Watching it now in 2024 and I’m weeping for the 2020 Brian that mentions how a lot of us were holding out on the “T7” to see what would come…
Oh if only we knew 🤦♀️
This is the best iteration of the best bus on the road. Great review. 👌🏽
The review was amazing , informative and well thought out.
very well done Brian!

Great review. Thank you Brian & Thomas! Looking forward to this model releasing in Australia.
top notch review. I knew i could rely on Autogefühl to do a decent review of the vehicle i am researching 👍
Very nice to see Brian again 🙋 could reviewing more often 👍👌
Great review, thanks
I dont consider $60,000 too much. It is a wonderful van. I am a van fan having driven thousands of kilometres all over west australian farm roads and country highways. I look forward to them coming to Aust!!
I love this car. Really hope it’s coming to the us.
Loved the subtitle TH-cam put over the thumbnail. 'Hi, I'm Brian. Welcome to Outsider Fuel.
Great review guys. Thank you. Everything seems perfect with this van, accept the placement of the aircond knobs. Its a hassle to reach for my likey. But that is just a very small downside of this great vehicle. Love this channel. Keep up the great work guys.
thanks! Please subscribe to both channels and recommend us =)
@@autogefuehl Done following your 2nd channel. Much love from Malaysia. =)
Great video - thanks!
Very nice review, thanks! Just have one question: can you remove the back seat row altogether and put it back in easily?
Comprehensive review. Really well done. Regarding vans, it is said you buy one because you need one, not you like one. But once you try, you will never came back to regular cars. I own 7 seater MVP and after a few years of ownership i cannot imagine different car. Is comfy, in/out access is really easy, big boot (to be clear you just throw things inside, no need play tetris), nice command position.
I am wondering when VW will wake up and bring this amazing car in North America.....this is an amazing van!!!!
it would be a game-changer...
Awesome Brian - thank you!
Very good and understandable review!
👋👌
Thanks for showing the new T6.1 and thanks for the review. I'm just interested in the panel version really but it was quite interesting. Multivan of € 38,000 is a very reasonable price. In Ireland the previous model (T6) Shuttle starts at € 51,900. It looked from the photos & previous videos i had seen that the dashboard layout had the radio & heater controls section angled towards the driver, Is that true or not? Is the DSG gearbox still a 7speed? I do not see a Headlight Washer System on those LED Headlights as is on the T6, has that changed?
What a really nice van. I have the older version and I notice that they must name it as T5.3 instead of T6.1
Nice, new Stuff i can fit to my 2003 T5.
Great job guys
an excellent video, very very well explained, a perfect job 👍😊☘️
cheers =) Please subscribe and recommend!
I would love to have this
Thanks Brian...the tradition continues. I had a "73" camper. Great van.
Great review as always! What is optional in this comfort trim? Are Parking sensors, wheels, digi cockpit obviously, electronic steering, optional? And most of important :does it have full LED lights front and rear including indicators?
A LOT is still optional ...
Yes, I like a Bulli! That one's nice - but I actually liked the original T5 LWB Hi-Top with the old gruff 5-clyinder, and the 6-speed torque converter auto. So I'm biased! Many thanks Team.
I bought a black one from the factory in 2006. Had it for ten years, covered 230 thousand miles. Loved it. Only problem we had was exhaust fumes coming into the cab.
Great review, as always. What about the Ford Tourneo Custom facelift - do you plan a review of that, as well?
Thanks! not in the books yet
Благодарю за грамотный и подробный обзор новинки.))
With 4Motion, Seikel suspension lift / bash plate kit and BFGoodrich All Terrains please!!!
Thank you for the review Brian.
I’ ordered a Transporter Shuttle T6 in September 2019. Don’t think it will be ready till next year. Can’t wait.
Enjoy!
Just ordered one in executive trim in Ravenna blue with bigger wheels 😃
are the indicators in the front in the right side of the headlights that are my first prioerity
Hi, the price i see is more like 70k€ than 60k€ and the problem is for that price you get a whole motorhome/campingcar. My use would be different, it would be to host toyas like a motorbike for example. What price can we get for that use ?
How smooth is the ride compared to Peugeot Traveller and Kia Carnival?
Could’ve showed the infotainment system a bit more since it’s very complex.
Thanks for the good review.
