Does Volkswagen make a minivan?
CHICAGO — Volkswagen is returning to the U.S. minivan market that it pioneered in the 1950s with its flat-nose, rear-engine Transporter (aka Microbus).

Does VW still make the Routan?

What kind of car is the 2009 VW Routan?
The 2009 Volkswagen Routan makes improvements on its Chrysler roots. But with rivals like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna to choose from, we can’t recommend this Germanified creation. Volkswagen has a long history of producing small vans, from the iconic Microbus to the funky Vanagons from the 1980s.
Which is better VW Routan or VW SEL?
VW cites a 0-60 mph time of 10.2 seconds. There’s also a 4.0-liter V-6 that gives you more power and better mileage. But it will cost you. The better acceleration and mileage are nice options to have, but the price of entry is the SEL trim level, which costs almost $9,000 more than the base Routan S.
How many cubic feet does a VW Routan hold?
The third-row bench folds flat into the floor, while the second-row bench or captain’s chairs can be removed for serious hauling duty. VW says the Routan can carry up to 144 cubic feet of cargo — that’s about average for a minivan, which is to say, it’s gigantic.
Where does the VW Routan Van come from?
It’s based tightly on the Chrysler Town & Country (and its Dodge Grand Caravan sibling) and is built on the same production line at Chrysler’s Windsor, Ontario, assembly plant. The product of this union is a van that falls somewhere between its parents in style and demeanor. As a result, I suspect VW devotees will disown this mongrel half-brother.
