What’s the difference between the VW T6 and the VW T6.1?

The VW T6.1 is an updated version of the VW T6, and the differences between them are small enough that Volkswagen dubbed the updated Transporter the T6.1 rather than giving it an entirely new name. It’s not uncommon to see both the original T6 and the updated T6.1 referred to as T6s, unless a model-specific feature or trait is being referred to, which is why we generally use the term T6 when talking about insurance for either the T6 or T6.1.

VW T6 – built from 2015 to 2019
• Broader headlights
• A large and a small radiator grille
• Slightly shorter front nose
• Hydraulic power steering
• Traditional dash board with USB connections

VW T6.1 – built from 2019 to 2024
• Slimmer headlights
• One large radiator grille
• Slightly longer front nose
• Electromechanical power steering
• Digital dash board with USB-C connections

The most obvious difference between the two is the front end, with the T6.1 having a slightly longer ‘nose’ with one large radiator grille and slimmer headlights compared to the T6, which allows for the updates to the T6.1’s steering and safety features.

Volkswagen didn’t totally re-design their Transporter when they launched the VW T6.1, but they did make a number of relatively small changes which can add up to a pretty different driving experience.

With many of the changes being aesthetic, some VW T6s built before 2019 have been given a retrofit ‘face lift’ to give them the same style of front grille and headlights as the later T6.1s, which may make differentiating between the two more difficult.

Fortunately, there’s no difference in the cost of insuring a VW T6 compared to a VW T6.1, so you’ll still get prices starting from just £290 per year, regardless of which model you’ve got.

We offer the best deals on the VW T6, including:

Does the VW T6 make a good campervan?

Yes, the VW T6 and the VW T6.1 are seen as great base vehicles for transforming a van into a camper, if the base vehicle is within your budget.

While the T6 isn’t available with the same range of wheelbase lengths and roof heights as some other vehicles, it’s a really reliable vehicle with plenty of room in the cargo area at the rear for you to create your own campervan interior with additional windows, space for a kitchen area, rear seats which fold out into a bed, and more.

The VW T6 is popular with professional converters, who will transform a simple van into a campervan with a whole range of specifications, as well as people who create their own self-built campervan with a T6 as the base.

Its combination of modern safety features, easy drivability, and Volkswagen’s reputation for building reliable, high quality vehicles means that a lot of T6s are transformed into campers, and their owners often rave about how well they perform.

Whether your T6 is a camper or just an empty van, you’ll get a great deal on specialist vehicle cover here at Just Kampers Insurance. Give our friendly team of experts a call on 01256 44 45 46, or get a quote online, to see how much you could save on insuring your VW T6.

What are the dimensions of the VW T6?

The VW T6 Transporter is available in a few different sizes, with two different wheelbase lengths and three different roof heights giving the possibility of five distinct size options (but not six, since the high roof option is not available on short wheelbase T6s).

Each of these options will have a different volume of space in the rear cargo area, with smaller vehicles offering less space in the back, but generally being slightly cheaper and easier to drive and park.

Short Wheelbase (SWB), Low Roof VW T6:
Total length: 4,904mm (193.1 inches)
Wheelbase: 3,000mm (118.1 inches)
Total width: 2,297mm (90.4 inches)
Width without mirrors: 1,904mm (75 inches)
Low roof height: 1,990mm (78.3 inches)
Cargo area volume: 5.8 m3 (200 cu ft.)

Short Wheelbase (SWB), Medium Roof VW T6:
Total length: 4,904mm (193.1 inches)
Wheelbase: 3,000mm (118.1 inches)
Total width: 2,297mm (90.4 inches)
Width without mirrors: 1,904mm (75 inches)
Medium roof height: 2,176mm (85.7 inches)
Cargo area volume: 6.7 m3 (240 cu ft.)

Long Wheelbase (LWB), Low Roof VW T6:
Total length: 5,304mm (208.8 inches)
Wheelbase: 3,400mm (133.9 inches)
Total width: 2,297mm (90.4 inches)
Width without mirrors: 1,904mm (75 inches)
Low roof height: 1,990mm (78.3 inches)
Cargo area volume: 6.7 m3 (240 cu ft.)

Long Wheelbase (LWB), Medium Roof VW T6: 
Total length: 5,304mm (208.8 inches)
Wheelbase: 3,400mm (133.9 inches)
Total width: 2,297mm (90.4 inches)
Width without mirrors: 1,904mm (75 inches)
Medium roof height: 2,176mm (85.7 inches)
Cargo area volume: 7.8 m3 (280 cu ft.)

Long Wheelbase (LWB), High Roof VW T6:
Total length: 5,304mm (208.8 inches)
Wheelbase: 3,400mm (133.9 inches)
Total width: 2,297mm (90.4 inches)
Width without mirrors: 1,904mm (75 inches)
High roof height: 2,477mm (97.5 inches)
Cargo area volume: 9.3 m3 (330 cu ft.)

As you can see from the above, there are a few different choices when shopping for a VW T6, depending on what you’re intending to use it for, how often, and where. A long wheelbase, high roof model will give you a lot of room inside to transform into your dream camper, but will likely be more difficult to drive and park!

Why do I need an Agreed Value from Just Kampers Insurance?

Many owners of VW T6s choose to opt for an Agreed Value policy in order to further protect the financial investments they have made to their van or camper. Such a policy ensures that you will receive a full and fair pay out in the event that your vehicle is involved in an irrecoverable incident, rather than one that reflects the market value of your vehicle at that time.

Do you offer free legal protection?

Yes, all of our insurance policies come with legal protection included. This offers you extra protection should you be involved in an incident in the UK or Europe that was not your fault. Cover includes:

  • Up to £100,000 for vehicle repairs, hire costs, and legal expenses
  • Help in claiming for compensation due to injuries incurred by yourself or your passengers
  • Legal assistance when pursuing claims not covered by your original insurance
  • Access to helplines
