2025 VW T7 Transporter and Caravelle: First Official Photos
The corresponding Ford already exists. It is the Transit Custom, oddly named because there is also the much larger Transit. So we can see from the collaboration with Ford where things are headed.
So there will be a diesel mild hybrid with the two-liter engine from VW, optionally with a six-speed, 8G automatic and all-wheel drive. The plug-in with around 16 kWh and, according to the manufacturer, 57 km of electric
range will probably be available from Ford with a 2.5L gasoline engine from Ford.
Things get difficult with the fully electric version. Its gross capacity is well over 80 kWh, but net capacity is only 64 kWh. Ford also mentions an incredible range of 380 km, with a towing capacity of up to 2 tons, and the diesel
version even has a towing capacity of 2,800 kg.
| There will be three power levels each for diesel and full hybrid. |
As expected, it will be available as a flatbed, double cab and passenger transporter or panel van, configurable in two lengths and heights. Double doors or a tailgate and also windows in the side sliding doors are possible.
The loading volumes of up to 9 m3 are OK.
However, you should be careful with the maximum payload of up to 1.3 tonnes, because as the electrical equipment increases, it shrinks like snow in the sun. However, both models have 230V with up to 2.3kW of power.

If we summarize all the inch measurements, then there are 16-19 inch wheels and 12 inches behind the steering wheel and 13 in the middle. The Ford's practical folding steering wheel, which can be used as a work
surface too, will probably not be available from VW.
Finally, the wheelbases of 3.10 and 3.40 m and the lengths of 5.05 m and 5.45 m should be mentioned. The prices are already known and start at around €44,000 for the cheapest box version, a good €48,000 for the station
wagon and a good €55,000 for the plug-in, all including VAT.
