This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Chrysler Pacifica) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

| Ground clearance: | 193 mm (7.6 inches) | 131 mm (5.2 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Volkswagen Multivan can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Volkswagen Multivan version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from three 4x4 versions of Volkswagen Multivan 2015 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
