Real MPG: Volkswagen T5 Caravelle (2010 - 2015)

Number of RealMPGs submitted

22–42

Real MPG

31.8

Average

Similar cabin to Volkswagen car models, very quiet and refined on the move, luxury feel, plenty of rear space, strong performance from 2.0 TDI engine, upmarket looks.

There are considerably cheaper seven seat people carriers available, running costs are high, rear seats are heavy and awkward to lift out. Catastrophic engine problems with 2.0BiTDI after 60k miles.
