"Volkswagen-Multivan-Highline-TSI-4Motion", from 2,322,100 rubles, CAR from 17.92 rubles / km

All the way from Yasenev to Vladimir, then from the ancient capital of Rus' to the quiet patriarchal Yuryev-Polsky and through Pereslavl-Zalessky again to the south of Moscow, this question tormented me. On the one hand, I dislike heavy fuel engines - because of the difficulties in winter and because in the Russian outback you have to be very attentive to the quality of diesel fuel. But on the other hand, for seven hundred miles, my 204-horsepower "Multivan" gulped down more than a hundred liters - the average consumption was 15.6 l / 100 km. I remember that two years ago, when my friends and I drove the same amount in the Yaroslavl region in a diesel car, the consumption of diesel fuel was much less - 10.2 liters per hundred. And this means that in three years the owner of a gasoline Volkswagen will spend about a hundred thousand rubles more on fuel than the owner of a diesel one. Yep, problem...

The 2.0TSi turbo engine has one more small minus - unlike the 180-horsepower 2.0biTDi biturbodiesel, it cannot be combined with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive at the same time. If you want "mechanics" - take front-wheel drive, if you need "Fir-Motion" - get a 7-speed DSG with two clutches.

It was such a car - and in the top-end Highline configuration, supplemented by a fair amount of custom equipment, that was at my disposal for a whole week. And to tell the truth, despite the advantage of 24 liters. With. over the diesel top engine, the gasoline TSi did not impress me very much. Perhaps because I expected too much. After all, the characteristics promised as much as two seconds of gain in acceleration to hundreds. Of course, on field tests with a stopwatch in hand, it will be possible to measure such figures, but everyday driving in the city is a completely different matter. Here, the advantage of a diesel engine in torque is more important - especially for a car whose weight with passengers and luggage exceeds two and a half tons. And when I just tried to test in practice the gain in maximum speed (197 km / h versus 188), the Vladimir policemen joyfully received me: “Where are we in a hurry?”

In all other respects the machines are equal. In any case, you will get an exceptionally comfortable, comfortable, roomy and carefully finished car for travel for 6-7 people. We described all its advantages, and more than once. There are a few downsides as well. The huge and heavy back door is not easy to open even for a man, and the ingeniously folding table and swivel chairs will require considerable effort. On expensive 18-inch wheels, the smoothness of the ride leaves much to be desired - this became especially noticeable on the road from Vladimir to Pereslavl. Where it is better to leave regular for "Highline" disks "Neva" with a diameter of 17". And the “reserve” hangs low under the bumper - when reversing, be careful. And in general, keep in mind that the 4Motion nameplate does not mean that the Multivan belongs to a cohort of jeeps. Four-wheel drive is needed for a big, tall and heavy car for safe driving on the highway in any weather, and not for off-road exercises.

A gasoline engine is significantly more expensive when buying - the difference ranges from 36,200 rubles in the Panamericana version to 84,400 in Comfortline-Long and Life-Long trim levels - and will require more fuel costs during operation. However, the Multivan is generally an expensive car, and if you can afford to shell out three million, you will find one and a half hundred thousand, if for some reason you do not want to mess with a diesel engine.

Custom thresholds (for 68,500 rubles) significantly reduce the ground clearance of the car, and stylish 18-inch wheels reduce the smoothness of the ride. The turning circle is a considerable 11.9 meters

We decided

"Multivan" is good with any motor - even more so with such a powerful one. But a year and a half ago, when a gasoline 2.0TSi with 204 horsepower cost 166,100 rubles cheaper than 2.0biTDi, there was much more sense in such a purchase.

The official debut of the business version of the Volkswagen Multivan T5 took place in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show. In 2009, the car underwent an update that affected the appearance and engine range.

The external overall dimensions of the Multivan Business body are no different from those of the “regular version of the Multivan” with a standard base. But there are differences in appearance that give the minivan prestige.

