Love it or hate it, its here to stay and I promise you, its a grower. I like most, didn't like it when it first arrived. Now I love it, I mean really love it.
Yes its a T7 multivan, no its not replacing the current Transporter. Its hard to explain in text, watch the video and you'll see :)
We head over to Caffeine and Machine to meet up with a bunch of cool Transporter owners. If anyone know's if this thing can be made to look cool, its these guys.
Please do hit that like button, it really does mean a lot.
As always, thanks for watching.

The reason I bought my T5.1 Kombi in the first place was not only as it’s suited my lifestyle (love being outdoors & 3 kids) but I also just genuinely hate people carriers and for me the T7 is just to close to that. There clearly seems to be some confusion around where this sits in the Volkswagen suit but either way it s just doesn’t float my boat and I’m pretty confident it never will. Having said that the video does clear up a lot of questions and I can see why it would appeal to some people as a “new” product rather than a replacement. ✌️

As a VW Technician and Having had several new Transporters since 2004 my only gripe is the van suspension is rough no matter what combination of springs and dampers are fitted. Koni Actives do work the best with std springs but I've not driven one lowered van that rides and handles properly mainly due to the loss of suspension travel. The T7 is built on Car suspension which is designed primarily for handling and comfort and is bound to ride and handle better than the Transporters if not lowered too much. I agree they all look better lowered but without damper travel they handle badly. The T7 will be popular and hopefully get people out of oversized SUV's

@@THQAutomotive In my mind a transporter van will never handle like a sports car but it could ride more like a Limo and less like a load carrier. Koni actives with caravelle springs is the best solution I've found. If you want low and stiff then yes there are stiffer damper rates available.

I use Koni Actives which work great with OE Caravelle springs .They don't work with lowered springs as theres not enough travel to generate internal damper pressure.

It's a T7 multivan. That's what it says on my invoice, that's what it says on all the marketing information VW sent us, that's what it said all over the display at the VW demo day event I was invited to. Unless they're all wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

Was a nice van but it’s ruined by dragging its underside on the floor. Obviously lots of people like that look, but go camping on a rough field and it will be smashing the front bumper off. Bet the handling is ruined too. Everyone to their own and I can see you have put lots of clever work into how it looks. Not one for me though.

Honestly I don't hate it but from a van point of view it looks like you sit too far back from the nose, looks more like a tall Caddy for an ICE Buzz. I figure this is probably around 4 cubic meter load rather than the 6 we're used to? That's what it looks like anyway.

not had any real experience working on them yet, but as a VW commercial vehicle tech and currently being the only one on that team with high volt tech certification my biggest issue is more that it looks like a nightmare working on them. nott too fussed about the look but its far from the worst looking things out there aswell.

I don't quite get the ' it's growing on me' narrative. Hardly a glowing response. Especially after doing a ton of modification to it. The quarter lights near the windscreen are awful. What is it? A Citroen Picasso? I'm sure the interior is a world better. However, externally it's a pig.
