"This is what the prototype of the new Caravelle looks like. For the time being, it goes by the name T5, and the car will most probably be available in several different versions, like Multivan, minibus, transporter, pick-up and some purpose built variants. One can not see that the Passat has been an inspirational source, but the T5 will have a newly developed chassis, as well as front wheel drive. It will be equipped with accessories like ABS brakes, front and side airbags, and newly developed airbags for the feet. In the engine compartment, VW most probably will not do anything, and keep today's engine lineup, with the TDIs as the strong sellers. Scheduled presentation will be at the IAA Van&truck exhibition in Hannover, year 2000."
