The model made its first appearance as a ‘design study’ at the 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show.


The production model is described as “unique, with variable interior and a young, fresh design” but it looks like just another European people and luggage hauling MPV/minivan to us.


A new Varioflex rear seat design is said to offer an easy method of re-arranging the passenger and carrying space.


Six VW Group petrol and diesel engines will be offered with manual or automatic gearboxes.


The Roomster will be manufactured at the company’s Kvasiny plant and will be launched in European markets from next summer.


First public appearance is at the Geneva show in February.
