About the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1
The T6.1 update to the sixth-generation Volkswagen Transporter arrived in 2019, introducing a significant technological overhaul to a platform dating back to the T5. The most notable change was the switch to electro-mechanical power steering, which enabled a suite of modern driver assistance systems like Lane Assist and Crosswind Assist. The 150 PS 2.0 TDI engine serves as the range's sweet spot, offering a balance of punchy mid-range torque and motorway refinement. Inside, the T6.1 gained a redesigned dashboard featuring the MIB3 infotainment system, bringing the van's cabin closer to Volkswagen's passenger car line-up. It remains a staple for both commercial fleets and the enthusiast-led camper conversion market.
