VW has taken the concept of the California camper
van to the next level with their latest California XXL Concept. Based on the
new Crafter, the new VW California XXL Concept was revealed at this year’s
Caravan Salon Düsseldorf featuring an innovative interior architecture and all
the latest tech features.
The California XXL Concept comes with a fixed
panoramic roof, an extended rear section that allows the formation of an
enormous bed, an alcove for the children, all-wheel drive for year-round use
and pneumatic suspension among other.
The modern interior architecture is planned down to
the last detail, featuring a retractable wet room, a heated and cooled bed, an
extendible work surface, underfloor heating and a wide range of functions that
can be controlled via a mobile app.
The latest VW camper van concept is 102 mm higher
than a Crafter panel van with the ‘Super High Roof’, allowing for a standing
height of up to 2,2m. Between the front and rear bumpers, the VW California XXL
is 5,986 mm long but the overall length reaches over 6,2m if you consider the
extended rear section.
Power is provided by a 177 PS Euro 6 turbodiesel
engine that’s paired to VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system. Having a pneumatic
suspension optimizes the ride comfort as well as simplifies horizontal
alignment of the camper van when parked.
