Is a T6 bigger than a T5?
Since the Volkswagen T6 is based on the same platform as the T5, all exterior and interior dimensions are the same.
What's the difference between VW T5 and T6?
The main difference between the Volkswagen T5 and T6 are design features, such as cosmetic upgrades to the body trim, front design, and rear doors, as well as interior design features, such as the dashboard layout. They also come with cleaner engines.
The T6 uses the same gearboxes as the T5, and initially came with very similar engines as well.
