Volkswagen Caddy California - a compact motorhome straight from Poland
After the T6.1 California and Grand California, VW introduced a new version of the compact camper van to mass production - the Caddy California . The car is now available and will surely be a strong competitor in this segment. Prices start from less than PLN 120,000 gross, and customers can choose from several variants of drive units and 2 body lengths. The available 2.0 TDI units with 75 or 122 HP are equipped with a double SCR filter and double AdBlue injection . The 1.5 TSI version, in turn, provides 114 HP of power. The car has a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, and the options include a 7-speed automatic transmission and a 4-MOTION drive .
Compact and functional
The layout of the interior makes it a car that perfectly combines the advantages of an "everyday" vehicle and an expedition car for shorter and longer journeys. Inside you will find a bed with a system of comfort springs , dimensions 107x198 cm, as well as a pull-out kitchen block at the rear of the vehicle. Inside, the vehicle is equipped with insect nets in the driver's and passenger's doors, storage systems for small items, LED lighting with a dimmer, and a pocket for a camping table and chairs. We can enlarge the living space by equipping the Caddy California with an optional tent "attached" behind the vehicle, which can be positioned independently of the vehicle (a practical solution when you want to leave the campground for sightseeing and not take all your equipment). Expanding sleeping modules are available for the above-mentioned tent, which make this combination an ideal solution for families with children or friends traveling together.
The car is manufactured at the VW factory in Poznań , and the bodywork in Swarzędz near Poznań.
