Built on the long wheelbase (LWB) version of the Multivan, the new Camper is available in two powertrain options and is available to order now.
Powertrain and price
The basic model can be structured as follows:
- 2.0 TDI 150 PS DSG – From £43,900 (excluding VAT) / From £52,680 (including VAT)
- 2.0 eHybrid 240 PS DSG 4Motion – From £50,725 (excluding VAT) / From £60,870 (including VAT)
The plug-in hybrid version with 4Motion all-wheel drive offers a wide range of options for customers who want greater usability, especially on long distance trips or on varied terrain.
Structural design considering renovation
The Multivan Camper is designed to reduce unnecessary waste of resources and facilitate renovation work. The vehicle is equipped with the following specifications at factory:
- Equipped with a manual pop-up roof (roof tent)
- Pre-application of interior roof lining
- Completely empty rear cargo space
- No floor finish applied
- Rear seat not installed
- 2 rotating front seats
- double sided sliding door
- tailgate
This configuration contributes to reducing costs and modification time by eliminating the process of removing unnecessary parts.
Interior space and cargo capacity
While maintaining the body size of the Multivan LWB, Camper offers 4,053 liters of space behind the front two seats. The internal dimensions are as follows:
- Length: 2,625mm
- Width: 1,665mm
- Height: 1,312mm
This spatial configuration allows for a variety of interior arrangements, from a compact layout for a weekend trip to a more complete design for a long-term trip.
Select custom specifications before shipping
Even before modification, a variety of options are provided to help you choose a specification that is close to the final result. Key options include:
- 3-zone Climatronic air conditioner
- Heated front seats
- navigation system
- alloy wheel
This approach allows converters to start their projects with a base vehicle that better matches the needs of the end customer.
Type approval
The Multivan Camper is supplied with incomplete M1 type approval and requires stage 2 type approval after conversion for final registration. Therefore, this model is a product aimed at the professional modification market.
Through this strategy, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles expands its position in the camper van market and provides an official standard platform for developing customized solutions for various purposes such as leisure, tourism, and adventure mobility.
