The Volkswagen California T7 builds upon the company’s legacy of versatility, seamlessly transitioning from a fully-equipped camper van to a practical vehicle for daily use.
For the first time, the Volkswagen California incorporates plug-in hybrid technology, offering impressive overall ranges while providing emission-free driving for urban commutes.
