So, you’re an adventurer and you like the new Volkswagen T7 Multivan but you don’t want to use it as people-mover in the city, how boring. Instead, you want to modify it so that you can conquer the wild. What are your options?
Well, at this point, there aren’t any aftermarket conversions available for the new T7 right now but German 4×4 specialist, Delta 4×4, has imagined the new T7 as a go-anywhere adventure bus and we think it’s cool. The images you see here are computer-generated images but they show the potential of what’s possible.
Starting from the outside, this rugged T7 Multivan is fitted with 18-inch beadlock wheels shod with Loder all-terrain rubber while the protruding wheel arch guards and stainless steel bull bar with integrated PIAA lights add some more ruggedness to the overall look.
The vehicle is also equipped with a useful roof rack to cargo your cargo and mounted LED lights provide additional illumination at night.
In terms of improving the vehicle’s go-anywhere ability, the ride height has been raised by 40 mm with the fitment of Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs.
This T7 eHybrid combines a 1.4-litre turbopetrol engine with an electric motor to produce a total output of 160 kW and makes use of a 13 kWh battery mounted low in the floor. The T7 can also be had in ICE form with either a 100 kW 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine or a 150 kW 2.0-litre turbopetrol. A diesel engine will join the range later and a 7-speed DSG transmission is fitted across the range.
The availability of the T7 Multivan in South Africa has yet to be confirmed.
