Thanks Chris for the quick overview. You must be one of the only pro active VW Van dealers in the UK. It’s appreciated from perspective purchasers. I ordered a new Caravelle Executive in February with Woodstock alloys. I to wasn’t sure about wheels in brochure but they do look ok. Not sure when delivery date is going to be now. I would have ordered it from yourselves but you are a long way from me. Keep up the good work.
One thing I don't like about this car is the space between the passenger and the driver what is that for? Merc V class doesn't have that, VW needs to do something about that
@@CaliforniaChris I do understand that but there should be a storage cabin or a fridge for the California modela with comfort leather trims on top besides the arm rest
@@tiezon-topic the California Coast and Ocean models do come with a fridge. Plenty of storage too. The Caravelle is more of a passenger vehicle so doesn't come with them :).
@@tiezon-topic Agree about the handbrake. The T7 model has already been rumoured and, if it's anything like the new Caddy 5, it should have an electric handbrake.
Nice overview, thanks for sharing. love mine, such a versatile vehicle even with a family of just 4! I have a 4motion so much more practical than a massive SUV, similar price and smaller than some! Pleased I decided to go for one of the last T6s off the production line though, although the 6.1 obviously has all the things that electro-mechanical steering enables personally I think the new front end looks weak and can’t stand all the open glove boxes, in a family vehicle serenity is maintained by hiding stuff ;-) lovely wheels, good choice.
@Mum On a Mission, we have recently become a family of 4 with our 2nd daughter born and I cant help but think of summers ahead and quality family time together so am looming at the potential of buying a Caravelle. Would you recommend this for a family of just 4? I am thinking of camping trips, taking bikes, the children and their friends on trips etc etc. Do you find this vehicle is worth that or do you not find your self using it that much? Any feedback appreciated!
@@harrycowleshc Would have loved to own this when my boys were in car seats - would have been so much easier! They are now a teenager + a few years younger so we're a family of 4 albeit my boys are rapidly turning into men!!! I originally thought we might leave the 2 centre seats out most of the time i.e. have it as a 5 seater but the boys love their central row armchairs so we just push those seats right back against the rear bench seat and everyone has loads of room. We just slide their seats forward when we want to carry friends/team mates. The rail system for the rear seats is excellent, the rear centre table looks good but I'm not impressed (takes up a lot of room and is just the wrong height for anything so we've taken it out). On the downside I do have a little parking anxiety though, it's nicely manoeuvrable (considering) and fits in spaces fine but it's not a tiny hot hatch so there is always the worry of unexpected and stupidly low height barriers or idiots banging their doors against it so if I can I park a little further from where I'm going in a quieter spot. I work from home anyway so our mileage isn't huge and this year is unusual anyway but I've never had an issue just a nervousness if going anywhere new. If I had a stupidly small office car park to park in every day my answer might be different... Also I'm not convinced that all the finishing is up to the standard of the same price luxury car. There are no faults just things which seem to have been designed with more of a utility commercial mindset trying to do luxury rather than for the pure aesthetic experience - does that even make sense? For the way I use it I absolutely love it and really enjoy driving it, son's hockey team and maths challenge team also enjoyed being driven around and once I've dropped them off I sit in the bus and have a cuppa whilst they play! I tow a small touring caravan with ours (some images and vids on it on my channel) and the combo of that with the "bus" is just perfect for us. I've made a few additions to ours - curtains, slide out rear kitchen, etc. which I'm putting together into a "creating the ultimate family day van" for my channel, will come out in the autumn. It's reasonably thirsty fuel wise but it's large so that's understandable and a lot of our miles have been towing so I haven't collect a fully representative set of data yet. I went for the 199PS, 4 motion DSG which considering it's a box of air drives really well and can get off the lights at a reasonable pace ;-) I'm not convinced such an engine would be required unless you were trying to tow a heavy caravan off a wet field but test drive different sizes loaded with the whole family to see what you think. Usually I hate autos with a passion but this one is ok! Hope that helps - go test drive some and get a feel for it (leaving the wallet at home at first!) you'll soon know whether the positives outweigh the slight challenges ;-)
Well its cheaper then a Mercedes Benz V class by a huge margin . But it doesn't have that status and presence of a V class but if the new VW has electric open and close doors like the v class then I'm even more sold on it

Just awaiting delivery of my T6.1 executive- can’t wait
Great vehicle. I had the T4, 8 seater 5 doors 2.5 Turbo Diesel Manual extra long wheel base special order from new. Great vehicles to drive.
Hi Chris, Does the back seat fold down flat, so as it can be used as a a bed ?
Best Van in the World!
Thanks for the vid. beautiful vehicle, thinking of one for next family car. Do all the rear seats offer Isofix?
Can it carry 4 push bikes in the back and still have room for 2 people in the back?
Definitely can - I've done this myself.
One thing I don't like about this car is the space between the passenger and the driver what is that for? Merc V class doesn't have that, VW needs to do something about that
There's enough space to walk from the passenger / driver seat in to the rear of the vehicle without having to get out.
@@CaliforniaChris I do understand that but there should be a storage cabin or a fridge for the California modela with comfort leather trims on top besides the arm rest
@@CaliforniaChris also the handbrake is bit old for that car it should be replaced with a Button handbrake

Not at the moment, sorry.
** *_Is It start sell in USA?_*
Unclear at the moment. We only get updates about UK changes over here. I hope you can order it soon!
