Volkswagen Multivan Lease Deals
Compare live Volkswagen Multivan lease deals below from an independent, whole of market broker. Up to seven seats on rails, a 4,053 litre maximum load capacity, and petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid power. See the electric ID. Buzz, the California camper, or the rest of the Volkswagen range.
Why Lease the Volkswagen Multivan?
The Multivan is what you choose when a seven seat SUV is not actually big enough. The rear five seats sit on rails, slide the length of the cabin and come out entirely, which means one vehicle can be a seven seater on Monday, a four seater with an enormous load bay on Saturday, and a mobile meeting room in between.
The numbers back it up. 469 litres with every seat in place, up to 1,844 litres with the rear seats taken out, and as much as 4,053 litres of total load capacity on the long wheelbase. It will also tow up to 2,000kg and turn in 12.1 metres, which is tighter than its size suggests.
Petrol, Diesel or Plug-in Hybrid
Three powertrains, all automatic, and the choice is not just about fuel. It also decides which trims and which drivetrain you can have.
- 2.0 TDI 150PS diesel, 360Nm, seven speed DSG, front wheel drive. Offered on both Life and Style, and still the right answer for high mileage work, towing and long motorway runs.
- 2.0 TSI 204PS petrol, 320Nm, seven speed DSG, front wheel drive. Style only. Smoother and quicker than the diesel, and the sensible pick if your mileage is moderate.
- 1.5 TSI eHybrid, an 85kW electric motor with a 1.5 TSI petrol engine for 245PS combined, a 19.7kWh battery and up to 57 miles of electric range. It will take a DC charge at up to 50kW, which is unusual on a plug-in hybrid. Available on Life and Style.
Two things worth checking on the eHybrid before you settle on it. Every eHybrid Multivan is 4MOTION all wheel drive, so unlike the petrol and diesel there is no front wheel drive option, which is a benefit if you need the traction and a cost if you do not. And its maximum towing weight is up to 1,600kg against 2,000kg for the TSI and TDI, so if you pull a caravan or a trailer close to that limit, the diesel is the one to price. For a company car driver who can charge at home, the eHybrid's tax position usually outweighs both points, and rates change each tax year so take the current figures from your accountant.
Standard or Long?
The standard Multivan is 4,973mm long and the long version 5,173mm. Here is the detail most people do not know: on the Multivan the extra 200mm is rear overhang rather than a longer wheelbase. The distance between the axles is the same on both.
That is good news in practice. It means the long version drives and parks much like the standard one and has the same turning circle, while giving you noticeably more space behind the back row. If you are choosing between them, the long body is usually worth the small amount of extra length.
Life or Style
Just two trims, which makes this straightforward. Life is the well equipped starting point and comes with the diesel or the eHybrid. Style adds the comfort and appearance equipment and is the only way to get the 204PS petrol.
Both are available on either body length, so the seat and space decision is independent of the trim decision. If you want the camper version of this vehicle rather than the people carrier, that is the California, which has its own page. Our leasing guides cover term and mileage, car leasing for families is relevant if this is the family vehicle, and business leasing explains the company position.

Volkswagen Multivan Leasing FAQs
Up to seven. The rear five seats sit on rails, slide the length of the cabin and can be removed entirely, so the same vehicle works as a seven seater or as a four seater with a very large load bay.
Yes, the 1.5 TSI eHybrid plug-in hybrid. An 85kW electric motor works with the 1.5 TSI petrol engine for 245PS combined, from a 19.7kWh battery giving up to 57 miles of electric range, and it will take a DC charge at up to 50kW.
No. Every eHybrid Multivan is 4MOTION all wheel drive. The petrol and diesel versions are front wheel drive, so if you specifically want front wheel drive you need one of those.
Up to 2,000kg on the 2.0 TSI petrol and 2.0 TDI diesel. The eHybrid is lower at up to 1,600kg, so if you tow close to the limit the diesel is the version to look at.
The standard is 4,973mm long and the long version 5,173mm, and the extra 200mm is rear overhang rather than a longer wheelbase. The distance between the axles is the same, so the long version drives and parks much like the standard one while giving more room behind the back row.
469 litres with all the rear seats in place, up to 1,844 litres with the rear seats removed, and as much as 4,053 litres of total load capacity on the long wheelbase with the panoramic glass roof.
The Multivan is the people carrier. The California is the camper conversion of the same vehicle, with a bed, kitchen and camping equipment built in. If you want to sleep in it, you want the California.
LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same vehicle.
