New Volkswagen California will be available in five trims: Beach, Beach Tour, Beach Camper, Coast, and Ocean. Every model has a rooftop tent and two sliding doors with mosquito nets. Volkswagen will offer a new awning for some markets and standard for others. It will be on both sides of the vehicle.
Inside, Volkswagen has replaced the rear bench with two individual seats. They can still be transformed into a bed. This means people can still put bikes in the back without losing a sleeping space.

Engineers also redesigned the full kitchenette available on the Coast and Ocean. It is now located further back, so passengers can still exit both sides of the vehicle. The Beach Camper trim has a permanent rear slide-out mini kitchen with a gas stove, two drawers, and storage. Each of the rear seats is removable and comes with a drawer. VW has placed several USB-C charging ports throughout the cabin. You can turn off all interior lights with a double tap on any light switch. The Beach Tour trim and higher come with VW's new camper control unit in the passenger-side. It controls various vehicle functions accessible through the infotainment system and a smartphone app.

The Ocean is the top version and comes with two camper batteries, two 230-volt outlets, heated front seats, supplemental air heating, a roof storage compartment, a folding table, and a 28-liter freshwater tank.
The new camper will be available with three powertrain choices, shared with the Multivan. The four-cylinder, 150-horsepower turbodiesel and the 204-hp gas engines power the front wheels. The new plug-in hybrid option comes with 4Motion all-wheel drive and 245 hp. It can also tow up to 2 tons.
