@Adrian Beiderbecke lollllll i dont think so

[@elvispink4792]

Thanks for bringing it so fast Autogefühl team. Great review Thomas

[@ThatSilentGuy]

Since it's based on passenger car platform, it's more of a successor to Sharan than to Multivan.

[@nielsqbc4]

Should be available in one single colour as well. With or without metal strip in between.

Very nice review Thomas, well done on getting hold of these T7 models so early on. It will be interesting to see the California conversions of this vehicle and whether Californias remain as commercial or retail. For now I will carry on enjoying my lovely Cali Coast T6.1 !

[@rj7855]

Thomas, do the front seats swivel round? Layout reminds me of when we had our much loved Citroen Synergie.

[@merzto]

It’s an option

[@hanskohl3136]

Thomas, well done 👍🏽 Thank you. Like your style of car reviews!! Unfortunately we will never get that vehicle in Canada 🇨🇦🥲

[@MikeNewham]

Amazing, shape reminds me of the old ‘Mazda Bongo / Ford Freda’ from about 20 years ago that I use to import from Japan. Even the electric sliding door, sunroof, internal drop down tables all mounted on a 2.5L diesel Ford Ranger engine. And it cost less than €10k fully imported and had an electric pop-up roof and fridge / cooker in the back 👌🏽

[@peterpoppe4855]

That's the VW quality we need in the ID3/ID4 : nicer seats, better dashboard. Only the sliders for volume and temperature should be replaced by genuine buttons and then VW is back...

[@POTThaesslich]

And puddle lights that have an ID picture instead of a pseudo-Renault logo

[@guillaumeschirra7699]

You are absolutely right. I just tried the ID3 and i was shocked by the poor quality of the interior for a 40k€ car. With options in the configuration i chose i was close to 50k€. For this price i want a nice interior, not something that reminds me of east Germany in the eighties.

[@obidean3964]

This looks so cool and the interior also very well thought out. The dual tone color combo looks surprisingly neat, wonder why VW didn't offer this on other passenger cars, would be nice option for buyers ...

[@SamoScopom]

Not all passenger cars have such a pronounce and straight horizontal line. (Some WV cars offer a black roof, but that doesn't really count.) There is a T-Roc with a red roof on a white car. But I think the California T6 does the two tone a lot better than this new T7.

[@almac9203]

I am "heeya" watching your amazing video. I'll come back heeya for the next one.

[@sbomorse]

It's great that the rear passenger seats are on the same rail as the one in front of it, makes it so much easier to remove the rear seats by sliding them all the way forward.

[@autogefuehl]

Indeed

[@eyeeyeoh]

Wait until the rails are full of debris. Cleaning them is a nightmare.

[@crbb3099]

18 minutes? My goodness Thomas no! I want full HD, full length, and full screen! 😂😂 only kidding, very nice to see this VW too!

[@rollstuhlmeister]

The more I think about it the more sense it makes to split the model into a large practical MPV and a commercial vehicle. In the UK at least most T5/T6 Caravelle/Multivans were used as taxis. And I guess the commercial version will also be available as a nice passenger van too?

[@TrogiDe]

Are there also integrated Childseats available as in the previous Model?

[@LCOF]

As a day van alternative to the T6.1, I think it works. I don't see why VW aren't offering 'Beach' or even California variants considering they did something like that for their smallest van that was essentially a car too. Any family that test drives both the T7 and T6.1 back to back will choose the more comfortable vehicle. Not everyone wants a diesel commercial van as their family car and the slight compromise in interior space is worth it. I can't wait for the ID Buzz.

[@O.O1000]

This looks pretty cool

[@BrunoMuguet]

Cool! I was expecting something more like the ID Buzz but its nice design

[@daddynugent]

Great review Thomas, so apart from this passenger MPV, are VW going to offer two versions on the commercial platform for the California one hybrid/diesel with Ford and one electric only (ID buzz).

[@autogefuehl]

Aye

[@wojtekgrycz]

Great review Thomas, as always! Any chances for a review of the newly facelifted Kodiaq anytime soon? ;)

[@mouraol.r.1160]

again, very Nice vídeo. Thanks

[@3clecticskater]

The biggest thing it’s missing, I think, is the ability to stow the seat inside the vehicle like the Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Pacifica

[@lawrencep7068]

Agreed! But I don't think that will ever be possible in electric cars/vans with the battery location. :( Correct me if I'm wrong!

[@charliexu1099]

Flat floor offers so much flexibility for the seating configuration. I actually love this change. Plus Third row seats are more comfortable now because the seats are higher from floor - same as second row.

[@godtux]

No, thanks ! I want a flat floor and flexibility ! Folded seats are a deal breaker for me.

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Very cute. Love it. 😅 Great review, as usual. Nice job with the video, Thomas, Thomas, and Thomas. 👌

Hi Thomas, great review as always. Is it confirmed the T7 will not come as California/camper edition and continue on the commercial 6.1 platform? I was so hoping for a PHEV California.

[@GlitterGuru]

Love it! Makes me excited for the ID Buzz

[@christophery8927]

This is another quality and fantastic review!

[@shakesnbake]

Is the seat heating powered via the floor rails?

Hi Thomas thank you very much .. really you channel is the better enven if the others has more than millions subs.. good luck

[@kolbasaxorosha]

Looks fantastic! I want it now!

