What are the differences between the Multivan T5 and T6?
2 Answers
T5 series includes four models: the multifunctional business vehicle Multivan, the multifunctional commercial travel vehicle Caravelle, the high-end camping vehicle California, and the Transporter light commercial vehicle. Among these, the most well-known is the Multivan, which was also the first T5 series model introduced by Volkswagen in China. The T6 motorhome is equipped with the latest generation 2.0TSI engine, offering high traction power and excellent fuel efficiency, along with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission for smooth gear shifting. The 4MOTION four-wheel drive system meets all-round needs. To accommodate different road surface hardness requirements, the imported T6 is fitted with the DCC dynamic chassis control system, which can adjust the chassis hardness to suit different road conditions.
Those who have driven the Multivan T5 will notice significant changes when switching to the T6. The front headlights of the T6 are sharper, LED daytime running lights come as standard, and the wheel design is more modern. The rear lights have been updated to a full-width design, making it highly recognizable at night. The most notable interior change is the dashboard—the outdated rotary knob climate control panel in the T5 has been replaced with a touchscreen, and the steering wheel now features additional multifunction buttons. On the road, the T6 demonstrates improved sound insulation, with noticeably reduced tire noise compared to the T5, and the transmission is smoother. However, the overall dimensions remain largely unchanged, so existing owners won’t need to readjust to the space.
