Hannover, 24 July 2018 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its camping icon with the special "California 30 Years" model. The anniversary vehicle is limited to a run of 999 and can be ordered from 2 August 2018.
In between trips the California is a versatile van. At weekends and on
holidays, meanwhile, it transforms itself into an adventure-mobile with pop-up
roof. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has taken this configuration of everyday
vehicle and camper van and remixed and refined it for the anniversary. The
California 30 Years follows in the tradition of earlier special models such as
the California Freestyle (2002), California NoLimit (2007) and California
Generation (2013), which have all long since become cherished collectors' items
of lasting value. The California 30 Years has the same potential. Each of the
999 produced will carry on its exterior two bespoke badges, imprinted on which
will be the production serial number.
Externally the California 30 Years features a pop-up roof in the contrasting colours of “Metallic Reflex Silver” or “Metallic Indium Grey”. The wing mirror housing is in the same shade. The B-pillars are in gloss black. The additional features (compared to the California Coast) also include high-sheen 17-inch “Cascavel” alloy wheels in “Silver” or “Anthracite”.
On the inside the limited edition is individualised by the new “Bright Wood” décor for the kitchen units and cupboards. Standard features include the “Camper” interior lighting concept with LED lamps in the pop-up roof, tailgate and kitchen units. Integrated in the rear of the vehicle, meanwhile, is a connection for an outside shower. Auxiliary heating, fitted as standard, makes camping in spring and autumn more comfortable. As well as via the control system in the overhead console (with timer), it can be activated via wireless remote control. Additionally available as an option is double-glazing for the passenger compartment.
Further customisation of the California 30 is possible, if desired, via the optional “Drive Assist” and ”Tour" add-on packs. The “Tour” pack includes an extra comfort mattress (makes the bed even more comfortable), a magnetic torch (charged via a base station next to the front passenger seat) and a detachable tow hook.
The “Drive Assist” pack includes LED headlights with cleaning system, LED rear lights, “ParkPilot” (visual and acoustic parking assistant), the “Side Assist” lane change assistant, cruise control, electrically adjustable, fold-in, heated wing mirrors and the “Light & Sight” pack with rain sensor, automatic anti-glare rear-view mirror, automatic headlight control and further diverse light functions.
The special California 30 Years model is being unveiled at the "Caravan Salon" trade show in Düsseldorf (25 August to 2 September).
