Volkswagen is about to present a first concept of the T7 California at the Caravan Salon 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany, next weekend. Our spies, however, caught a prototype of the real machine yet now – months before it’ll come to dealers in spring 2024.
As believed, the new T7 California camper van is based on the Multivan with long rear overhang and will feature sliding doors left and right. That will make it necessary to offer awnings on both sides of the car – a novum for a California. These two awnings were previewed by the design sketch Volkswagen released earlier this month – and their fittings above the sliding doors are easily to spot on these spy shots taken on the German Nürburgring.

The only other design modification over the standard T7 Multivan is the higher camping roof which can be lifted to gain full headroom for adults.
Like the Multivan it is based on, the new California will be powered by either a TDI diesel engine with 150 or a TSI petrol unit with 204 hp.
