Cargo: Panel van and Kombi

The Volkswagen Transporter T6 offers versatile cargo solutions with its Panel van and Kombi models, catering to a wide range of load capacities and trim levels to meet diverse needs.

Available in three trim levels, including Startline (base), Trendline (mid), and Highline (luxurious), the T6 provides options to suit various preferences and budgets. The Kombi model, also known as the Crewvan in some markets, enhances versatility by adding a second row of three seats and windows for the second row, making it ideal for transporting both passengers and cargo with ease and comfort. With its robust load capacities and customizable trim levels, the T6 Panel van and Kombi models offer practical solutions for commercial and personal transportation needs.

Passenger: Caravelle, Multivan, and Shuttle

The Volkswagen Transporter T6 offers a range of passenger-oriented models designed to cater to various needs and preferences, including the Caravelle, Multivan, and Shuttle variants. The Caravelle T6 epitomizes luxury and comfort with its seven seat configuration spread across three rows, boasting windows all around and premium leather seating surfaces. Available with either short or long wheelbase options and a standard height roof, the Caravelle offers a refined travel experience for passengers. The second row features two individual, swiveling seats, while the third row comfortably accommodates three forward facing passengers. Upon its introduction, the Caravelle was offered in a distinctive two tone red and white finish, adding a touch of elegance to its exterior design.

In Australia, the Caravelle T6 is marketed as the Multivan, available in both short and long wheelbase configurations, providing seating for seven passengers. However, unlike its global counterpart, the Australian Multivan is exclusively offered in the long wheelbase variant, featuring nine seats arranged in four rows to accommodate additional passengers comfortably.

Similarly, the Shuttle T6 caters to passenger transport needs with windows at all three rows, ideal for commercial for hire services. Configured to withstand the demands of frequent use, the Shuttle is equipped with up to nine seats and durable, hard wearing surfaces. While the standard seating arrangement accommodates eight passengers across three rows, the vehicle can be customized to feature just two seats in the front, known as the “Transporter window van,” providing flexibility for various transportation requirements. Whether for luxury travel, group outings, or commercial passenger services, the Caravelle, Multivan, and Shuttle variants of the Transporter T6 offer versatile solutions tailored to meet the needs of passengers and businesses alike.

Chassis cab

The Volkswagen Transporter T6 chassis cab model presents versatile options tailored to suit diverse commercial needs, offering flexibility in seating configurations and loading capacity. Available exclusively in the long-wheelbase form, the chassis cab model provides the choice between a single cab, featuring one row of seats, or a double cab with two rows. Despite the difference in seating arrangement, both models maintain the same overall length, ensuring consistency in maneuverability and handling. However, the double cab variant adjusts the loading platform accordingly, shortening it to accommodate the additional seating area. This design optimization allows businesses to tailor the chassis cab to their specific requirements, whether prioritizing passenger capacity or cargo space, making the Transporter T6 chassis cab an adaptable solution for various commercial applications.

Campervans

The Volkswagen Transporter T6 continues the tradition of being a favored choice for campervan enthusiasts, thanks to its versatile platform and ample space for conversion. T6 campervan conversions often incorporate a pop-top roof to enhance headroom, providing a more spacious interior for occupants. These conversions typically feature a bed platform for sleeping, as well as amenities such as a hob, sink, and grill installation for cooking convenience on the go. Additional storage solutions are also integrated to optimize space utilization and accommodate camping essentials. For those seeking a turnkey solution, Volkswagen offers the factory-made California campervan, which combines the renowned quality and craftsmanship of Volkswagen with the convenience of a fully equipped camper, providing a seamless and hassle-free camping experience. Whether DIY conversions or factory-made options, the Transporter T6 serves as the perfect canvas for creating memorable outdoor adventures and exploring the great outdoors with comfort and convenience.
