| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Volkswagen Multivan) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Ford Galaxy) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.
