Now featuring two sliding side doors as standard, enhancing practicality and flexibility. The driver’s side door allows easy access, while the passenger side pairs with a redesigned kitchen and folding table for versatile outdoor cooking.

Practical and iconic with the pop-up roof bed. Enjoy a whole night's sleep in serenity whilst on your adventure. You can control the pop-up roof manually in the California Beach Camper or electronically in the Coast and Ocean. 

More spacious camping, as a result of the shift to an electric parking brake freeing up room between the height-adjustable, rotating front seats. Behind the driver’s seat, there’s ample space, while two movable and removable rear seats add flexibility, comfort, and storage with integrated drawers and a sleeping function. Ideal for carrying long items like surfboards.

The Beach Camper features a practical kitchenette with a gas hob at the rear, which provides excellent protection from the elements while cooking under the open tailgate. Meanwhile, the California Coast and California Ocean stand out with their newly designed summer kitchen, complete with a gas hob, sink, and cool box. The cool box is accessible both from inside and outside and shielded from the weather by the standard awning.

The interior is carefully crafted to maximise practical, usable areas. The folding table creates a perfect dining space or even a working area for remote working on the go. The rotating front seats also help personalise the living area to your needs.

Packed with smart digital features and assistance systems for everyday ease. Key functions like climate control, auxiliary heating, and ambient lighting are accessible via the California app, infotainment display, or a new 5-inch camper control unit in the C-pillar.

All California models are equipped with a leather multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters. Control radio, nav, phone and more without having to take your hands off the steering wheel. For the ultimate experience, opt for the heated steering wheel (available as standard on the Ocean trim).

The roads can be daunting, but that’s a thing of the past with the new VW assistance systems, making driving a stress-free experience. The new California features Front assist with emergency braking, Traffic sign recognition, Lane Assist, and more.

The new camper control panel allows you to control the campervan at your fingertips. Navigate features such as air conditioning, auxiliary heating and more.

Equipped as standard, this high tech infotainment system contains everything and more you could need at a glance. Updates to this model include higher image refresh rates, increased brightness and sharper images.

Parking has never been easier than with the new Volkswagen California. Front and rear parking aids are standard on all California models or utilise the Park Assist feature, which aids positioning into parking spaces by taking care of the steering for you (included on Coast and Ocean models).

Connectivity like never before with Volkswagen. Get connected live access to real-time traffic info, media streaming and internet radio, online anti-theft alarm, breakdown calls, parking position, speed alerts, and more.

Vehicles can communicate with each other to alert drivers of local warnings or potential hazards on the road.
