Volkswagen Eurovan
Volkswagen Eurovan made its debut in the 1992 as a 1993 model as replacement for the rear-drive Volkswagen Vanagon. On its power system is a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine with a capacity of 109 horsepower mated with the standard five-speed manual transmission and optional four-speed automatic gearbox. Camper MV, CL and GL are the trims offered. Standard for all trims is a 115.0-inch wheelbase.
On the interiors of the CL base and midlevel GL is a two-seat center bench and three-place rear bench that can allocate a total of seven passengers. The VW Eurovan MV on the other hand can accommodate the same number of passengers but the difference lies on the features of the seats which include a rear-facing middle bucket seats, swing-up middle table and rear bench that can be made into a bed. The added optional Weekender package gave extra amenities such as refrigerated cooler, curtained windows and integrated double bed.
Several innovations were done for each year model. The company planned to produce a revised version of Volkswagen Eurovan for year 1994 but they fail to materialize their plan due to several hindrances. Instead of revisions, Volkswagen MV Camper units were produced. Stand-out qualities of the said vehicles are increased seating capacity due to the optional two-place middle bench. The versatility of the seats can allow passengers to adjust their positions to avoid discomfort especially during long extended drives. Eating time can be enjoyed inside the car through the built-in kitchen with two-burner LP gas range, stainless steel sink, gas range, cabinets, 12-gallon water tank and refrigerator.
For three consecutive years, from 1996-1999, Volkswagen Eurovan Campers were the only trims in the market. It was in 1999 when Volkswagen Eurovan finally made its enhancements which until now are carried by the latest and newest Volkswagen Eurovan models.
