Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles New Zealand (VWCVNZ) will launch its first electrified offering, the T7-series Multivan plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in May.
The Family variant of the T7 Multivan PHEV will be priced from $78,800 plus on road costs which will qualify it for a rebate under the government’s Clean Car Discount scheme.
VWCVNZ general manager Kevin Richards says the new T7 Multivan pays homage to the DNA of its Kombi predecessor while providing an electric solution to suit Kiwi families.
“This iteration’s high-tech features and flexibility gives busy families solutions to today’s rapidly changing transport needs,” Richards says.
With up to seven seats, the Multivan PHEV assumes the key role of the all-rounder. Designed above all for families and active people, its completely new seating and cargo space system accommodates countless scenarios says VWCVNZ.
This seventh generation is the most progressive Multivan yet, launching with a Plug-in- Hybrid solution that can deliver lower emissions while still providing the range assurance needed to tackle long journeys.
The PHEV technology provides travel for distances up to 42km* on pure electric, making the majority of school drop-offs and work commutes environmentally guilt-free too.
More details, specs and model information will follow in May, but given pre-sale demand, VWCVNZ is recommending customers register their interest now.
