Adventure awaits: the all-new California

A new interior concept with enhanced functionality: the all-new California is a campervan designed for every adventure, while also offering plenty of practical features for daily use. The all-new California continues the Volkswagen campervan legacy.

3-room concept

The all-new California comes with two sliding side doors as standard, making the campervan more flexible for everyday life. The sliding door on the driver's side ensures comfortable and easy entry and exit. The second sliding door, on the passenger side, together with the completely redesigned kitchen and an external folding table, enables greater versatility for cooking and outdoor eating. The kitchen available on Coast and Ocean trims has a gas hob and sink, located directly by the sliding door. The cool box is accessible from the inside and outside, and is protected from the weather with the optional awning. With this second sliding door as standard, the all-new California offers a three-zone concept for camp sites.

Highly flexible seating

More spacious camping is a given in the all-new California. Instead of a manual handbrake, the electric parking brake allows for extra space between the driver's and front passenger's seats (both adjustable in height, and up to 180 degree rotation). There is plenty of space behind the driver's seat, and the two movable and removable individual seats in the rear passenger compartment provide more space for long objects, such as surfboards. They also offer additional flexibility and greater comfort, thanks to the sleeping function and integrated drawers.

Smart camping

Digital features and intelligent assistance systems make practicality standard in the all-new California. Climate control in the passenger area, interior heating via the auxiliary heater, ambient light control (all around roof lining) and many other functions are all easily accessible via three touchpoints: the California app, infotainment display, and the new camper control unit integrated in the C-pillar with 12.7 cm (5-inch) portrait touch display.

Experience more freedom in everyday life

The all-new California not only sets new standards when it comes to camping; it also offers smart innovations for everyday life. The sliding doors on the driver's and passenger's side not only provide a safer entry and exit, but also make everyday life easier. Having to walk around the car with your shopping? Not anymore. Loading the cool box from the outside? No problem. Lighter, individual seats in the rear passenger compartment can quickly and easily be moved or removed to accommodate larger items – especially useful for those looking to quickly switch from mobile office mode to leisure.
