The Volkswagen brand is synonymous with campervans, and even after decades of hugely popular campervans produced bearing the iconic VW badge, the brand continues to evolve and innovate. The Volkswagen California is a prime example of this. While the VW California may have been released 30 years ago the range continues to expand and remains a go-to choice for those looking for an approved used campervan.

The Origin of the Volkswagen California

In August 2003, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles launched the VW California with a design based on the Volkswagen Transporter. The Volkswagen California range evolved in 2007 with the introduction of an all-new California Beach model featuring a pop-top bed.The California Campervan offers the perfect combination of attractive exterior and interior comfort. This winning combination makes it the ideal vehicle for either a day trip to the beach or a week-long road trip.

2019 saw the launch of the VW T6.1 California. The all-new California is available in two trim levels; Coast, and the top-of-the-range Ocean. The Beach trim level was discontinued when the all-new VW T6.1 California was launched in 2019. Both of the trim levels feature a range of driver aids, including electrically power-assisted steering (EPAS), six airbags, lane-keeping assist, plus automatic parking, to name just a few. The top of the range Ocean trim now has an electro-hydraulic pop-up roof to replace the manual system which remains in the Coast trim level.

Introducing the Used Volkswagen Grand California Range

2019 saw the launch of the brand-new, and seriously impressive, Volkswagen Grand California based on the VW Crafter. This motor home has an incredible array of features and has everything you would expect from your home-from-home on wheels, plus a whole lot more.

The Volkswagen Grand California is available in a choice of two sizes; 600 or 680. Both models are incredibly spacious inside and even feature a separate wet room. The Grand California comes equipped with a kitchen featuring a twin gas hob, freezer compartment, 70-litre fridge, and sink.The 600 option features a raised roof, which can be used to create an optional additional sleeping space for two, meaning that a total of four people can sleep in the 600 model. The 680 model does not have this feature and comfortably accommodates two people in its spacious interior.

The Grand California features a 2.0-litre TDi turbodiesel engine, with front-wheel drive as standard. However, four-wheel drive is also available as an option.Both the 600 and 680 trim levels feature 17” silver alloys, a Discover Media navigation system, electronically controlled air conditioning, and leather-wrapped heated steering wheels. These features combined with the spacious interior make the VW Grand California a luxury campervan of choice.

Both the used California, and used Grand California offer an excellent choice for anyone looking for a well-thought out approved used VW campervan. We have a selection of approved used Grand California motorhomes and second hand California models available right now.

Choosing the right used California for your camping adventures

Both the California Beach and Ocean have their perks, it really comes down to your preferences and how you like to camp.

In this video we’ll take you through the differences to help you pick.

Volkswagen California Trim Levels Explained

Beach

The entry-level California trim, designed for flexibility and everyday use. It typically comes with a manual pop-up roof, basic sleeping setup (often a fold-out bed), a pull-out awning, and seating for up to seven (depending on configuration). The Beach does not include a built-in kitchen, making it ideal for those who want a camper with space but more simplicity and versatility.

Coast

A mid-range trim that offers the full campervan experience. It includes a pop-up roof with an upper bed, built-in kitchen with gas hob, sink, and fridge, plus front swivel seats and a second fold-out bed in the rear. It's perfect for regular campers who want a balance of features and value.

Ocean

The range-topping California trim, fully equipped for extended camping trips. It includes everything from the Coast but with added premium touches—electric pop-up roof, upgraded materials, programmable auxiliary heater, ambient lighting, climate control, and often a digital cockpit. The Ocean is aimed at those seeking a true home-from-home on wheels.

Engine and Performance

The Volkswagen California delivers a relaxed and capable driving experience, well-suited to both long road trips and everyday use. Most versions are powered by a reliable 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine, offered in a range of outputs to suit different needs. The entry-level options are ideal for steady cruising, while the more powerful variants, like the 150PS and 199PS models, provide plenty of pull when carrying passengers or gear. There’s a choice between a manual gearbox and a smooth-shifting DSG automatic, depending on the model. Many versions are also available with 4MOTION all-wheel drive, which is a real bonus if you’re planning to travel in all weather or venture beyond paved roads. Despite its size, the California feels composed on the road, with well-weighted steering and a quiet cabin that makes long journeys comfortable and enjoyable.
