Volkswagen California T6 review - pictures

THis is the new T6 VW California camper van.

This is an expensive camper, but it does feel upmarket and has a lot of useful features.

The interior reminds us of VW's passenger car range, especially in the top-spec model.

<span>Euro-6 emissions-compliant diesel engines come in three states of tune - 100bhp, 148bhp or 201bhp.</span>

<span>44.1mpg is decent, htough of course it depends what's on board behind you.</span>

<span>VW says there are 6,000 changes from the T5 Transporter to the T6, and all are present in this version.</span>

The kitchen sink happens to be included in the price - althoguh it's the same one from the T5 California.

<span>The roof can be popped up and the rear bench turned into a double bed.</span>

There are two trim levels: Beach and Ocean.

The 148bhp is our pick, ofference punchy performance and decent economy.

The DSG automatic gearbox is available for the T6 California.

<span>Beach models do without the rear kitchen.</span>

<span>Bluetooth, DAB digital radio and climate control are standard.</span>

All models come with an auxilliary heater for those cold nights.
