Volkswagen is celebrating 30 years of making camper
vans with the introduction of a new special edition. Aptly named the VW California 30
Years, the new special edition is limited to 999 units, out of which only 30
will be available in the United Kingdom. This makes it “the most exclusive
special edition ever”, says the automaker.
The new camper van is based on the range-topping
California Ocean, so it comes at a very hefty £ 64,307 in the
UK, tax included. For the money, customers will enjoy a lot of extra equipment,
including a new color, Turmeric Yellow, contrasted by the Reflex Silver or
Indium Grey finished roof and wing mirrors.
LED headlights, removable towbar and full LED
headlights are offered at no extra cost, and are joined by the front and rear
parking sensors and interior amenities such as the Discover Media Navigation
Pro infotainment system. App-Connect, which allows users to access various apps
through a compatible smartphone, including music and maps, heated front seats
and cruise control are also standard.
Customers will have to choose between two versions
of the 2.0 TDI diesel, with either 150 PS or 199 PS. The sole transmission option is a seven-speed dual-clutch and the
range-topping model, which starts at £ 70,629, also gets
all-wheel drive as standard.
