The Grand California, the most spacious motorhome from Volkswagen has been updated for 2025.
Prices start from £84,046 for the Grand California 6001. Or £86,800 for the Grand California 6801. Both models available to order from today.
The ever-popular Grand California has gained a host of updates. Most notably the interior has been refreshed to include the latest dashboard and digital cockpit. The new 10-inch infotainment screen (upgradable to 12.9-inch) comes with App Connect as standard. This gives customers easy access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the go.
In the main living area, there is a brand new five-inch, portrait touchscreen. First introduced on the new California it controls camping functions such as the auxiliary heating and ambient lighting.
With the California app, customers can connect to their vehicle, turning their camper into a smart home on four wheels. This provides access to camper-specific settings, including water levels and battery charge. This allows customers to keep an eye on the vehicle status throughout the trip.
At the rear, the exterior badging has been updated to bring it in line with the new California.
The advanced Grand California 680 model is available with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
Engine line-up
The engine line-up has been updated for Euro VI HD emissions standards. The 2.0-litre TDI engine – for both FWD and 4MOTION models – now has an output of 163PS, with torque of 410Nm.
All customers of the Grand California will benefit from the Volkswagen 5+ Promise. It comprises five services, two MOTs, a five-year warranty, and five years’ Roadside Assistance.
