The California has been an icon of the open road since it first launched in 1988. The Grand California is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ latest addition to its proud story of building freedom on four wheels. Featuring a comfortable, spacious interior, cutting-edge technology and a platform taken from the proven Crafter, the Grand California motorhome expands upon previous generations of camper van.
A night under the stars. An unforgettable summer weekend festival with friends. A beach house, ski chalet and return ticket, all in one. The all-new Grand California motorhome is the ultimate lifestyle accessory.
Featuring plenty of space to take home comforts on the road, the Grand California fits beds for two adults and two children, a separate bathroom and comfy living space into a safe, efficient package. The white surfaces create an airy atmosphere, helped by the optional panoramic skylights. Enjoy open plan van life wherever you go.
There aren’t many areas of the market where Volkswagen (or the VW Group) brands aren’t present - and yet the VW Grand California represents a leap into the unknown for the German giant. For as its name suggests, this new model tries to take the winning recipe that is the uber-practical California camper van and turns everything up to 11 in a bid to attract an entire different breed of customer: motorhome buyers.

VW didn’t have to look too far for a suitable platform on which to base its motorhome. For while most of the vehicles in the market are produced by third-party specialists who generally take something like a Fiat Ducato or a Peugeot Boxer and graft living quarters onto the back, the boffins at VW’s commercial vehicles division had the Crafter van at their disposal.


The result is a pair of Grand Californias, with enough additional mechanical options for the line-up to be called a range. The ‘entry point’ is the 600, which, as its name suggests, uses the six metre-long version of the Crafter. It offers sleeping quarters for two adults and, in a neatly faired-in bit of bodywork above the front seats, an extra ‘bedroom’ that’s big enough for children.
