Is that an AI rendition again? What's going on with the flap under the drivers headlamp?
And the vents? Really. Like why?

Nope, that's screenshotted directly from the VW configurator!!

The flap on the left side is the charging port, as I'd picked a E version that time. Poor location for the port, too!

100% they are, it was the blue one in the promo reveal.

Whether that's a UK Caravelle or an EU Caravelle, aka a Shuttle, who knows?

I stand corrected, again! I thought they weren’t doing the caravelle because of the multi van but were doing the Cali and I’d already been corrected about the Cali!

Nearly £50k for that in Ford or VW guise is simply wrong in my book.

To be fair they start at 38 large, although that's still a big jump from the 6.1,while the Transit starts just under 32. All plus the government bribe, of course.

The colours are lacking a bit too, there's 3 choices if you don't want something that's not black, white or silver. You get to choose between blue, red or baby**** green/brown*

*Not available on the bottom trim, commerce

@BognorMotors Any idea when they're going to start taking orders for the new Caravelle?

The T7 Multivan is the replacement Caravelle I believe with the flexible seat arrangement, but smaller, noticeable smaller - We used to run one

This has the same seating arrangement as the tourneo, which is more along the lines of the Shuttle. The rear seating is very flexible, but no swivel seats or armrests - We run one already and the rear seating is great compared to the outgoing shuttle, with regards to comfort and flexibility

And we are taking orders already so if anyone needs a price on the New Transporter pleas get in touch

Not sure how long it's been up but you can configure a panel van on the VW website.

£50k for a mid level commerce plus 150tdi auto LWB panel van with basically zero options. Yikes.

I think T6.1 values will hold firm with the new van being released. I just don't think it'll be as popular. For all the the reasons we know!

My next van will be either a LWB T6.1 or a crafter.

I don't know how it manages to make those wheels so tiny. Perhaps they are?

 

[Sackmycook]

That's truly awful

 

[TallPaul_S]

Yeah, that's still a no from me.

Also, I'm guessing that's probably not far off £60k's worth of van.

I popped on the configurator and tried to match the spec of mine, which was ordered a couple of weeks before they closed the books on the T6.1. A good few options couldn't be matched yet it still came in £9k more expensive

They won't lose, if the orders flood in they're making serious money, if not they'll "discount" it and make money.

There's already about £3 or 4k off a brand new transit custom on auto trader without when trying.

 

[Howzat]

Im running my T6 into the ground by which time there'll hopefully be a decent alternative. C'mon Nissan, Toyota, Mercedes, Vauxhall or even Maxus, you can do it!
