Volkswagen California

It is the first campervan designed and built in-house by VWCV Special Business Unit, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

[6] California Beach now has the option of the elevating "pop top" aluminium roof, with bed space of 120x200cm in Germany.

Notable changes to the later models include a re-styled grille as well as re-designed headlamps and wing mirrors.

The California Ocean comes with an electro-hydraulically elevating aluminium roof with bed space of 200x120cm.

The rear seating in the California Ocean can be arranged to make lower level double bed measuring 200x116cm.

The Coast and Beach comes with a manual elevating aluminium roof held up on gas struts with the bed being the exact same measurement.

The 4 seater is exact the same but the third seat is replaced with two big chest cupboards (This was made standard on the T6.1 but wasn’t widely available on the T6).

In the Coast and Ocean models the kitchen comprises a sink, a two burner gas cooktop powered by a 2.8 kg gas cylinder, a 42-litre compressor fridge, two kitchen storage cupboards with drawers integrated in the design are also standard.

[8] Whereas, in the T6.1 Beach Camper model there is a pull out cooker which has a single burner hob and a small preparation zone.

Unlike the standard California this van has a built in bathroom which contains a toilet with a disposable tank, a sink which doubles up as the shower, two sided mirror which opens up to create cupboard space and hooks for towels.

At the front, the van has two captains chairs and a double bench seat with a dining table to make a living room, a kitchen with two burner hob, sink, pull out fridge drawer, storage cupboards two pull out extra preparation desk including a fold down panel for the outside where two USB ports and a socket are housed for outdoor use.

The Caddy comes as either a short wheel base (SWB) or Maxi (LWB) with seats for five belted passengers.

A bed frame and mattress is stowed behind the second row, serving as a rear package shelf when folded.

To transform the van for sleeping, the rear bench and front seats are folded forward, then the bed frame and mattress is unfurled and pulled over the rear seat, where it is clamped down to form a double bed which measures 198 cm × 107 cm (78 in × 42 in).

[9] As an option, a free-standing tent can be ordered which attaches to the boot and provides sleeping space for another two people.

The ID Buzz California will only come as a long wheel base (LWB), vehicle.
