The official combined-cycle average is listed as 7.5L/100km, so when you consider its 80-litre fuel tank, that correlates with a circa-1100km range. Those figures are practically emulated in the real world. California campers come in two styles: Beach and Ocean (formerly, there was also a mid-level Coast trim). The Ocean is what most Europeans imagine when you say VW California, or VW camper vans in general. Behind its front seats, which can be rotated 180 degrees, there is a small kitchen complete with sink and stove.

Buying a VW California: Ocean vs. Coast There are plenty of reasons to buy a campervan; value for money, family holidays, retirement adventures, spontaneous weekends away, but is a VW California a good investment and should you consider buying one? Choose a VW Cali and you’ll find: Sensible size – goes everywhere a car can go, but with the kitchen sink on board. State of the art technology – lots of driver assistance tech to keep you and your passengers safe on your adventures. Exceptional residual values – you’ll already know this if you’ve looked at buying a used Cali; they hold their value extremely well, good news for you if you’re thinking of buying a new one. Factory built, NOT a conversion – German build quality throughout and comes with… Factory warranty – up to 5 years worry-free adventuring and the Cali is VW from rubber to roof. Explore the California range What's the Difference between the Volkswagen California Ocean and Coast? So, you’ve decided to join the campervan crew, now you need to decide, which is the right Cali for you, the top of the range Ocean or the new Coast model. One of our VW California Specialists, Guy Vincent, at the Volkswagen Van Centre in Preston has shared his thoughts; I think the choice between the Coast and Ocean is one for each individual, their needs and of course, their budget. With such good residual values, you can’t really go wrong, so, my advice is to think about how you’re going to be using your Cali; will it be a car during the week and a campervan at weekends and holidays, or is it a second vehicles just to be used as a campervan. Make a list of what you need and stick to it. The VW California is based on the VW Transporter and with the new model comes a new Cali trim level, the Coast. In the past the choice was between the top of the line Ocean or the Beach, which had no kitchen facilities on board; so, you really can’t make a bad choice! What IS the difference between the VW California Ocean and Coast models? Firstly, it’s universally acknowledged that the Cali is a fantastic piece of kit; its’ robust build quality, great design and car-like qualities make this is a campervan for every eventuality. We’re saying farewell to the Cali Beach, which was more of an MPV type camper, but if you prefer outdoor cooking then fear not, these models will still be available as Approved Used models. The VW California Ocean Always the top of the range model, the Ocean now comes with more engine choices, you can opt for a higher-powered 196bhp motor, as well as optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive; there’s added technology too, larger alloy wheels, along with the pop-up roof which glides up hydraulically at the touch of a button. The Ocean now boasts an abundance of driver assistance features, rear-view camera system, alongside a state-of-the-art digital cockpit which you can customise to suit you perfectly. For practicality there’s plenty of storage with new catches to keep everything safe and secure when you’re on the move. The double bed has had a makeover too, with pocketed sprung mattress bringing home comforts to the road! No more roll together, just a great night’s sleep and the canvas has been changed to keep out the light, allowing you to have a good long, comfy night’s sleep. And as for the aforementioned driver assistance features, well there are too many to list them all, but for starters there’s emergency brake assist, park assist, active lane assist, adaptive cruise control, crosswind assist, trailer assist…phew you get the gist! There’s many more all designed to help you adventure safely. There’s further home comforts with a hob, sink and fridge, and on the outside the Ocean looks swish too with 17” alloy wheels, LED headlights and even double glazing in the rear cabin; there’s also climatronic three-zone automatic climate control and an auxiliary air heater. When a campervan just isn’t enough then choose the Ocean, truly now a glampervan! VW California Ocean The VW California Coast Where the beach was less campervan, more MPV, the Coast is a full camper with the hob, sink and 42 litre cool box included. It boasts the new pocket spring double bed for super-comfy sleeping, but without the power roof (it's manually elevating!); there’s also adaptive cruise control and emergency city braking. There’s great connectivity and super-sharp touchscreen. The Coast comes with the 148bhp TDI engine and unlike the Ocean there’s no option to upgrade. You may be limited to one engine, but rest assured, you won’t get chilly in the Coast, it has an auxiliary heater, making it a totally different camper to the Beach, fully-equipped, and offering everything you could need for adventuring near and far. In essence, the Coast is a less ‘full-fat’ version of the VW California Ocean, but with its well-equipped kitchen, heater and driver assist aids, many may find it a less expensive way to join the campervan fraternity.

