The New VW California Sunrise Suite FAQs
What is the new VW California so good?
A true camping icon, the VW California has been updated to deliver even more comfort and functionality on the road without losing its much-loved character.
With an innovative three-room concept, the Sunrise Suite makes the most of every inch of space. A spacious living area, open kitchen and cosy sleep space ensure you have everything you need to relax on your travels. But it doesn’t stop there – you can also customise the space to suit your unique needs, as the seats in the passenger compartment can be moved individually or removed completely.
The addition of a second sliding door creates a more open living space, enabling you to bring the outdoors. But it also enhances everyday practicality, making loading and unloading a breeze.
It’s not just the interior space that’s benefited from an update, as the new VW California is now packed with the latest tech. You can control all important camping functions via three different control points: the latest generation infotainment system with integrated ChatGPT, the camper control unit on the C-pillar or via a mobile device using the “California on Tour” app.
All of this means that hiring the new VW California is a must if you want to experience the very best VW camping experience.
Who is the new VW California suitable for?
Whether you’re a VW campervan fan or new to camping, the new VW California will not disappoint.
Sleeping up to four, it is ideal for friends and family getaways, but it’s also great for couples or solo travellers who want to experience the comfort and luxury of this iconic model.
Its compact dimensions ensure it is perfect for city adventures as the Sunrise Suite easily fits into multi-storey car parks and tight car parking spaces and is incredibly manoeuvrable. Yet inside the well-thought-out space and two sliding doors ensure it still offers plenty of space and comfort on your travels.
The new VW California is also perfect for tech lovers, as it comes with the latest innovations, including ChatGPT, to make your whole journey run more smoothly.