Is the radio & heater controls section angled towards the driver?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks! No
@@autogefuehl Thanks. I kinda looks that it's angled towards the driver a bit more than the T5/T5.5/T6 models.
hi,can you talk about caravale vs siena for familys?thank you.
The price is crazy!
Decisions decisions, new 6.1 or wait for the 7?
Need more Brian's reviews! Practicing English listening with him! Is Brian a British?
Yep :)
@@autogefuehl love 🇬🇧❤️🙏🇺🇦
I've got a T6 multivan and the T6.1 seems exactly the same but with an update dashboard and front end, did any of the mechanicals get updated? Its a great vehicle but for the 6.1 that are for passenger use I would have hoped for better dampners, anti roll bars and maybe a drop in ride height. All pretty easy stuff to do and makes a world of difference to the ride
DCC is available
I don’t understand complaining about the lack of practicality of not having a volume knob, I can’t remember when I last used the one on my cars entertainment system - the buttons on the steering wheel are much more practical!
I think it's safe to say you're a fan. BTW a lot of the stuff you rave on about has been on the Mercedes Viano/V Class for years
So, what is your point? He is a Bulli fan who also declared it, while you are a Merc fan (undeclared, of course) and all you want to do is trash the image of the Bulli. No matter what people say, a VW Transporter fan will always appreciate it no matter how many other options other brands offer and even if those are offered earlier.
Actually (as it happens I think the VW is a nicer camper than the Merc) I was merely pointing out that the reviewer was waxing lyrical about stuff that’s been around for years.
@@hughmarcus1 yes indeed, but it is normal since it's the first time these features are added onto VW Multivan.
36:00 looks a little bit likes Brian has an Umbrella, with the orange door behind 😅😅😅 ☂
Thanks for the Video! Have you tried the 150 HP version in the meantime and can compare to the 199?
Cheers! Hmm we also have this version not sure what we had there
th-cam.com/video/IAJWE75VIGI/w-d-xo.html
@@autogefuehl just watched it, it was the T6 also with the larger engine ~200 HP. I would be interested in the difference. We ordered a T6.1 with 150 HP because of potential durability and also the higher price of 4500 Euro. The car will arrive sometime this year, depending on the parts availability at VW :-) we still have the chance to change the order, but do you really need the 50 HP and 110 NM more...
Since it is the same engine just with a different tune, no you’re fine
Probably not available in the States. Will the electric version be available in the USA?
The retrofitted probably not, but the all-new one in 2 years most certainly.
Best!
My old T25 is much bigger in the luggage in a seven seat configuration. MUCH bigger. Granted it needs someone to go under the car with a spanner to take the seats out but still, how did cars get so much bigger outside and smaller inside after 35 years?
Crash safety
I can’t wait for the ID Buzz.

My favorite VAN of all !
Volume knob an issue? Can't you use the steering mounted volume control?
yes thats also possible. Still good to have one
Why do you all avoid bringing criticism, where they are? Și you make yourself not see or not really see? Ex: 1. In the space for documents they removed the lid, which looked so good at T6! 2. The enclosed space with lid above the dashboard has been replaced with slots, as in trucks! 3. The enclosed space with a lid, to the right of the gearbox, has been replased with an open space used for charging the mobile phone. And the space before could have been used for the same purpose. 4. Some holes for glasses appeared on the left and right of the board. All these open spaces are on commercial vehicles, not on a MULTIVAN HIGHLINE! Um...I forgot something, the closed space, for the glass, from below, he disappeared! All these many enclosed spaces, unique to Multivan, have delighted the owners. Now they're gone. You don't see, you don't mind, why don't you say anything?
Nice review albeit at times maybe a bit too 'enthusiastic' :-) Agree with comments re commercial origins and benefits - especially q's like 'is this thing good around town'? Of course it is :-) Seems this is the last of it's kind before completely new T7? Guess VW will work on passenger car features like better / softer plastic inside, reorg that dash currently filled with buttons and protruding gear lever, new engines, external design... Anyhow, respect for the 'founding father' of the class! :-) That said, I've picked up last week my new V300d (fully specced) and have to say am positive surprised by a number of things... Comfortable, big (!), engine cool, Burmester sounds amazing, start-stop works great, very nimble around town, cameras and autopark perfect, in general quality seems high (is not for a bit of squeaky plastic on the dash :-) Mercedes Me app is awesome (guess VW has something similar)... On the downside, Comand Online is a joke from ergonomy perspective, but getting used to it... Plus kids love it! So, yes, vans, have a way of getting 'under your skin' :-) :-)
thanks for the feedback :)
Hope we had Sharan in our country. But Vw Turkey not importing some good cars like Sharan. So Multivan is the best choice for big families in my country.
perfect video...
