The Volkswagen Multivan Life is VW's car-based people mover, built on the same MQB platform as the Golf and Tiguan rather than a commercial van, so it drives and rides more like a large passenger car than a bus. In Australia it comes in one well-equipped Life grade in two lengths; this is the short-wheelbase version at 4,973mm, seating seven in a flexible 2+2+3 layout with sliding, removable and rotating rear seats on a rail system. Power is a 2.0-litre TDI turbo-diesel making 110kW and 360Nm through a 7-speed DSG, with a claimed 6.2L/100km. Standard kit includes electric sliding doors on both sides, a power tailgate, three-zone climate, a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and a digital cockpit. It holds a 5-star ANCAP rating from 2022 and VW's 5-year unlimited-kilometre warranty. Priced from $78,990 drive-away.

The Volkswagen Multivan Life LWB is the long-wheelbase version of VW's car-based MQB people mover. It shares the short-wheelbase model's 3,124mm wheelbase but stretches 200mm longer overall to 5,173mm, almost all of it extra luggage space behind the third row (661 litres versus 469). It still seats seven in a flexible 2+2+3 rail-mounted layout, and runs the same 2.0-litre TDI turbo-diesel (110kW/360Nm) and 7-speed DSG, using a claimed 6.2L/100km. Electric sliding doors both sides, a power tailgate, three-zone climate, a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and a digital cockpit are standard. It carries a 5-star ANCAP rating from 2022 and a 5-year unlimited-kilometre warranty. Priced from $81,990 drive-away.