The car rests on the road with light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 17 inches, and tinted glass is applied to the rear windows, protecting VIPs from prying eyes. In addition, the luxury Multivan can be recognized by the bi-xenon headlight optics with integrated LED cilia, as well as the inscription printed on the tailgate.

But the main distinguishing feature of the Volkswagen Multivan Business is the exclusive and luxurious interior. In the passenger part of the cabin there are four separate comfortable seats, each of which is endowed with personal heating and electric adjustments in 12 positions.

For more comfortable movement, the car is equipped with a refrigerator, electric doors and a multifunctional table.

The atmosphere of luxury and comfort is created by high-quality leather interior trim and natural wood inserts.

Passenger entertainment is provided by the DYNAUDIO premium audio system with a ten-channel amplifier, the output power of which is 600W. A comfortable environment is provided by a three-zone air conditioning system and a powerful interior heater.

Specifications. For the Volkswagen Multivan Business, only the most powerful engines available on the Transporter T5 are offered. These are 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engines with a return of 150 and 204 horsepower, as well as a bi-turbo diesel of the same volume, issuing 180 “horses”.
The units are combined with a 7-speed DSG “robot” with two clutches and a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system.

Complete set and price. In the Russian market in 2014, the Volkswagen Multivan Business business minivan is offered at a price of 3,935,900 rubles. The car is equipped with bi-xenon headlight optics, leather seat upholstery, a navigation and multimedia system, a premium audio system, a three-zone climate control system, a rear-view camera, rain and light sensors, an active safety complex and much more.

The latest generation of Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 has undergone a global change. Finally, the minivan began to look in full accordance with the corporate style. The appearance of the car now looks attractive. The bumpers are completely painted in the color of the body, which gives the image of the car a finished holistic look.

The dimensions of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan are impressive. Its length can now vary from 4892 to 5292 mm, the width remains unchanged for all modifications - 1904 mm, but the height can also vary from 1970 to 1990 mm. Impressive wheelbase. Available in sizes ranging from 3000 to 3400 mm. The situation is similar with ground clearance. The standard version will have a size of 186 mm, but for the extended version, a clearance of 201 mm is already offered.

The front of the new 2019 Volkswagen Multivan 2020 has become noticeably shorter. The area of the windshield has increased, the hood has become neat. The head optics are presented in the form of rectangular headlights, which are installed on the sides of the new radiator grille. It is made in the best traditions of the company. On it now you can see two transverse chrome strips with the company logo in the middle.

The side view is strict, without any frills and bells and whistles. The minivan received a completely flat roof, a horizontal window sill line, as well as pronounced wheel arches. The area of the side windows has noticeably increased, which has significantly improved visibility.

Behind the new 2019 Volkswagen Multivan T6 model looks no less impressive. The same strict, even geometric shapes are present here. The back door is big. A narrow strip of brake lights was placed on it. The rear glass has an impressive size, which also contributes to excellent visibility. Below we can observe neat vertical lights and the same bumper with elegant and complex stampings. You can see all the changes in more detail in the photo.

Spacious and comfortable interior

Inside is free, spacious, beautiful. The dashboard is simple. The instrument panel is located under a wide visor. The on-board computer screen is also located there. The bright red illumination of the instruments looks very impressive. Most of the space is occupied by the center console. It has become noticeably wider.

A 7-inch color screen of the latest multimedia system flaunts in the foreground. On the sides of it are two vertical deflectors. Below you can see a large number of buttons, toggle keys. I really liked that the gear lever moved up. Now it is located near the steering wheel itself, which is very convenient.

The front seats are comfortable, however, practically devoid of lateral supports. The salon is designed for seven passengers, although I am sure that all 8 can easily accommodate here. There is more than enough free space. I consider the possibility of its transformation a big plus. Both rear seats and the sofa can be moved along the guides installed in the floor. If desired, the rear row of seats can be easily converted into a full-fledged double seat.

