This is the latest California, based on the underpinnings of the Multivan. Volkswagen says it will be more practical than its predecessor, featuring more technology and is available as a plug-in hybrid.
When the order books to the new California open in June, five versions will be available: Beach, Beach Tour, Beach Camper, Coast and Ocean. The first three versions have a mini kitchen in the rear, making them ideal for day trips or those who might only spend one or two nights away. The Coast and Ocean versions of the California gain a full kitchenette while still maintaining improved access with sliding doors on each side - those are included regardless of model.
