UK adventurers can now place orders for the latest generation of Volkswagen’s iconic California campervan. Priced from £54,065 (excluding VAT), the new model is set to arrive with customers in early 2027, perfectly timed for the start of next summer’s touring season.
The Volkswagen California has long been a symbol of freedom and adventure, giving travellers the opportunity to explore in both comfort and style. Whether it’s a family holiday, a romantic escape, or a solo journey, there’s a California model designed to suit every lifestyle and adventure.
The designers have restyled the front end of the California below the bonnet. The LED headlights are a defining visual feature. They are now larger, giving the characteristic VW Bus face an even sharper appearance.
The campervan has been updated with power latching sliding doors and tailgate, alongside new alloy wheel designs, ranging from 17- to 19-inch.
Inside, the cockpit has been redesigned, now featuring a 12.9-inch infotainment system. This acts as a central hub for everything from navigation, media, smartphone integration, to camping monitoring functions. Along with the 10-inch driver’s digital cockpit, the new California offers a sophisticated control centre for your home away from home, with everything you need for long journeys and cosy evenings.
Specific to the California eHybrid 4MOTION, a new electric stationary air conditioning system allows the campervan to be electrically cooled, ventilated and heated for up to eight hours while charging, parked or camping, ideal for sleeping in comfort whatever the weather.
The interior benefits from updated, high-quality materials for a premium finish and enhanced comfort. This includes California-bespoke fabric and colour scheme with improved smartphone charging capacity (25 W wireless or 60 W USB-C), and new ambient lighting.
New colour variations join the line-up, bringing the total number of options to 19 across solid, two-tone and metallic paint, in addition to an optional black roof. The new options include: Grenadilla Black, Grey Brown, Reed Green, and Sunset Red (all metallic), as well as the two-tone choices Candy White / Grey Brown and Grenadilla Black / Sunset Red.
