The latest T6.1 Volkswagen California Coast is now available in South Africa and it’s squarely aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. Our resident adventure motoring journalist, Gero Lilleike, drove from Cape Town to the heart of the Garden Route to test the full range of the California’s camping capability in the wilds of the Tsitsikamma forest. Is this the ultimate family car and should you buy it?
We’ve tested the latest Caravelle T6.1 extensively since it came to market in October 2020 but we’ve been eagerly waiting to test the outdoor enthusiast’s dream, the VW California Coast family camper!
The VW California Coast is a fully-equipped family camper van with a host of useful outdoor-orientated features. In fact, in many ways, it’s a home on wheels and a pretty fancy one at that.
Volkswagen sells approximately 18 000 California’s globally every year, making it a top choice in the camper van market.
In an effort to effectively test all the features that the California Coast has to offer, we set off on a camping road trip from Cape Town to Nature’s Valley in the heart of the Garden Route.
