Volkswagen has a heritage in this segment going back decades, mainly with various generations of its long-running Caravelle series. That Caravelle was supposedly succeeded in 2021 by the brand's Multivan MPV, but it's this Transporter Shuttle that's really the true replacement. The Caravelle was, after all, always unashamedly Transporter van-based - in a way the Multivan isn't but this Shuttle model really is.
That might make you think that the drive experience here would be very LCV-like, but actually it really isn't. Which is true whether you choose this model in diesel, PHEV or EV forms. But like the old Caravelle, it's eminently sensible, doesn't try and be a van-like car and just gets on with the job of transporting a lot of people a lot of miles. Just as it should.
