@@keithreynolds Don't worry about your Berlingo the whole idea of electric cars is to get poor people off the road.So mate your 17k car will be your last 17k car.So get saving.I drive a 1k Skoda Fabia and only electric car i can afford is a remote control one.🤔
I think this looks great. I love the 2-tone paint on this example and I like how the downwards diagonal cut for the hood (bonnet?) gives the illusion of a 'one box' design. I also dig the cavernous and practical interior and would take this over an SUV or generic crossover any day. Also, I think Rebecca is looking especially lovely in this review. :)
The biggest farce for these MPV's is that the 360 degree camera should be standard. The Euro buffs are always blabbing about safety. Try parking safely into narrow spot. So rather than blabbing about the other features, maybe criticise Euro manufacturers regarding this.
If anyone can advise on my dilemma: we are taking a trip through Germany next year, and need space for 3 adults, 1 toddler with car seat, 4 bags, a wheelchair and a pram, then hand luggage etc. Is a VW multivan, a Opel vivaro 9 seater, or a Peugeot rifter 7 seater the best vehicle in terms of space?
Does it come from the factory with solar on top to charge the batt pack on days when you don't drive it or when you have it parked at work? With that much roof space you could easily get ten to twenty miles a day of free charge from the sun.
The design is absolutely brilliant, so modular and flexible but quite underpowered. Also for a similar price or a little bit more, one could get a Kia Sorrento or even a Genesis GV80, which are overall much better to drive and have a more premium feel with longer warranties.
I would be in the market for one of these, but it's a massive miss on two counts. Firstly, it doesn't have 8 seats. Why VW did the caravelle with 7 and this beast with 7 as well is beyond me, when the V Class and the Tourneo have 8 seats. Secondly, it is woefully underpowered. Why the pathetic 150ps diesel when again the V and Tourneo come with much more powerful engines? Silly old VW!
Great car. I look forward to the shouting matches / practical jokes that result from the kids (or mates) stealing the centre console and it's contents!
Smart car/van, suspect I’ll be waiting for second hand before going for my wallet. Out of interest, what’s wrong with the armrest for the driver? Is that your preferred position for it? Seemed a bit odd!
My wallet ran away when it saw those heater control's. Was actually interested until that point. Existing T6 and below has no NCAP, so ive discounted as a family option, so might go and find a Galaxy now, disappointing...
The infotainment and touch sensitive climate controls on vws are absolutely terrible and rage inducing when on the move. This thing is not a good looking car at all and the wheels look oddly small
Toyota Alphard does all this, but far better. 8 seats, swivelling and sliding, electric doors, more space and more flexibility, dual climate aircon, panoramic roof, and Toyota reliability too.
@@lise1255 I have a series 10 2005 2WD 2.4l petrol and use it daily for school runs / early years and family use - 150k miles and it is still comfy and looks like new, in and out. The new ones are silly money though and do look hideous / ridiculous.
When are VW going to sort out awful touchscreen and climate controls...simply would not buy a VW for that reason, and owned GTi 7.5, was shocked by awful MK8 build quality
Lovely Nanny dress (or has it become a teenage thingy?) 😁 And who on this Earth buys those VW-Group products these days? (from the biggest cheating company in the history of car manufacturing - #dieselgate)
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The Best Large Family MPV and very nice In Style Trim
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely vehicle, but please VW bring back buttons and knobs..
This is the base model e-hybrid, "It comes in at, just over £48K". I switched off. The world has gone mad 🙄.
48k and you have to struggle with lifting the tailgate in your pretty summer dress.I bet if it has automatic tailgate it's expensive option.
Our Berlingo does everything this does and we paid under 17k a year ago.

@@nextbestthis is the truth. People too blind too see whats going on. If you want to drive you need to pay a second mortgage for your PCP.
Bummer this is not sold in the US! This would be perfect. ;(
I didn't know Bo Peep did car reviews. 😂
You do realise Rebecca is a pro-racing driver and long time journalist?
@@SquareoftheyearFM yes. And wearing a spectacular dress.

Lorry drivers do it with ease :)
Most folk getting behind the wheel of a well spec’d modern van are pleasantly surprised by the experience ….. but they are NOT a cheap option.
Wonder why its not called a multi mpv?
Love your reviews gorgeous 😍 Rebecca
Would a double mattress fit in the back with all the seats (bar the front 2) taken out?
I so miss my VW Sharan Carat edition with 6 pilot seats and most of the toys that are on this model and better built too.
I love the colour of this car.
?
Would you be able to do a tip run in it without being charged for commercial waste?
not sold in the states yet.....you could have used the Who song "shaking all over " as the music....:)
What a lovely presenter.
Just looks like my Daihatsu Zebra, But this have a bonnet🙏
OMG, Smart interior design!
Excellent review, thanks a million
This should be the new vw touran

Its got a panaramic roof
Seems like this car increased by around £10,000 in 7 months 👍
I switched off when there was no bananas 🍌
I wonder who can afford these and many more vehicles , well out of my pocket!
I bet u travelled here from year 1800
Looks lovely!
This t7 should be the new touran

The interior will mark so easily and stain in that colour black interior is best

Another vehicle people struggling with the cost of living can't afford.

The billowing pistachio prairie dress was a peculiar and rather distracting choice…
The infotainment and touch sensitive climate controls on vws are absolutely terrible and rage inducing when on the move. This thing is not a good looking car at all and the wheels look oddly small
The old t6 layout is better with bigger boot and better lighting for everyone.
The only people looking to buy this minicab firms or taxi firms to an airport runs. The average Joe is far too expensive and utterly ridiculous
Rebecca...what's up with the shmate?

Wow RJ ♥️
Toyota Alphard does all this, but far better. 8 seats, swivelling and sliding, electric doors, more space and more flexibility, dual climate aircon, panoramic roof, and Toyota reliability too.
It's just not available in Europe, costs more than the double and are horrible ugly, but apart from that, I agree.

And you pay more too
Does it have a DSG gearbox ??
If so not moved ahead of the Japanese!
To expensive

Drink every time she says and
Ford Galaxy still drives better, is more practical, easier to live with and more efficient. And that's on a model bloody 15 years old!
There are no plans to replace the Galaxy
😍😍😍
I miss my old T4. This looks awful.
Too expensive and would not buy any products from this company due to diesel gate which in some countries is still not resolved.
Like a posh Sharon 🤔

wow i like this van my grandma nEeDs tHis cAuSe sHe hAs aLot oF gRandChiLdRen
calling this a multivan is an insult to the T4 and the history of VW. It is a piece of junk stretched passat
A possible vanlifers home in the future 🤔
Vanlife for borrowers.
2001 Chrysler Grand Voyager - electric everything including sliding doors + tailgate BUT 2022 VW - NOTHING
And a hugely unreliable death trap to boot. No thanks!
