Hi

Just found this article earlier today, what do you think...?

El nuevo Volkswagen California ha estrenado la nueva temporada de pruebas de invierno. La firma alemana ha sido la primera en aparecer por los habituales circuitos de ensayos en el norte de Suecia, completamente al desnudo y preparándose para su debut a finales de primavera, una variante del...

No thanks.
Looks like a cut and shut from the rear quarter. The slopping back end is not coherent with the lines from the front. All I can see is a VW badged MB MP.

Very interesting.

The new Volkswagen California will arrive in 2025​

The new California will be the replacement for the T6.1, which already has an expiration date in production: on June 30, the last units of the California and Caravelle will leave the assembly lines, taking over from this model that will be in conditions to reach the market at the end of next year as a 2025 model .

Exactly the same comments and sentiments prior to the T5, T6 and T6.1 launches.

Time will tell. If it’s built and warranted by VW then it will sell. If it was built by VW and converted by a 3rd Party then it will have no advantage over the Mercedes and Ford offerings.

on June 30, the last units

That was reported in the German auto press 6 months ago.

For sure, and anyone wanting new will only have 1 option.
To be fair the new Multivan is a complete departure from the Transporter, so the chin scratching and hand wrangling is more understandable. Headroom looks to have taken a hit. Time will tell if this offers same practicality for a family thats currently offered by the old platform.

Very happy we bit the bullet and ordered our Cali Ocean 4Motion a few weeks ago whilst the current T6.1 model is still available.

The next gen Cali may well turn out to be a winner, but the T6.1 variant ticks all the boxes for us and hopefully will suit us fine for years to come.

Don’t tour in Wales then! 20 mph speed limits + diesel engine not a good combination.

Don’t read the German Auto Press I’m afraid.
