Specifications, price and details for the Volkswagen California on sale in Australia.
At $93,790 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Volkswagen California Beach TDI340 gets you a 7-seat diesel van with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox driving the front wheels. It uses 6.6L/100km on the combined cycle and carries an 80-litre fuel tank. Payload is 649kg. It's rated to tow 2,500kg braked. We don't have a cargo volume figure for it yet, but it makes sense for a family or group wanting seats for seven in a van that can also pull a decent load.
