The Volkwagen EuroVans that appeared in showrooms in 2002 were essentially the same models that had been sold the previous year, with the same 201-horsepower, 2.8-liter V6 engine, and a four-speed automatic transmission, which was standard. About the only real changes were a few new exterior colors, a new stability control system, and an upgraded basic warranty (to four years/50,000 miles).

Two versions were available. The EuroVan GLS came with air conditioning, power windows, power heated mirrors, automatic climate control, cruise control, anti-lock brakes, and an anti-theft alarm system.

The MV added a rear bench that converted into a bed and rearward-facing bucket seats in the middle row. The MV could also be outfitted to resemble the old Campmobile, with a refrigerator, bed, and pop-up roof.

The EuroVan's higher driving position, functional options, roominess, handling, and power upgrade all received positive comments from drivers. However, some noted that their EuroVans tended to spend a lot of time in the shop, resulting in expensive repairs.
