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
Pull up and dine comfortably amongst lush mountain backdrops, clear water streams and hidden bush settings with the California 6.1’s side awning, camping table and camping chairs. Wherever your trip takes you, you can rest assured you will be prepared.
A fully equipped kitchen
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.
Perfect sleeping conditions
Sleep like you’re on your perfect holiday
There’s not always a hotel at those hidden spots around New Zealand unless you have your own with you. With a spacious roof top bed plus a fold down lower cabin level bed. The California campervan offers you enough space and comfort to dream about your best holiday moments and fall asleep in comfort.
Spacious interior
A home everywhere
The California 6.1 campervan is your home on the road. Its spacious interior provides plenty of room to spread yourself out. Cook, sleep, relax – just like at home. Only with the whole world at your door.
A good journey
Just right. For the town and beach.
The California 6.1 campervan is perfect for a road trip to the coast. And for shopping in the urban jungle. Thanks to its compact dimensions and passenger car-like handling, it’s truly the right companion and entertainer: with the digital cockpit, you can use the touch display of the Infotainment systems and the leather-covered multifunction steering wheel to call up the perfect holiday soundtrack. And the “Discover Pro” navigation systems always guides you to your next dream destination.
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.
Driver Steering Recommendation
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.
Crosswind Assist
As part of the Electronic Stabilisation System (ESP), this applies the brakes if the vehicle encounters a strong crosswind. Standard across the range, this feature is activated automatically when travelling above 80km/h.
Lane Assist
Available as standard, Lane Assist countersteers the vehicle if the driver unintentionally drifts from a lane. The system also emits audible and visual warnings via the multi-function display to alert the driver of danger.
Park Assist
This standard feature aids positioning into parking spaces. When reverse gear is engaged, the vehicle automatically assumes control of the steering. All the driver has to do is operate the clutch, accelerator and brake.
Side Protection
Available as standard, Side Protection alerts you with visual and audible warnings if you’re getting too close to other vehicles, pillars, walls or pedestrians.
Adaptive Cruise Control
The optional Adaptive Cruise Control ACC automatically adapts your speed to that of the vehicle driving in front and maintains the distance set by the drive – remaining within the set speed.
4MOTION all-wheel drive
No journey is too far. Or too steep.
A quick detour into the mountains or a hilly road to the coast: wherever your thirst for adventure takes you – you are prepared for almost anything with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Using an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch on the rear axle, the all-wheel drive automatically adapts the power transmission to the current conditions.
Mechanical differential lock
Onwards to the wider off-road world
Keen to head off road and away from the beaten track? No problem: providing additional support to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive, an optional mechanical differential lock is available for the California 6.1’s rear axle. This makes it easier to pull away off-road, even in difficult conditions.
Dual clutch gearbox
One of its strengths: never letting up
The two powerful TDI engines for the California 6.1 can be combined with an adaptive 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG). This allows for fully automatic, almost imperceptible gear shifts without interrupting the tractive force and can adapt to the driving style.
Electrically adjustable, heated and folding exterior mirrors
Everything in view
LED Headlights
Merry and bright
A constant close eye on what’s ahead: even if you travel at night, the California 6.1 is always the ideal companion. Especially if it’s fitted with LED headlights: they feature a long light beam and high lighting volume. For the best possible visibility and a safe arrival.
Glazing
Plain and clear
One thing that is clear is that our glazing options provide you with unobstructed visibility as quickly as possible in both summer and winter. However, one thing that is clear to us is that they can do a lot more: for instance, we offer both heat reflecting technology or almost opaque windows.
Double glazing in the living area: Noticeably insulates the interior.
Privacy glass: The darker windows in the passenger compartment provide a high degree of discretion.
Outside Shower
Practical refreshment while on the road
Start your next adventure feeling fresh and clean: the hose on the outside shower can be easily connected to the integrated water tank using a click mechanism. The shower is activated using a switch. When not in use, the hose and shower head can be easily stowed in the back cabinet.
Front opening in the electro-hydraulic elevating roof
The perfect view of the world
Awning
Your mobile protection from the sun
Electric 12-way seat adjustment (optional spec only).

Navigation systems
Your destination in your sights: heading to the future
Thanks to modern technology, the navigation systems in the California 6.1 are more functional and intuitive than ever before. Extra innovative: the combination of the digital cockpit with the 23.4 cm (9.2 inch) “Discover Pro” navigation system. This enables you to position the navigation map between the rev counter and speedometer. As such, you can zoom in on both map images. The digital cockpit can display the local environment, for example, while the navigation system shows a larger view of the route. You’ll also receive information about current traffic jams and free parking spaces.

Camper control panel
An extra feature with lots of extras
Different climate zones. Uneven roads. Foreign places: when you’re travelling, you always have to adapt to new situations. Luckily, the California 6.1 helps you with this. The camper control panel now provides you with a digital central unit that you can use to conveniently control many different functions. The menu items are intuitively selected on the touchscreen. The consumers installed can then be operated by the rotary knob.
Control for the electro-hydraulic elevating roof
To open the elevating roof, you don’t need to do anything but stay where you are. The camper control panel enables you to control the roof without any hassle.
Controls for the power and fresh water supply
Got enough power and water for the next part of your journey? Take a quick look: the camper control panel shows you the current fill levels.
Vehicle angle display
Winding roads, steep slopes, uneven parking spaces – wherever you are, you are not guaranteed to find a sense of balance. Thanks to the camper control panel, you can always keep a close eye on the vehicle angle.
Auxiliary heater
The operating unit is easily accessible in the roof panel. The touch screen makes it easier to control and program the auxiliary heater. For the very first time, you can even start it up from your smartphone.
Sockets
Full power on board
Want to share your favourite holiday moments with your loved ones but discovered that your smartphone battery is dead? Luckily, the California 6.1 has plenty of energy on board: the bulkhead of the kitchen cabinet is fitted with one easy to reach 230 V socket and two USB ports. The latter are powered by the extra battery and can also be used while the vehicle is on the move.

Shift by wire
Bigger isn’t always better
A significantly smaller gear knob comes as a result of adopting a new shift-by-wire system. This space-saving feature frees up room in the interior by introducing an electronic connection between the gear lever and the transmission.
Head-up display
Keeping your eyes on the road
The main advantage of the head-up display* in your Golf is that you can keep your eyes on the most important information while watching the road ahead. The windscreen is used as the projection surface for both the speed, driver assistance notifications and navigation instructions.
*Standard on Golf TSI R-Line
Infotainment
Tailored entirely to you
