite apparent when cornering with such a tall vehicle. During a road trip last year, I encountered crosswinds that made the body sway like a boat, and I had to reduce speed to 80 km/h to stabilize it.

The official website lists the height of the Multivan as 1973mm, which is over 20cm taller than a standard MPV. This design primarily maximizes cabin space—I can fully stretch my legs when lying on the rear seats. The downside? During car washes, the roof often gets overlooked, leading to patchy water stains. Last week, I had to climb onto the roof to clean the sunroof, standing on tiptoes even with a stool. My suggestion to car wash shops: add a lifting platform.

The most impressive feature of this car is the flatness of the roof, making it particularly suitable for installing a roof-top cargo box. After installing a 520L box, the total height was about 2.4 meters. While highway wind noise increased, there was little change in fuel consumption. A reminder for fellow car enthusiasts planning to install one: exceeding 2.2 meters requires extra caution with tunnel height restrictions, especially in older tunnels like those in Guizhou. Once, while carrying a surfboard through a scenic area, I saw a warning sign on a height barrier that read '37 vehicles already hit,' which sent shivers down my spine.

The Multivan is often asked if it can fit into mechanical parking spaces, but tests show it can't enter most multi-level car parks. Last time I accompanied a friend to a top-tier hospital, the multi-level car park had a height limit of 1.6 meters, forcing us to park in an open lot three streets away. It's advisable for owners to carry a tape measure to check height restrictions, as the light sensors at mall underground entrances are often inaccurate. The rear suspension automatically levels with load; when fully loaded with 7 passengers, the wheel-to-ground clearance reduces to about 15cm, making it noticeably more stable over speed bumps than when empty.
