VW California 6.1 Range Welcomes Back ‘Beach’ Model

VW’s California 6.1 van range is set to welcome back the ‘Beach’ variant in the UK from £52,062, on sale towards the end of this month.

The new California 6.1 Beach will be available with two specifications (Camper and Tour) and its main goal is to make the California range more accessible for larger families, as well as those who need a more flexible MPV to take genuine trips in.

The VW California is already the camper van of choice for so many UK motorists, and adding a new version will only serve to make the range more comprehensive.

First deliveries are expected by March 2021, with both Camper and Tour specs featuring a manual pop-up hydraulic roof, 17-inch alloy wheels, DAB radio with App Connect and a camping table with two folding chairs. Power will come via a 2.0-liter TDI diesel unit with 150 PS, mated to a seven-speed direct-shift gearbox (DSG).

The California Beach 6.1 Tour model comes with five seats as standard, although you can increase the configuration to six or seven – in turn this would make this van the only factory-produced camper on the market capable to seat these many people. It also has sliding doors on both sides, and the asking price is as previously stated, £52,062 ($67,357).

As for the Camper spec, it has just four seats as standard (with an option to increase to five), as well as a pull-out mini kitchen with a single gas hob and pull-out awning. The Beach 6.1 Camper is priced from £52.302 ($67,667).
