Volkswagen California and Grand California Gain Five-Star Rating

The Volkswagen California 6.1, widely recognised for excelling in comfort, connectivity and driver assistance technology, obtained a glowing five-star rating from the Caravan and Motorhome Club in its Buyers Guide for 2021.

Also finishing at the top of its sector after fighting off tough competition, the Volkswagen Grand California received a five-star rating in the ‘Fixed Roof Van Conversions Over 6 metres’ category. This win acknowledges not only the spacious, stylish design, but also the incomparable reliability of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Both vehicles present a top choice for families seeking luxury and adventure. Following the increasing popularity of staycations in 2020, both the California and Grand California provide a reliable and comfortable vehicle for those journeying further afield in the UK this year.

The Motorhome and Campervan Design Awards Buyers Guide, curated by The Caravan and Motorhome Club, offers reviews, advice and a wealth of information for customers interested in buying their next campervan or motorhome. The guide features opinions from a wide range of industry experts who examine every vehicle extensively to determine the ratings given in each category.

Nick Lomas, Director General of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, commented: “Our expert panel of judges have spent thousands of hours going through an immense amount of data, reviewing 106 new motorhomes, campervans, pop-tops and A-Class vehicles to provide buyers with an in-depth guide to the leisure vehicle market.”

Kate Thompson, Head of Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded five-star ratings for both of our campervans in such a reputable guide. These ratings by the Caravan and Motorhome Club cement our vehicles as the best on the market in each category and the camper of choice for many as they look to explore some of the UK’s most popular destinations this summer.”
