We are finally at the point where our 2011 T5 will get replaced with a T6.1. Ive been holding out until this new one was announced as it definitely fixes a few small (but important) niggles. So having used the online builder to choose options, it’s clear VW are still learning what people want... as many options are not yet published/priced/officially available.
Thought it’d be worth building a discussion on options that folk have established are/are not available.
1) interior seems to be only listing graphite grey currently. Not ideal as it makes for a dark and dull cab. I’m hoping the new option of ‘soaped oak’ becomes available.
2) sill side bars (outside bump rails along the sills between the wheels) as I’ve currently got on my T5 don’t yet seem to be available.
3) clarity on what colour roof bellows are available with each body colour option and how these differ in material and waterproofness compared to the T5 khaki canvas. (Ie. Whilst They list grey, blue and red. some colours I believe won’t be available with certain body colours)
4) gearbox options with 4 Motion. Whilst we’d hope for a 4motion with diff lock and manual box (as we currently have), I’m guessing they’ll only ship with auto. Awaiting official confirmation.
5) interior leather(ish) seats. Seems there are a leather type seat available. Dealers havnt got clarity on finish and ease of cleaning. The cloth seats we currently have get dirty too easily and hard to clean effectively (need to use a carpet cleaner). So we are looking for clarity on ability to wipe clean these new seat options.
6) flooring. They make a big deal about hard wood effect flooring (our worse nightmare, as it is cold and noisy to use. Plus horrid in bare feet. The layer of sand/grit/water simply sits on top. Requires constant cleaning.
So I’ve asked what carpet options are available. Carpet is perfect as it holds the dirt still for days, feels nice under foot at all times, and a simple brush up or vacuum when you have power available.
I have my local guy at Wooburn Green looking into these options for me.
Anyone else looking for other unlisted options?
