2020 VW Grand California 680 - Volkswagen

Retaining many of the strengths of the original Transporter-based California, the Crafter-based Grand California’s appeal is extended by the addition of extra space, and a wetroom with toilet, shower, a fold-out wash basin, shelves, cupboards and a skylight for ventilation.
