Is my van a T5 or T6?

[Matchwood]

I’m new to Transporters, just bought a T6. I read somewhere a T5 can be made to look same as a T6 - how can I tell for definite I have a T6?

How old is the van? if it's older than 2015 then it's a T5.

From what I’ve read the T6 conversion doesnt normally change the wings. T5 and T6 side indicators are a different unit and in a different location in the wing. Perhaps check some for sale vans on ebay to see the difference.

I wish my T6 was a T5

Cup holders at either end of the dash top is my go to visual check - if it's a 2015 and it has them, someone has tried very very hard to make it look like a T6.

Congrats on the new T6! Easiest way to tell is to check the VIN or paperwork; it should say T6. Also, look for the subtle design changes—T6s have a more modern grille, headlights, and interior updates compared to T5s. If you’re still unsure, hit up a VW dealer, and they’ll confirm it for ya. Enjoy your Transporter!
