I bet you’re also wondering what that 6.1 bit is about, and you might have also seen it as T6.1? Long after VW launched their first van – you know the one, the hippy bus – in the 50s, some bright spark at VW decided the vans needed a sort of nickname. On the inside there are a number of changes, the most important of which is the eye-catching touchscreen (more on that later). There’s also a different exhaust system compared to the previous model which is how VW has met the required emissions levels for this model without having to make changes to the engine. The grille has been made larger to help the Euro-6d engine meet emissions standards, while the headlights have been slimmed down and merge with the bars in the grille to make the front end look a bit sleeker. What has been changed on the Transporter 6.1 is a revamped grille, bumper and headlights. Although the T6 is technically the older van, the T6.1 has been on sale a lot longer so the majority of new Transporters are actually these models. You'll see it reffered to as a T6 and a T6.1 as well as just a Transporter. In a nutshell, it’s the six generation of a van that’s been around since the dinosaurs were young lads and it uses pretty much the same bits, like the bodywork and a lot of the interior, as the Volkswagen Transporter T6. The Volkswagen Transporter 6.1 is somewhere between a mid-life facelift of the really popular and really rather good previous van and an all-new van.
