MID-SPEC VAN GETS THINGS COOKING AND OFFERS COMFORT AND CLASS IN SPADES
-
THE Volkswagen California is one of the best-known when it comes to camper vans, but it’s become more premium and feature-packed.
This latest has more creature comforts than ever, but does this dilute the experience?
WHAT'S NEW?
The previous model shared its underpinnings with those of the hardy Transporter panel van but this has more in common with a Multivan.
The idea is the California should offer a more car-like drive with improved refinement and handling. That's the theory, anyway.
WHAT'S UNDER THE BONNET?
Our California comes with a familiar set-up. There’s a 2.0-litre turbo-charged diesel engine linked to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox, sending a modest 148bhp to the front wheels. Zero to 60mph will take just over 12 seconds but you've got 360Nm of torque to help maintain acceleration.