Plus, the presence of a large number of drawers, compartments, nets, boxes for storing things. Together with 7 passengers, another 1210 liters of luggage will fit freely in the cabin. Equipment:

help system at start;
stability control system, ABS;
air conditioner;
full power package;
front, side airbags;
parktronic;

Sports has also been updated.

Technical characteristics of the German

The power line of the car has completely changed. Technical characteristics of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan support gasoline, diesel engines and one biturbo diesel.

Each engine is paired with a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. Also offered
7-speed DSG with a pair of clutches, front-wheel drive or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

The price of the new Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 varies from 1,600,500 rubles. up to 2,200,800 rubles It is known that in Russia a huge number of modifications and configurations of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan will be offered. The cost of the most charged and rich equipment will be approximately 3,300,000 rubles.

Competitors from the multiven class

From a large number of competitors of the 2019 Volkswagen Multivan, I can highlight Fiat Ducato And Hyundai H1. The first rival has a more interesting appearance than the Volkswagen, the same spacious interior, as well as rich equipment. The minivan is distinguished by economy, good maneuverability, acceleration dynamics, as well as a high level of comfort. The car has good visibility, decent suspension.

The disadvantages are low ground clearance, which is even lower than that of the GAZelle, mediocre build quality. In winter, the interior warms up for a long time, and the engine starts to act up. The driver's seat has a small number of adjustments. not in favor Ducato soundproofing.

Hyundai H1 looks stylish and graceful. There is enough space in the cabin not only for passengers, but also for luggage. The salon is perfectly adapted for transportation of oversized cargo. It is easy to immerse a refrigerator, TV in the car. Impressive ground clearance, which is 190 mm. It’s not scary to drive such a minivan even on country roads. Praise for excellent handling. Despite its considerable dimensions, the car easily makes complex turns and maneuvers.

Hyundai does have its downsides though. I attributed to them a weak power steering, a rather stiff suspension. It's frustrating that the second and third row seats can't be folded down, they can only be adjusted. Periodically appear "crickets" in the cabin. Good visibility is hindered by wide pillars.

The start of sales of the Volkswagen Multivan 2019 2020 in Russia is scheduled for the second half of autumn.

The new generation Multivan has become more elegant, more comfortable and safer than its predecessor. Once again, we were convinced of this by choosing a luxury car for the test, equipped with the most modern know-how of the German company

Last fall, during the first driving presentation of the Multivan on the T6 platform, we managed to get acquainted with the most democratic representative of the new family - we got the car in Comfortline performance, in a hipster outfit in contrasting colors, which has become a kind of hallmark of the new generation model. And now, in Moscow, we decided to test the minibus in the Highline luxury version, packed with options to the eyeballs.

The seven-seat car arrived with a top-end 2-liter 180-horsepower biturbo diesel engine, a 7-speed DSG sequential “robot” and all-wheel drive. The “German”, which was recently launched at the Volkswagen plant in Kaluga, seemed to flaunt a noble burgundy body color, chrome moldings, LED optics, an electric rear lift and two sliding side doors, as well as an adaptive DCC suspension, which was not offered for the previous generation car. The list of on-board equipment responsible for comfort and safety stretched over two pages of small text.

Marks of Excellence

Already at the beginning of the test of the luxury modification, I was convinced that there is a difference between a van and a van, even when it comes to the high-end Multivan family. Firstly, that a special atmosphere of real comfort has been created inside the Highline version. More precisely, immersion in the world of comfort and attention to detail begins even before entering the salon. To let colleagues inside the car, I press the button on the key, forcing the sliding sash to open - conveniently and quickly. And having closed from the inside, I draw your attention to the fact that the rumble of the street almost does not make its way into the salon: the car in this rich configuration is equipped with special glazing - tinted, thickened, with improved sound insulation.

In terms of decorative delights, the hero of our test also surpasses the "younger" modifications. In fact, elements from the arsenal of premium cars are involved in the design. For example, the front panel is trimmed with elegant plastic inserts in piano lacquer and aluminum look, there are stainless steel linings in the doorways, and the entire floor surface is sheathed with wear-resistant carpet. With a dark front panel, the ceiling panel and beige leather chairs are perfectly combined. Finally, the Multivan Highline uses a higher percentage of soft polymers than the entry-level models, which of course improves the tactile feel.

