Summary:
The Volkswagen Transporter T5 range is the fifth generation of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' Transporter series of medium-sized light commercial vehicles and the people mover Caravelle/Multivan range. Introduced on October 6, 2002, and fully produced starting April 25, 2003, the T5 replaced the fourth generation T4 Transporter. Key markets for the T5 range include Germany, the UK, Taiwan, Russia, France, Turkey, and Singapore. Notably, the T5 was not available in the US and Canada due to the underperformance of the T4-based Volkswagen EuroVan. Instead, Volkswagen offered the Routan, a minivan based on the Chrysler RT platform, in these markets.