Why would you need a volume button? You just mentioned the steeringwheel buttons....
There is plenty of research that the volume button is the most wanted button in a car
I subscribe to this channel in part to feel envious of vehicles available in Europe and denied to us in the US. Never more so than this review of the Multivan T6.1. What we refer to as "minivans" are a drag on the market in the US, having been supplanted almost completely by a raft of crossovers of every size and shape, many so large that what we call "midsize" would be considered "gargantuan" in Europe. Add to that the fact that VW has traditionally faced major challenges in selling Euro spec versions of their vehicles in the US where we like our vehicles larger and cheaper. And even at currently favorable exchange rates with the euro, a $66,000 minivan would be an especially tough sell here.
And then, of course, there's the elephant in the room, the residual effects of "diesel-gate" in the US. Never a highly popular alternative among American consumers where fuel is cheap, diesels from almost every brand, and especially from VW are simply dead in the US. Whether that's a permanent condition is unclear but it may not matter with the increasing popularity of hybrids and pure EV's.
So sadly, there will be no Multivan in the US. Considering its innovative design perhaps we can hope the other manufacturers still committed to a shrinking marketplace for minivans may copy some of its features.
Please tell me when T 7 will be presented to the world?
Can I get one in RHD????
Sure want one. Very handy and nice vehicle. Want the 4X4.
I hoped VW T6.1 have panoramic roof option ! Is very claustrophobic when long haul drive for the children at the 3rd row .
I think Mercedes Benz V-Class is better options for family convenience for long haul drive
Whatta beautiful car 😍
Cool i can live there, transport things and people.
VW should have panoramic Roof as Standard
Where is the TV for the “BACKSEAT” BOYS?
thank god, there is still a manual
The incentive to get an electric is a lot bigger for us living in countries where EV's are registration tax exempt. An EV Bulli would be 1/2 the price or less of a diesel here, as all ICE cars are severely taxed.
I get that family comes first, but getting a car like the Sharan or this T6 as your only car, doesn't it feel like your giving up too much from an enthusiast point of view?
Man, I watched this even though it's not even offered in Canada. Brian always kills it and he slayed his cameraman for a bonus! Checkin out those hot moms hey Thomas??? hahah
=) Brian and Thomas B. surely make a great team!
😎
Great review but please stop calling it a van. Vans usually don't have windows to the rear of the driver as in a commercial vehicle. Yes ,the base vehicle is commercial but it has windows to the rear so it is more a people carrier as it is very well appointed. MPV as in the V5C in UK.
If this was sold in the US I would totally get it and put a light bar on it and jack that sucker up and put some off roading tires on it sheeeeesh
Funny guy, thanks!
🤗
Big 👍
**bleugh**
The t6 needs to fade out quickly for the I.D _Buzz._
For over €67 grand and zero plug-in or hybrid capability. _why the f why?_
The point is, it's outmoded and ludicrously expensive....a terrible buy.
@@sweetfreedomGB Wait until you see the price for the Electric or Hybrid! The Electric Crafter van is over €80,000!!!
wye the noise in the begining?
Just noticed what does it have on the roof?! 😅 I will wait till t7 thank you.
Last Review before the 6.2 comes. 🤔🤔
The layout of that shift lever and the ventilation controls is absolute bullocks. VW should have stayed with a center stack design with "hands reach" transmission shift (which was functional in manual mode for upshifts and downshifts) like they had in the Routan.
How many people can drive in it and Is it a front or rear wheel drive? Say that price normally.
And watch Thomas's review of VW Crafter. You might learn thing.or two.
P.S. I also love vans but 5008 RULES!!!! ;-)))
FWD yes
Expensive yes, do they hold the value ....yes ....are they worth what they ask for them ...no, would I buy one.... yes but it wouldn’t suit my needs for work tools, if I was using it to go camping taking the family it’s perfect and nothing is better .