It is also significant that you can get behind the wheel of such a van faster and more comfortably than in the salons of colleagues in the shop. The driver's seat has 12 electric adjustments, and in our case there were also three settings memory cells. Between a pair of second-row seats there is a retractable table that slides longitudinally or - if necessary - is completely dismantled. The same manipulation can be done with the seats of the two rear rows. Separate seats in the middle row turn 180 degrees. I note that it has become easier to carry out such a rearrangement in the cabin thanks to the modernization of the rail guide system in the floor.

Finally, Multivan Highline will give odds to both other members of the family and competitors in terms of electronic equipment. The test car boasted, in particular, a multimedia unit with Russified navigation, a Wi Fi access point, voice control, a speakerphone and a rear view camera, the ability to “mirror” the screens of Andorid and Apple mobile devices (when connected via a USB cable), as well as a system blind spot control, adaptive optics (automatically turns on and off high beam headlights), front and rear parking sensors, rain and light sensors and an autonomous water heater with a programmable timer.

We also recommend test drives of competing cars

It is important that the passengers of the two rear rows are not deprived of the attributes of comfort in this van. They have reading lights and individual "weather" control - the equipment includes three-zone climate control with deflectors in the roof and on two pillars.

Full set

The 4Motion all-wheel drive transmission, combined with a top-end 2-liter 180-horsepower biturbo diesel engine and a 7-speed sequential gearbox, is perhaps the optimal aggregate bundle when there is a desire to travel, especially if autumn or winter is in the yard. We were convinced of this by going just on such a journey. There are five people in the cabin, playing the role of VIPs. The seemingly not very large trunk accommodated all the travel belongings - backpacks and bags. Even a well-equipped minibus easily takes off the bat, which, of course, is helped by the all-wheel drive system. Its scheme has not fundamentally changed: like most crossovers, on a good surface, the front wheels are leading, but when they slip, the Haldex clutch connects the rear ones. And now, after the transition from the fourth generation Haldex coupling to Haldex 5, the transfer of traction is noticeably faster than before.

The steering wheel of the "German" remained just as light and informative, as well as a little more than we would like, relaxed in the "zero". The reactions of the van to control actions are nevertheless quick and adequate, unlike many competitors, in deep turns the steering wheel does not need to be “wound”. Acceleration is powerful over a wide range of speeds. The robotic transmission works so delicately that you hardly notice the shifts. In Drive mode, the pause before changing gears is slightly longer than in "sports", but the car's reactions to "gas" are smoother. But if there are passengers in the cabin, then it is better not to abuse the “sports” settings.

An adaptive suspension that allows you to vary the stiffness of the shock absorbers is also an absolute blessing - outside the city, when high-quality asphalt replaces a broken canvas and primer, it is logical to set “comfortable” settings for the chassis. Conversely, in a bunch of turns, the Multivan behaves more agile when the shock absorbers are clamped. And the big Volkswagen doesn't veer off course in strong crosswinds.

The dynamic light control system provides optimal illumination of the road. By the way, the automatic inclusion of the "far" is regulated by a video camera that tracks cars in the oncoming and passing directions. The Side Assist assistant, which tracks cars in the dead zone, also turned out to be very useful. The system, run-in on other Volkswagen models, obviously did not become superfluous for the Multivan with its impressive dimensions.

Of course, a luxury minibus, especially with new options, will cost more than the base Multivan, which is offered from 2,364,100 rubles. The starting price of the car in the Highline configuration is 3,493,100 rubles, and the car that we have chosen for testing already costs 5,135,100 rubles. It's a lot of money, though not sky-high, especially considering that this Multivan plays in the big leagues in terms of comfort, handling, electronics and safety. Ultimately, it's good that the sixth generation van, like its predecessor, can be different - for every budget and taste.
