The rear-most side window panel looks different, with the angled quarter. The new picture does look like a Caravelle to me though
Echo's of the Up! front bumper
I open the door, hoik up on the step and kinda wedge myself against the front of the open door.
Yay for designs that have the ADAS Camera that needs a clear view all the time in the most sodding hard to reach place
Small step ladder comes to mind 
I've got an '04 T5 panel van that came with special toe holds in the bumper for cleaning the windscreen!
None of yer modern painted stuff!

I know styling is very subjective but it occurs to me one of the key things about the T5/6 designs is while they are wide and tall they do "fit" in the space of a large SUV and are one of the few medium sized vans to pull off this trick.
If the T7 is going to be Transit shape then I assume it will also share similar width and height - and that reasonably unique advantage of the Transporter that many of us rely on will be gone?
I guess we've not got to the point where dimensions are released but if it's a common platform they're not going to differ that much?

SWB 5050mm
LWB 5450mm
So about 10cm longer than the T6?
Height and width, it won't be very different from the current T6 will it?
The length (to some extent) doesn't bother me.
The height (car park barriers) and width (car park spaces) does - and I can't seem to find that in the T7 PR nor the Ford (at least not for the amount of searching effort I'm willing to put in!)

Suspect it's part of the deal between Fraud and VW.
Hi @roadtripper
Lounging in bath. So ‘Autotradered’ New Ford Transit;
SWB & LWB
Not checked Transporter dimensions tho!

Reducing range to increase appeal of electric or hybrid?
Car are getting smaller tanks too. I reckon it's another thing to reduce the weight for emissions reasons.
I wonder how much more fuel is used pulling onto the garage forecourt, waiting for a pump with the engine idling, then getting back up to speed again more often than you'd have to with a larger tank due to more frequent fuel stops.

Doubt they’re that fussed about that but manufacturers love optics/marketing so with a smaller tank, and some pie in the sky mpg figures to demonstrate it still has plenty of range, they can now boast their engineers spent time saving weight over the outgoing model and thereby improving everything but mostly mpg…
It’s that transit rear panel that really puts me of it.
As I’ve said before the front is alright but the rear is all wrong.
That looks much better with the square edge panel. Just like a real transporter
