На базе коммерческой модели Volkswagen Transporter выпускается дом на колёсах California, который в ближайшее время будет обновлён. Поколение 6.1 покажут на выставке Caravan-Salon в Дюссельдорфе в конце августа 2019 года.
В оснащение California 6.1 войдут цифровая приборная панель и цифровой же блок управления дополнительными системами кемпера. Обновление принесёт новую мультимедийную систему со встроенной eSIM и доступом к онлайн-сервисам. С технической точки зрения машина серьёзно поменяется за счёт расширения доступного для неё списка электронных систем помощи водителю.

California 6.1 оснастят электроусилителем руля, который и сделал возможным оснащение автомобиля современными ассистентами. В линейку моторов войдёт 2-литровый турбодизель в нескольких вариантах форсировки.
Внешне автомобиль изменится в стилистике обновлённых ранее Transporter T6.1 и Multivan T6.1. Все подробности будут известны позднее, когда состоится официальный дебют «Калифорнии» на выставке в Германии.

UPDATE FOR THE ICONIC CAMPER VAN: VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS A FIRST LOOK AHEAD AT THE NEW CALIFORNIA 6.1
New and more comfortable: enhanced interior and new display for the camper functions
New and connected: digital cockpit and online infotainment systems with integrated eSIM for the first time
New and sharper: front end with charismatic design transports the DNA of the California to the future
New and safe: side-wind compensation system, “Lane Assist” and Side Protection for extra safety
Hanover, 2 July 2019 - Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has revealed the first sketches and details of the new California 6.1. The update for the campervan covers many aspects: the interior of the camper van has been enhanced; the multifunctional camper control unit in the roof console has been redesigned and digitalised, new assistance systems enhance safety and comfort; a new generation of infotainment with integrated eSIM opens up the world of mobile online services, and digital instruments are available for the first time (“Digital Cockpit”). Striking: the completely redesigned front end of the California 6.1.
More than 18,000 Californias are sold per year (2018)*, making it the number 1 campervan and a true all-rounder, ideal for big trips and daily journeys. Now Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has further refined the top seller: the living and sleeping areas of the camper van have been carefully enhanced and optimised. Furthermore, the driver and front passenger sit in front of a redesigned dashboard including new instruments (analogue or as an option digital for the first time) and new online infotainment systems.
Like the Multivan 6.1 revealed earlier this year, the California 6.1 features electromechanical power steering. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is giving the camper numerous new assistance systems, for example “Lane Assist”, Side Protection and “Trailer Assist”, which makes light work of manoeuvring with a trailer. In addition, a side-wind compensation system makes travelling in the California 6.1 even safer.
The new California T6.1 will be launched with highly efficient 2.0-litre turbodiesel engines1 with output of up to 146 kW /199 PS. The new camper generation will celebrate its world premiere at the end of August at the Caravan-Salon in Düsseldorf.
