A new Grand California motorhome has been launched in Ireland by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, at a starting price of €76,900, writes Brian Byrne.
Based on the Volkswagen Crafter large van, the completely new addition to the California range is available in both 2- and 4-berth formats, and the price includes product design and delivery.
Power is a 177hp engine with 8-speed automatic transmission.
Features include a bathroom with toilet and shower, a kitchen and dining area, and there are options which include overhead bunk beds for children, an awning, rear bicycle rack, and air-conditioning.
All the driver assistance and infotainment systems from the Crafter are available in the Grand California.
The first California motorhome was launched in 1988, based on the Bulli commercial van. The new one joins the T6 based vehicle.
