Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has introduced in the United Kingdom a new version of the Multivan Camper developed specifically as a base vehicle for professional converters.
Launched on February 16, 2026, the model enters the market as a “blank canvas” ready to receive bespoke campervan projects.

Built on the long wheelbase (LWB) version of the Multivan, the new Camper is offered with two powertrain options and is already available to order.
Powertrains and pricing
The base model can be configured with:
- 2.0 TDI 150 PS DSG – from £43,900 (excl. VAT) / £52,680 (incl. VAT)
- 2.0 eHybrid 240 PS DSG 4Motion – from £50,725 (excl. VAT) / £60,870 (incl. VAT)
The plug-in hybrid version with 4Motion all-wheel drive broadens the range of applications, particularly for customers seeking greater versatility for long-distance travel or varied terrain.
Structure designed for conversion
The Multivan Camper has been conceived to reduce waste and simplify the work of converters. The vehicle leaves the factory with:
- Manual pop-up roof installed
- Interior roof lining already fitted
- Fully empty rear compartment
- No floor covering
- No rear seats
- Two swivel front seats
- Dual sliding side doors
- Tailgate
This configuration eliminates the need to remove unnecessary components, reducing both costs and conversion time.
Interior space and capacity
Retaining the dimensions of the Multivan LWB, the Camper offers 4,053 litres of capacity behind the two front seats. Internal measurements are:
- Length: 2,625 mm
- Width: 1,665 mm
- Height: 1,312 mm
The volume and internal geometry create a suitable environment for different layouts — from compact weekend escape configurations to more comprehensive builds for extended travel.
Factory customization
Even before conversion, optional equipment can be specified to align the vehicle more closely with the desired final result. Available options include:
- Three-zone Climatronic air conditioning
- Heated front seats
- Navigation system
- Alloy wheels
This approach allows converters to begin projects with a base more closely aligned to the end customer’s profile.
Homologation
The Multivan Camper is supplied with incomplete M1 homologation, requiring conversion and a second stage of type approval for final registration. It is therefore a product intended exclusively for the professional conversion market.
With this strategy, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles expands its presence in the campervan segment, offering an official and standardized platform for specialist companies to develop tailor-made solutions — whether for leisure, tourism, or adventure mobility.
