Did the best camper just get even better? This is the new California based on the current T7 Multivan. Admittedly it is still a ‘concept’, but if you base the functional stuff off what’s already available in the MPV Multivan, there’s are plenty of options. Engines are likely to be a 148bhp, 2.0-litre diesel that’s probably going to be the most popular choice, but also the option of 1.5 and 2.0-litre petrols and a 1.4-litre, 215bhp plug-in hybrid. The Multivan brings with it a bit more dynamic ability than the Caravelle it replaces, as well as more refinement, a whole host of more advanced driver assistance systems and other gadgets. Still recognisably a California, but based on the newer and more advanced platform, with all the good stuff baked in. There’s no pricing yet, and we’ve not driven it, but this looks like an absolute belter. Given the current pricing of this type of VW product, there’s likely to be a starting price of around £70k and rising from there. But that’s cheap for a house, right?

It’ll probably be priced $100,000. So what’s even the point.
I flecking HATE concept vehicles because they never come to fruition
Where do you poo?
👍yes please
That rear bumper is somewhat overstated and bulbous in an ugly manner. 😢
California vans now come equipped with meth stations built in
Looks great, hate the platform its on though. Multivan T7 is a joke.
We had to return our Multivan plug-in-hybrid as it was riddled with faults! 6 moths of ownership and it had to go back 4 times, software faults ever time you got in it, error messages on the dash making you wonder if you would make it to your destination and simple fundamental things like the seat folding mechanisms broke on 2 of the rear seats after a handful of uses!!
The whole thing was just poorly implemented and we felt like test subjects for a product that wasn’t ready in the first place while they “ironed out the issues” 3 months we waited for a software update and it still didn’t solve the error messages and faults!
Wow, this guy’s annoying.
As an ex-native Californian this van almost reminds me of the VW vans my friends created back in the 60’s and 70’s…except the great craftsmanship of our local Latino community could teach VW how to do it for a percentage of the proposed BLOATED MSRP! Back then camping was for anyone, not just those with bottomless bank accounts…70k!!! Really???? And, that expensive van, really isn’t a house, it’s an albatross when something breaks! Good review though.
Its so insulting that this van is called the California and its not available in the US. Screw VW. Mercedes makes a better van anyways.
Coming to a neighborhood near you!
Why cant we get this IN the USA?? I want!!
what kinda shoes are those? i want them.
It should connect better with existing campground situations, which provide space for a stove, picnic table, etc. Sleep up top, change clothes or entertain below, and have a shower curtain.
Does a gas powered generator come with it as I don’t see many charging stations in camp grounds!
Californias always have been a Swiss Army knife on wheels. Great vans
Hahhh I owned a couple of VW campers Albeit 30 and 40 years ago .
They were Really Shitty vehicles to own and drive.. being their long term overriding memory impressions.
Yess they did provide a place to sleep without the nuisance of carrying Camping gear on your back.
For that one paid the price of a Slooooow barely able to climb grade vehicle that was Frightening in cross Breezes and passing truck wakes.
Later versions were Usuriously Overpriced.. a Foolish purchase… which effectively killed the things.
Seemingly, VW (which is rapidly running out of Customers imo) is seemingly flailing about… looking into past sales types…for something to sell.
Amazing videography! Definetely one of the rarest review ever with one of the most interesting campers nowadays!
You need to bring this over to the States 🤣