[@zorik4]

It is lost a lot advantages t5-t6 has , ground clearance ,cabin&cargo space, integrated safety belts into seats, sunshades on side windows, etc. T7 is more like Sharan replacement auto, or expensive alternative to PSA traveller-zafira life-space tourer vans.

[@OhhDaarBenJePerry]

The t7 is also meant to be a sharan replacement, replacement for the commercial T6 will be based on a shared model with ford to replace their transit

[@alanmay7929]

The chrysler pacifica is way more practical than this

[@stian4277]

Great review as always Thomas. I am very interested in learing more about the 4motion variant you were talking about in the end. Will it be an aditional electric motor in the rear on the hybrid variant, or will it be on the petrol/diesel version? When can we expect it to be for sale? Thanks!

[@autogefuehl]

Additional Electric motor on the rear axle indeed

9:29 So that's where the tables from the Tiguan went after the facelift.

[@autogefuehl]

😁

[@krzysztofcwik5347]

also wondering if in basic version moving console can be switched for 8th seat to create 2 3 3 configuration or simply id there will be this seat to buy as a option?

[@jh5kl]

8 seat versions will probably be in the bigger multivans made in the bigger new platform, the true T7 so to say

[@redhotmouse]

Great seating options, very reminiscent of my 2007 Renault Espace, also with a full length panoramic roof. Nice though. Just £40,000+ more than I paid for my old Renault. If I had the cash, I'd certainly be interested in an upgrade.

[@brahimmendez]

No comparison

[@fkporsche1]

Another good one Thomas! Like the new VW van. It’s about time. Will this be available in US? Cheers

[@syxepop]

I'd say 90-95% a sound NO WAY! US haven't got the now midsize T-vans since the T-4 or Eurovan (at that time they were imported from Germany and they started > U$40K).

[@sergeboivin566]

Do the sliding door windows open down in the passenger version, or only with the "sliding window" option?

[@PawelP76]

Thank you for your review, as always really well made. I'm extremely disappointed with T7. I want to replace my Renault Grand Espace IV as it hasn't got much luggage space. It has however 7 sliding seats with integrated seatbelts. This T7 has a similar approach but totally messed up by excluding integrated seatbelts. I took my family (5 kids) and tried to settle in T6.1. It was awesome. Kids loved it. When I sit behind the wheel (I'm 189cm tall), then I adjust the 2nd row seat to the same hight person and then I move the 3rd row bench forward to make myself comfortable I'm left with quite big trunk. Kids don't need that much space so the trunk could be even bigger. And all that in the 4.90cm long car. Way bigger than in the 4 cm shorter (4.86cm) Espace. I was really surprised how well thought T6.1 was. I've been waiting with decision to go with T6.1 until T7 comes out. The only thing that makes me want T7 is plugin hybrid which I might be find useful on day to day basis and more space between front seats. That's it. The new table is useless for the 3rd row as it can't be open due to the seats in the 2nd row. If they could be set in the backwards position it would make sense. But due to the seatbelts in the pillar it's impossible to drive like this. The trunk size is disappointing. What's good in sliding seats in the 3rd row if the seatbelts are in the pillar? How will a 6-10 year old kid reach the seatbelt if the seats are moved forward? No AWD? The other car I have is Subaru XV and I don't want the family car to be FWD. I want to go skiing with peace of mind it's not me whose gonna block the road due to snow or slippery conditions. I want to park on grass in the camp site and not have to pray it doesn't rain and I might get stuck there with 5 kids :-).

[@jh5kl]

the confusion is from using the famous name multivan, this is not the replacement for what you think, the bigger multivans (8 seat versions, commercial versions, california, etc) will still be built in a bigger new different platform than this, its just that the T is branching to many platforms and uses, the full electric version will also be built in a different platform from the others. although it needs to be said you re talking about this new version without trying the long version 🙂( remember that this version alone has two lengths, a short and a longer one). here they re just the famous name multivan for the new replacement of the sharan.

[@MrSjeupie]

Just get the integrated seatbelts then. He talks about it around 13:00.

[@julienxu]

17:30 there will be AWD at a later point

[@Ken.Howard]

From Australia: so nice. Will be so good when it comes in full EV next year, as you said! I wonder if VW will bring them here?

[@jh5kl]

if Australia has the Sharan available than most likely yes, however if it doesn t than it will either only get the commercial version built in a very different platform depending if the multivan is available there yet

Looks cool. I prefer the outside of the T6.1 especially the ground clearance.

[@MrSuperdurden]

Nice review, really like the vehicle, my only gripe is that the 3rd row does not fold into the floor like other vans. I suspect this is due to the compact size of the smaller version, but the longer version should have stow and go. I rented a Pacifica and the ability to drop any seat into the floor made the van very versatile.

[@Drzeq]

Have you noticed that here all the seats slide and in Pacifica none does? You cannot stow seats on rails.

[@MrSuperdurden]

@@Drzeq good point, but I would take fixed seats that stow in the floor over sliding seats that you have to remove and store somewhere.

I think it's about time to have a full electrc van/bus. We bought the Chrysler Pacifica electric hybrid because we wanted an electric car and needed a van for my mother who needs a wheelchair and a portable lift with takes up a lot of room. It's the only van that is electric hybrid which gets great mileage. Can't wait to see how this bus looks when it is completed. Love the idea of the different seating configurations and the moving console with the table looks great. Hope those features are in the final production of the bus. Our next car will be an all electric car. Would love to get the VW Bus.
