With loads of interior space and a configurable highly versatile seven-seat layout, the Multivan might be the perfect big family car...
The Volkswagen Multivan might just be the new answer to an age-old question: “What is the ultimate family car?” After all, big families with big lives need a highly capable and versatile vehicle that is perfect for both everyday journeys and big escapes.
That means seating for up to seven (whether its kids, extended family or friends) as well as vast amounts of luggage space, while also offering a cosseting ride, top-notch build quality, a wealth of technology and low running costs.
Until now, you’d opt for a large SUV, but the multi-talented Volkswagen Multivan lets you think differently. Its brilliance lies in its huge interior space with an industry-first modular seating system that allows the rear five seats to slide, fold, recline, turn and even be removed altogether – making it the most versatile Volkswagen passenger carrier ever.
The Volkswagen Multivan is so good, in fact, that our discerning What Car? road test team gave it a four-star rating. We wanted to go the extra mile to find out just how capable it is, so we took the Volkswagen Multivan to four family-friendly locations to see just how adaptable it is.
