A sudden desire to disconnect and flee the city? Volkswagen has the solution with its California camper van.
The Volkswagen California is presented as the ideal van for anyone with reasonable adventure cravings. Able to accommodate 4 to 5 people with its 4 beds and equipped kitchen, it offers all the comfort necessary for a getaway in complete freedom. Sleep under a starry sky. Be awakened by the sound of waves in the morning. Discover other countries while feeling at home. Admit it, it’s tempting!
The California is available in five versions with sweet names: Beach, Beach Tour, Beach Camper (with a mini-kitchenette in the back), Coast, and Ocean (the last two equipped with a kitchenette on the driver’s side). All versions feature a pop-up roof with a window and opening at the front, as well as two side windows with included mosquito nets. An awning is offered as an option on both sides to protect occupants from rain or sun rays.
Adventure is adventure!
The new California code 6.1 is based on the modular MQB platform, that of the long-wheelbase Multivan. It measures 5,173 mm in length and 1,941 mm in width. With the roof tent retracted, it stands only 1,990 mm tall, allowing access to most tunnels and parking garages. Its wheelbase of 3,124 mm offers a spacious interior with a headroom of 1,297 mm, which increases to 2,108 mm when the roof is opened. The pleasant surprise is the introduction of a new plug-in hybrid engine producing 180 kW (245 hp). This plug-in hybrid engine is paired with all-wheel drive. With a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 kg, there is no problem heading out on an adventure with a trailer or even a boat.
Now available in France starting at 73,700 euros, the invitation to freedom comes at a certain cost. To ease the burden, Volkswagen has set up a rental offer with an option to purchase for a California 6.1 Coast 2.0 TDI 150 hp BVM over 37 months and 90,000 km. After an initial payment of 5,244 euros, the 36 monthly payments of 530 euros will leave you with some spare cash for leisure activities.
