2012 Volkswagen Routan SEL Premium Minivan 4D Standard Features
2012 Volkswagen Routan
KBB.com Review
Kbb.com Expert Rating
Chrysler’s family of minivans has attracted a huge block of fans over the years. For those seeking typical minivan attributes but desire a platform more responsive than is typical, VW’s modifications to the Chrysler platform may be just the ticket.
If you’re looking for a van to chill out (or just hang out) in a 1960s kinda’ feel-good way, this isn’t your cup of green tea. The Routan is no better or worse than other badge-engineered devices (Mercury, anyone?), but that’s rarely a reason for investing upward of $30K.
