feeling stupid: what does 'SE' stand for ?

[Roger Boeken]

I know the T5 version of the 'T6 ocean' is called 'california SE' but I can't find what the abbreviation SE means ..
If this has been answered before, I am sorry but didn't find the thread.

"Special Edition" or "Special Equipment"?

Edit - found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_trim_nomenclature

I doubt it means "Sport Edition" in this context but maybe "Something Else"?

 

[Herman]

I always assumed that it was a phonetic spelling to be pronounced sea, not ess-ee. It's like the Ford Ka pronounced car and not kay-ai. The T6 being called Ocean rather confirms this. Could be wrong though.

I was guessing Standard Edition. I am not feeling stupid anymore , I supposed the question would be answered within seconds..

 

[BeachyBird]

May be started as meaning Special Edition when it was first produced and then they came up with the Beach name because of the phonetics and subsequently the surf and the ocean. ???

They've been using Beach for at least 20 years. The T4 had a Beach option.

SE. Stupidly Expensive.

Someone told me it was Silly Engineering. They might possibly be talking about that electric roof though

No, VW just decided to build a proper " Campervan ".

SE = Special Equipment

i.e. The SE has a fridge, cooker, storage and a proper Leisure 12v power system in addition to the beds, pop-up roof and Diesel heater that are also available on the Beach.

Sounds like a proper campervan, just like the original

SE? Around here they call it CL (stands for Comfort Line?).

Some versions of the Beach are correctly known as Supercalisevenseaterbedsareextraspacious.

I think in the early T5 's they came comfortline or SE there was a diffrence in the beginning....at least here on the mainland.

 

[Cwoods1405]

I think it means seriously expensive!

 

[David Eccles]

SE (which I was told was Special Edition) was adopted for T5 UK Cali /Beach models that came with a spec package of bundled options as standard for the UK market including little differences from standard European like front window in elevation roof.

That can't be right - mine is an T5 Cali SE but has no front window in roof (much to grandson's disappointment!)

 

[GrannyJen]

I thought it stood for "Stupidly Expensive"

 

[sapto]

so I def like more CL aka "California Livin' "
