First plug-in Hybrid California opens for order

The new California eHybrid 4MOTION, the first plug-in hybrid variant of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ iconic campervan, is now available to order from Breeze Van Centres, with prices starting from £71,295¹ or £739 per month on 0% APR with Hire Purchase.²

Continuing the Volkswagen campervan legacy as the iconic vehicle enters into the electric era for the first time, the new California eHybrid 4MOTION is the ideal companion for every adventure. Featuring a combined output of 245 PS, its powerful and efficient powertrain combines an electric motor with a high-tech 1.5 TSI engine, for flexibility and reliability, no matter the journey.

For everyday adventuring, the 19.7kWh lithium-ion battery delivers an impressive WLTP range of 54 miles³ of pure electric travel, while offering a towing capacity of up to 1,600kg, perfect for those with motorbikes or boats in tow.

Available in a choice of highly-specified trim levels – Beach Camper, Coast and Ocean – the new eHybrid California benefits from the same exceptional flexibility as the petrol and diesel variants. Two sliding doors as standard ensure comfortable and easy entry and exit, creating a three-zone concept for campsites, while enabling greater versatility for outdoor eating with the redesigned kitchen and external folding table.

To mark order books opening, until 30 June 2025, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is offering a number of compelling finance offers on the new plug-in hybrid variant. The Beach Camper 245PS eHybrid 1.5 TSI 4MOTION is available on 0% APR from £739 per month on a 48-month, 10,000-mile Hire Purchase agreement from Volkswagen Financial Services.²