Button on the end of the table pops up. Should have done that 1st time. We have a T6 4 motion dsg 205 bi Turbo is awesome. Double glazed windows, power side doors, rear tail gate, radar, touch screen sat Navi, heated seats, power mirrors, memory seats, 3 zone climate, blinds throughout, auto close windows, paddle shift, leather wheel. Quality van. No need for an R version. 4motion is really quick. Ours is executive spec too. 3rd one in 7 years! Ace vans.
The flexibility stuff ( seats on the long tracks, tale between,... ) is the same as by the first T5 from 2000. No improvement in this case, but the positive is, they didn't damage it! I have T5 but I will newer switch to T6.1 - no manual gearbox possibility with 4x4 and because of all the .... electronics, touch ....🤢 . I am afraid about the T7, that this will be another Smartphone on wheels 😵🤢 like the new Golf.
Love these but the price is just ridiculous for any VW van.
Quite right, how on earth do VW keep getting away with it?
What are the competition's prices? More or less the same probably.
If you compare it with a Mercedes V-class the t6.1 is much cheaper
@@Liamofloin In Spain, Renault Tracic Space class 2.0 145 cv with bed 30.000, voksvaguen multilvan 41.000
@@elbekibun5342 Is that so? Interesting. That's a good powerful Traffic. But I do think the VW body is much better built and much nicer finished.
I own -88 T3 Syncro 1,9l wbx. Still better than newest garbage there is available.
What T6 means??
What do you think the T stands for in Volkswagen Transporter.....????
Thomas, you have to roast Brian too when you are doing your car reviews. 😆
=)
My dream
That would be perfect car for my family (2+3+cocker spaniel ;)) but.... I will not buy diesel engine - especially after such "nice" story as Dieselgate... additionally my daily commute would kill the engine. I would consider version with TSI but since months these are unavailable. So I'm looking forward for EQV review (but I think the price for MB will be "stellar"...)
@@roli22039 Some do - knowing how many billions of dollars some producers have paid already :P
@@roli22039 One concern might be seeing that dieselgate cost VW so much they might cut back on quality checks & customer care.
Who on earth would commute in one of these?
@@gaycha6589 You have to visit Germany :) - in small village I'm living, at least 3 families are driving their kids to kindergarten with Multivans and Vclass
Hmmm V class is better but its price is silly so maybe this is better.
Good review. But you haven't talked about car lighting. This is important for a car that will travel on mountain roads at night.
Autogefühl is my favourite TH-cam channel for car reviews. This is another great review. I have a general question. It's something that I cannot understand the reason for, and it could also determine my choice of car when buying one. Why do so many cars have the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. And why do they make it so that you have to look at it to control it? The only car I have had (or driven) with the controls on the steering wheel which I could control without looking at it was my 2012 Ford Focus. But I think the best way to make the control is to have a separate lever, like it is in my current car, 2017 Skoda Octavia. I don't have to look at it to control it. I just know which way to push the lever to operate it.
My Corolla also has them on the steering wheel and after driving a few days with it I could operate them blindly. Easy to get used to it.
@@DaFrenkNL Yes, but sometimes there are so many small buttons. Also, when the buttons are on the front of the steering wheel you have to release the grip on the steering wheel to reach them. As I mentioned, my Ford had a quite good solution, but I still feel the best way is to have a separate lever, like for the turn signal and wind screen washers. Much easier :)
Cheers! Hm i guess its easier to see than a hidden stalk column
@@autogefuehl Maybe, but my point is that I think you should be able to do it without seeing it. :)
Just buy the t5 the best van made
But don`t buy a Bitdi T5.
Or Check the Motor ist from 2016. In this case IT is already changed.
ALPHARD .. IS NICE DESIGN
ALPHARD .. IS MORE GOOD LOOKING
Just picked up one of these in the UK. And despite it being all over the brochures and literature as standard on the executive trim model, no wireless charging pad. Booooooo. Just a cup holder with 2 charging points. Disappointed to say the least.
€100.000+ in Norway :(
Sean Smith 😂😂😂😂
Unbelievable!!!!!
I'd unfacelift the 6.1 just to have that interior, also torque is 330 lbft or around 400nm with this particular engine
Sorry but I love more Brian than Thomas! More clean speech and feelings. Should do more often reviews!
😂 no problem
Ill buy Bentley for that price.