VW California forums are full of prospective campervan owners asking for advice on which model would suit them best and there are as many ardent ‘Cali’ fans in favour of the Beach as there are of the Ocean. We spoke to Guy Vincent, California Specialist at Volkswagen Van Centre in Preston to ask his opinion, I’m going to give a diplomatic answer here and not plump for one or the other! What I do want to highlight are the reasons why buying a Volkswagen California, whichever model, is a very smart thing to do. Back to the Ocean v Beach battle; why the big debate? What is the difference between these two models and why does the discussion exercise the minds of so many campervan enthusiasts? Well the first thing to note is that this VW campervan is just as loved and makes its’ owners just as passionate as its iconic predecessor. It’s universally acknowledged as a fantastic piece of kit, and the truth is that both the Ocean and the Beach have ardent fans, so, it’s really not possible to make a mistake. Excellent build quality, lots of forethought and great design make this is a campervan for life, not just for Summer and whichever suits you best, you’ll find it changes your life in a very positive way. Since the outgoing Beach model, the Beach now features improvements including blinds for the front windows, a touchscreen camper-function control panel and engine upgrades. Both California Beach models come with the same engine choices for both the Tour and Camper, 150PS 7-speed DSG, however, the California Ocean comes with the additional option of 204PS , 199PS , 204PS 4MOTION and 199PS 4MOTION variants. First up is the Beach. The Beach slots in at the entry price point of the California line and come in two versions – the Beach Tour and the Beach Camper. The California Beach models are more MPVs with pop-up roof than fully equipped mobile getaways, but with the added flexibility to carry more people as a result. If opting for the Beach Tour, you’ll be able to seat five people as standard, with the option to increase to six or seven, while the Camper carries four as standard (same as existing California’s) with a fifth optional. The UK California Beach Camper variant, comes complete with a mini kitchen that folds out from the side panel and can be tucked away when not in used. There's no sink or fridge, unlike the California Ocean, but there is a single-burner gas stove and worktop. Those happy with just a sleeper van will be able to get a more capable people-hauler by opting for the Beach Tour. This is set up as a ‘day van’, with a smaller storage unit along the side of the van and no standard kitchen, instead complete with twin sliding side doors to make loading up passengers a breeze. True Beach lovers won’t mind the absence of a full kitchen at all; they prefer the flexible space this more minimalist interior gives them and are happy to cook outside. Beach fans may already have a pop-up tent and camping stoves, if not, they buy these along with a coolbox and they’re ready to rock and roll. Both Beach Camper and Tour , when the seats are folded down, provide a substantial double bed, providing comfy, cosy sleeping for 2 people or maybe even 3 if you have little people on-board. Another double bed is revealed, when you manually pop-up the roof and you very definitely get a comfy, snuggly, luxurious night’s sleep. With a picnic table and two chairs concealed in the boot lid and sliding doors, the added extra that most Beach buyers will be adding is the wind-out awning, just in case you need to hide from the thoroughly British showers or indeed keen in shade on sunny days. For lovers of the Beach the ability to be flexible on seating means their California can be used more as an MPV when it’s not being used as a campervan. For ocean lovers however, this is a cop-out! Find out more about the VW California Beach And so, into the Ocean If the Volkswagen California Beach Camper is a brilliant campervan, then the Volkswagen California Ocean is a simply fabulous Glampervan. Opt for a California ‘Ocean’ model – the true top-of-the range camper – and this time the pop-up roof glides up hydraulically at the touch of a button; and when you wake from your comfy slumbers, you can pop the kettle on and get the bacon frying, on the built-in hob. You can wash up after yourself, keep food and drink chilled in the fridge and store your clothes in the wardrobe. What’s the pay-off for all this added glamping-ness? Well the downstairs bed is narrower to accommodate the kitchen/wardrobe etc, but it’s still super-comfy and pocketed sprung mattress bringing home comforts to the road! In exchange for this narrower downstairs double, you not only get a kitchen, but also storage galore, a pull-out table and there’s still the option to configure your seating in different ways, just not up to 7 seats. Referred to by ardent VW campervan enthusiasts, as the ‘full-fat’ option, the ocean will take you anywhere, anytime; keep you warm and your food cold; offer a haven in bad weather and a hotel in warmer climes. On the outside the Ocean looks swish too with LED headlights and even double glazing in the rear cabin; there’s also state-of-the-art digital cockpit, rear-view camera system, climatronic three-zone automatic climate control and an auxiliary air heater. When a campervan just isn’t enough, then choose the Ocean, truly now a glampervan! Find out more about the VW California Beach VS Ocean - Which is better? So, you’ve decided to join the campervan crew, now you need to decide, which is the right Cali for you, the top of the range Ocean or the entry-priced Beach. The Beach camper is easier and perhaps more practical day-to-day and arguably offers more flexible sleeping; the Ocean has everything, including the kitchen-sink and a touch of luxury. In truth, whether you’re a camper or a glamper the Volkswagen California is definitely the campervan for you and don’t forget, with plenty of pre-loved VW campervans for sale, the choice isn’t just about Ocean versus Beach. One of our VW California Specialists, Guy Vincent, at the Volkswagen Van Centre in Preston has shared his thoughts; With such good residual values, you can’t really go wrong, so, my advice is to think about how you’re going to be using your Cali; will it be a car during the week and a campervan at weekends and holidays, or is it a second vehicle just to be used as a campervan.
