Volkswagen has been teasing us about a new version of the iconic VW Transporter for years now, starting with the eCO-Motion electric concept van in 2013. But according to CarScoops, the new T6 Transporter will be officially unveiled on April 15 and go on sale in Europe later this year. Will it make it across the pond to American shores? Volkswagen hasn’t told us that but don’t hold your breath.
There is only so much you can do with a box on wheels. You can throw in some creases in the sheetmetal here and there or play with the design of the headlights and the grille, but when you are done, it is still going to look like a box on wheels. The official VW design sketch you see here doesn’t tell us anything about what the front of the new Transporter will look like.
We do know that mechanically, the T6 Transporter will be based on the chassis of the current T5 model, so don’t expect any big changes in length, width or height. It will be powered by Volkswagen’s current gasoline and diesel engines. There is also a possibility it may offer the company’s 237 horsepower 2.0-liter TDI that debuted on the new Passat as an option.
Most of the differences will be on the inside, which is expected to offer a redesigned dashboard complete with an integrated screen for VW’s latest infotainment system. We will have more on the new T6 Transporter after its official introduction.
