Whoa, the all-new Volkswagen California comes with some impressive new tricks

Start packing for your holidays, kids—an all-new version of the Volkswagen California campervan has just been revealed. The German carmaker says it has completely overhauled the expensive hotel room on wheels, packing it with fun new features inside and a range of upgraded powertrain options under the hood.

There are five specs to choose from, following the similarly jaunty outdoors-themed names of the California 6.1. You can pick between Beach, Beach Tour, Beach Camper, Coast, and Ocean versions of the stalwart roamer. All of them get a pop-up roof and, for the first time, they have sliding doors on both sides as standard. No more having to walk round the other side for exhausted holidaymakers. This also means the awning can be ordered on either side of the van.

What are the different versions of the new California like, did you say? Well, the entry-level Beach variant is the spartan option, though it does come with six seats, so it makes sense as a day-to-day family car and two people can sleep in the pop-up roof.The Beach Tour adds some nifty folding chairs squirreled away in the tailgate and a table, as well as a heftier camping battery and some useful LED lighting about the interior.

Beach Camper builds on the other two variants with a slide-out cooker and drawers in the load compartment that you can access with the back door open—the tailgate also offers a bit of shelter if it’s raining.The four-seater Coast model has a kitchenette on the driver’s side and a second camping battery—Volkswagen says that thanks to the extra length, it means the side door by the kitchen is usable and the driver’s seat now rotates by 180 degrees.

The flagship Ocean model gets fancier interior fabrics, heated front seats, roof storage over the load compartment, and an auxiliary air heater. Both the Coast and Ocean versions come with a 28-liter fresh water tank, an exterior folding table , and a 230V exterior socket.PHOTO BY VolkswagenPHOTO BY VolkswagenPHOTO BY VolkswagenNOTE: This article first appeared on TopGear.com.
