Update for the iconic camper van: Volkswagen offers a first look ahead at the new California 6.1

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles presents the first sketches and information on the new #California61. The update for the #camper #van covers many aspects: the interior of the #camper #van has been enhanced; the multifunctional #camper control unit in the roof console has been redesigned and digitalised, new assistance systems enhance safety and comfort; a new generation of infotainment with integrated eSIM opens up the world of mobile online services, and digital instruments are available for the first time (“Digital Cockpit”). Striking: the completely redesigned front end of the #California61.

More than 18,000 Californias are sold per year (2018), making it the number 1 #camper #van. Both a #camper and a #van – ideal for big trips and daily journeys. An all-rounder. Now #volkswagencommercialvehicles has further refined the top seller. The living and sleeping areas of the #camper #van have been carefully enhanced and optimised. Furthermore, the driver and front passenger sit in front of a redesigned dashboard including new instruments (analogue or as an option digital for the first time) and new online infotainment systems.

Like the Multivan 6.1 presented in spring, from now on the new #California61 features electromechanical power steering. #volkswagencommercialvehicles is giving the #camper numerous new assistance systems, for example “Lane Assist”, Side Protection and “Trailer Assist”, which makes manoeuvring with a trailer child’s play. In addition, a side-wind compensation system makes travelling in the #California61 even safer.

The new #California T6.1 will be launched with highly efficient 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines1 with output of up to 146 kW /199 PS. The new #camper generation will celebrate its world premiere at the end of August at the Caravan-Salon in Düsseldorf.
