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.

60 years in the making  

The movement that began with the Volkswagen campervan. A rolling symbol for independence and freedom now brings you a true home on four wheels in the California 6.1. There is no better way to add to the success of an icon. And no better way to express your attitude to life.

Your home on the road   

Maximise your comfort in a small space. The expanding roof gives you extra room to move around in the passenger compartment. As night falls, you can transform the California camper van into your own comfortable weekend escape.

Camping essentials

Extra impressive

A whole world in the kitchen

Bacon butties, home-cooked steak or a kiwi classic fish and chips: In the California 6.1 your perfect kiwi staples are at your fingertips. The kitchen is equipped with a gas hob with two rings, a stable cover that can be used as a worktop, and a removable washing-up bowl.

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.
