Volkswagen MULTIVAN – collective page of the fitted-out variant of the Transporter: T4 to T6, swivelling seats, Bestel registration, TDI engines of 1.6 to 3.2 litres
This page gathers the Volkswagen Multivan, the fitted-out version of the Transporter with swivelling individual seats, a table and a folding rear bench, from the T4 to the T6. Built at the home plant of Hannover-Stöcken, VW positions the Multivan between the simpler Caravelle and the fully camper-equipped California; Bestel (Dutch for commercial vehicle) marks the commercial registration variant in the model names. TDI denotes turbocharged direct diesel injection, 4MOTION permanent four-wheel drive, and VAN and DC (crew cab) the body variants.

The register lists here 51 versions with displacements from 1,580 to 3,189 cm³ from four- to six-cylinders, unladen weights from 1,580 to 2,800 kg against gross weights of 2,250 to 3,100 kg and widths from 1,820 to 1,980 mm; outputs are recorded for a handful of entries at 51 to 128 kW, lengths at 4,570 to 5,360 mm.
The Multivan counts as a segment of its own between van and camper and competes with the Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo and Ford Tourneo Custom Nugget; the Bestel registration in the Netherlands was used above all by tradespeople wanting the flexible space for both professional and private use.
On used examples, the rail system for the swivelling seats, the table and folding-bench mechanism, and on TDI engines the timing belt and turbocharger all call for checking, as does rust at the sliding-door tracks and floor; parts run through the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network.
