The California 6.1 is the ultimate travel and leisure camper van, designed to make you feel right at home no matter where your journey takes you, whether you are parked in your driveway or exploring distant horizons. The California 6.1 is your ticket to breaking away from the ordinary in style, thanks to its powerful engine, top-notch interior features, modern infotainment system, and advanced driver-assist technologies.
The California 6.1 has a powerful engine under the hood that allows you to conquer any terrain you come across on your journey. Its 4MOTION capabilities push it even further, making it the most off-road capable vehicle in its class. This means you can go off the beaten track with confidence, knowing your camper van is up to the task.
The California 6.1 does not disappoint in terms of control and comfort. The precision of the electromechanical speed-sensitive power steering, which ensures a responsive and enjoyable driving experience, will impress you. Furthermore, the height and longitudinal adjustability of the steering column allow you to tailor your driving position for maximum comfort.
Because of the excellent acoustic and thermal insulation, the cabin is a tranquil haven. The ergonomic seats are finished with durable premium upholstery, ensuring both durability and comfort on long journeys. The roof section has a new, softer bed with a spring system, ensuring better sleeping comfort during your adventures.
The innovative Trailer Assist system, which automatically guides the vehicle and trailer during parallel and reverse parking, makes parking and manoeuvring a breeze. The tow bar is detachable and lockable for your convenience.
The California 6.1 places a premium on safety. Rest Assist, the driver fatigue detection system, monitors your steering patterns and alerts you with visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of driver fatigue, prompting you to take a break. Side Assist, which is integrated into the Park Assist system, monitors your blind spots and alerts you to any nearby vehicles, obstacles, or pedestrians. Park Assist takes the hassle out of reverse parking by taking over the steering and leaving you to manage the pedals while it guides you into the perfect spot. Crosswind Assist keeps you in your lane by automatically correcting any deviation caused by strong crosswinds, thereby improving your driving stability.
The California 6.1 also has a real-time tyre pressure monitoring system that alerts you to any deviations from the recommended tyre pressure. The passenger compartment includes power-operated child locks for the sliding doors for added security.
Now, let us talk about the California 6.1’s cutting-edge infotainment systems. The standard 10.25-inch display, which features vibrant colours and high-contrast imagery, allows you to get up close and personal with digital innovation. The standard Discover Media Pro Navigation system features a 9.2-inch screen with wired and wireless App Connect, two USB (type-C) ports, Bluetooth connectivity, an SD card slot, and eight speakers. The control panel even has a large, multi-color display that allows you to control the “sunrise function,” which gradually dims the LED interior lights for a more pleasant wake-up experience.
Whether you are chasing sunsets at the beach or hiking through the mountains, the California 6.1 brings the comforts of home with you. It is small and portable, and it comes with useful camping accessories to make your trip more enjoyable. The camping table and two chairs can be neatly tucked away behind the sliding doors and tailgate, ready for a relaxing outdoor meal. With high-end kitchen accessories and a bed extension, you can cook and sleep under the stars. As standard features, the kitchen includes a gas cooker, sink, and a 42-liter compressor cool box. It also has integrated cupboards with Bright Oak wood-effect trim, four seats, and a bed extension that doubles as a lounge area, giving you everything you need for a memorable trip.
