Sleeping
Four people can sleep very soundly in the Volkswagen California. The rail system moves the back seats smoothly and converts into a bed measuring 114 x 200cm. And at the press of a button, the roof pops up to reveal a double bed and mattress on sprung slats. So when the night-time comes, simply relax in the knowledge that you'll be ready for the adventures tomorrow brings.
Equipment
Take one Volkswagen California. Equip it with a two-burner hob, kitchen sink and 42-litre cool box. Mix in two chairs and a table that folds away neatly into the tailgate. Then top it off with an optional awning for some alfresco dining. There you have it. The recipe for a perfect holiday in the great outdoors.
Upholstery
Inside the California there's a choice of comfortable yet hard-wearing seat upholstery that's ready to face your next adventure.
Equipment
As well as an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) that adjusts power to the wheels to help avoid under and over steering, the California also comes with ABS, EDS, ASR, MSR, and hill hold assist as standard.
Paints
The California comes in a range of colours and paint styles. So no matter what you decide to call yours, there'll be a shade to match.
Engine specifications
The California boasts a selection of TDI common rail engines that let you pick the ideal power band for your needs. There are four to choose from, ranging from 84PS through to 180PS. Each engine is quieter and more fuel-efficient than ever before, and all comply with Euro V emission standards.
