Limitless freedom on four wheels

Freedom has transformed over the years, from the peace-loving 60s and 70s to today. Back then, we built the world’s most iconic camper—the Kombi. Now we have your modern-day answer for freedom—the California. You will feel right at home while exploring what our Kiwi backyard has to offer. Wherever you’re heading, the California campervan will transform your trip into an unforgettable adventure to remember.

Always there for you

Be prepared for almost anything with the safety systems in the California. The driving systems can safely intervene, helping to reduce the risk of accidents on the road.

Newly launched and standard across the T6.1 range, Driver Steering Recommendation gives the driver suggested inputs to help stabilise the vehicle. The system also intervenes using gentle adjustments if it recognises oversteer when cornering.

I wish The Volkswagen California Ocean was still sitting on my driveway.
Anna Sarjeant
The New Zealand Herald

I wish The Volkswagen California Ocean was still sitting on my driveway, prepped and ready for another weekend adventure. The entire holiday was effortless, notably because this is a vehicle that leaves you wanting for nothing.

The freedom we experienced was exactly what I craved back in 2021. Even with a toddler in tow, it was easy, enjoyable and stress-free. You couldn’t ask for more from a holiday.

The California is such a capable campervan and a fantastic way to get away.
Dean Evans
Driven Car Guide

It all adds up to make the VW California not just a super campervan, but one that drives and rides and performs like a van, which lately, drive like SUVs.

Add in the economy and range of the 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine, grip from the 4Motion all-wheel drive, and the range, and the California starts to show why it's such a capable Campervan and a fantastic way to get away, for a few months or just one night in Taupō.
