2026 model *4 berth Volkswagen campervan

Room 1 is the outdoor area to the right of the vehicle. At the campsite, it becomes an open tent thanks to an awning. Room 2 is the interior behind the front seats, which can be swivelled through 180 degrees. Unlike before, the new VW California has lightweight, removable and very comfortable individual seats. This also makes it easier to transport boards and bikes in the interior. The seating area can be converted very quickly into a face-to-face seating arrangement for eating or playing together. As the vehicle has an electric parking brake instead of a manual one, the passage between the driver and front passenger seats towards the rear is much easier to use. The rear bench seat has also been replaced by variable individual seats, which can be folded down flat from the ‘Beach Tour’ model onwards and can be used as an additional lying surface with a folding mattress on top. Room 3 of the new VW California is the new outside area to the left of the vehicle, which is accessed via the additional sliding door on the driver's side.

The kitchen unit (from the ‘New California Coast’ model upwards) has been completely redesigned: One of the differences to its predecessor is that the kitchen unit with cupboards, sink and gas hob offers a similar amount of space as its predecessor thanks to the vehicle's greater length, but does not protrude as far forwards. This has several advantages: there is more space for getting in and out through the sliding door on the left, and taller drivers have more room to manoeuvre when adjusting the seat. The driver's seat, which can now also be adjusted in height, can be rotated through 180 degrees and there is space for the refrigerator, which can be opened forwards as a drawer, as in the Grand California.

The kitchen unit, including the sink, movable induction hob and refrigerator, can now also be accessed from outside, so that cooking and eating can be moved completely outside in good weather. In addition to the 230 V induction hob, there is also an integrated gas hob. A 230 V socket on the outside of the kitchen and an outdoor folding table make life on the pitch easier. The kitchen drawers are also accessible from both the outside and the inside. A special feature is the compact grill, which can be stored in the kitchen block and easily removed from the outside. The fridge can also be accessed from inside and outside.

Another advantage is the second sliding door for right-hand drive countries, where you can now also get in and out of the VW California from the safe side of the pavement. In everyday life, the second sliding door offers further entry and exit and additional loading options. An awning can now be ordered for either the left or right side to shield from rain or sun. An additional awning is available for the other side.
