I'm sorry to say that I'm with you on this one. I've been so excited about seeing the T6 Beach and the interior is just full of compromises.

It may be the dark colour camoflaging the changes but if VW were after a gradual step change in design they have certainly acheived it. Apart from the dash I struggled to spot the differences!

Leemac74 · Oct 31, 2015

It's probably a grower, I agree and think aesthetically the "all new" T6 body and interior trim changes don't really do much to Inspire a purchase, I really do prefer the T5.

However I think with a new model the main gains are always technology, infotainment system will no doubt be good and the Euro 6 engine plus the way the cali will drive.

Yes, you are probably right. I think that it would be easy to pass it by in the street without realising it was a T6. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing as I really like the look of the T5 and as far as I am concerned, if aint broke, don't fix it!

As for the technology and Euro 6 engines, if they have improved on the current T5 offerings, which IMO are already great, then that can only be good. As we have only had our new T5 a month we are going to have to wait for a long time before we can find out.

Not sure if the dash looks a bit bland - wanted to order the Premium upgrade but couldn't, as I'd prefer the lockable top glove box. That said, can see the kids scratching a lovely piano black style dash with their grubby feet - no respect!

Agree about the dash, looks a bit '80's to me. The infotainment centre looks a bit small ....

Maybe the "Ocean" has a lid on the glovebox? Or maybe it's been "lost at sea"?
