Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is introducing a new eight-seat version for the Multivan. This expands the current range, which previously included configurations with five, six, and seven seats. In the new variant, the Multivan offers three individual seats each in the second and third rows. These seats can be individually removed and repositioned, thereby maintaining the usual versatility of the model.

Market Launch and Variants 

Pre-sales for the new eight-seater will begin on May 28, 2025, in select European countries. The variant will be offered in all equipment lines of the Multivan, each based on the version with an extended rear overhang. The total length of the vehicle is 5,173 millimeters. 

In the basic "Multivan" version, a configuration with five seats is standard. The additional cost for the three extra individual seats in the basic version is 1,612.45 euros, including VAT. In the "Life," "Edition," and "Style" equipment lines, which are delivered as seven-seaters as standard, the additional cost for the eighth seat is 660.45 euros. These variants feature two individual seats in the second row and three in the third row. Additionally, in the eight-seat configuration, two folding tables are included on the backs of the second-row seats.

Equipment and Safety 

The middle rear seats are equipped with integrated three-point seat belts. In the "Life", "Edition", and "Style" models, the outer seats of the second row are equipped with foldable armrests. In these variants, the driver and front passenger seats have two armrests, both inside and outside.

Engines and Drive 

Two engine options are available for the eight-seater Multivan: a turbo diesel with 110 kW (150 hp) and a turbo gasoline engine with 150 kW (204 hp). Both models come with front-wheel drive and are equipped as standard with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG).
