Overview

  • The eHybrid 4MOTION system eliminates a mechanical driveshaft by using an 85 kW front motor, a 100 kW rear motor and a 1.5 liter TSI evo2 petrol engine for flexible all-wheel traction.
  • A 19.7 kWh battery delivers between 85 km and 95 km of WLTP-rated electric range for typical daily driving.
  • AC charging up to 11 kW and DC charging up to 50 kW allow a 10 % to 80 % recharge in about 26 minutes.
  • Digital torque vectoring through the ESC system and four selectable drive modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport, Individual) send up to 100 % of drive torque to either axle and engage permanent AWD up to 130 km/h in Sport mode.
  • The system includes series-fit electric standstill climate control to heat or cool while parked and the Multivan starts at €72,994.60 with the California at €83,229.
