The Iconic Road Trip Machine

The VW Caravelle T6.1 is the definitive vehicle for group expeditions in Iceland. Building on decades of heritage, this latest generation combines legendary reliability with modern driving dynamics. Its boxy, purposeful design maximizes interior volume, while the updated electromechanical power steering ensures it handles surprisingly like a regular car on the winding Ring Road sections.

Thanks to its vertical sides and square rear design, the Caravelle offers unbeatable luggage efficiency. You can stack suitcases floor-to-ceiling without wasting an inch of space. The massive tailgate acts as a convenient shelter from the rain while loading, and the low loading sill makes lifting heavy equipment or camping gear effortless.

The VW Caravelle T6.1 comfortably accommodates 9 passengers and 9 medium suitcases. It is the gold standard for reliable touring on paved roads (Not suitable for difficult F-roads).
