Technical Data for Your Volkswagen California Van Fourth Generation (2024-2025)

Weight  
The values for the kerb weight in the following tables apply to the road-ready vehicle with driver(75 kg (approx.  
165 lbs)), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, where applicable, tools and spare tyre.  
Additional equipment and retrofitted accessories increase the stated kerb weight and reduce the maximum permitted  
load accordingly.  
The load comprises the weights of the following:  
Passengers.  
Overall load inside and outside the vehicle.  
Add-on parts.  
Drawbar load when towing a trailer.  
The permitted gross vehicle weight rating and gross axle weight rating must never be exceeded. The permitted  
values are provided on the safety certificate (“safety compliance label”) or on the type plate on the B-pillar.  
Performance figures  
The performance figures were measured without equipment which may detrimentally affect performance, such as  
add-on parts.  
The power output and performance figures may differ for reasons of vehicle registration or vehicle taxation.  
The maximum speed may be limited and may therefore be lower for some engine versions in vehicles equipped with  
heavy-duty running gear.  
Maximum trailer weight and drawbar load values  
The figures for maximum trailer weight and drawbar load that are given on the type plate of the towing bracket are  
for certification purposes of the towing bracket only. The correct values for your specific model, which are often  
lower than these figures, are given in the vehicle documents. The values in the official vehicle documents, on the type  
plate of the vehicle or on the safety certificate always have priority.  
Gross combination weight rating  
The gross combination weight ratings listed apply only to altitudes up to 1,000 m(approx. 3,000 ft) above sea level.  
The maximum gross combination weight rating must be reduced by approximately 10% for every further started  
1,000 m (approx. 3,000 ft) in altitude.

Position of the vehicle identification number  
Fig. 1 Inside the windscreen: Vehicle identification  
number.  
The vehicle identification number can be read from outside the vehicle through a viewer in the windscreen. The  
viewer is located in the lower corner of the windscreen.  
In addition, the vehicle identification number is mechanically inserted on the right-hand side of the vehicle in the  
engine compartment.  
For some models, depending on the Infotainment system version, the vehicle identification number can be displayed  
in the Service menu or in the vehicle settings. The vehicle identification number can also be found on the type plate.

The data in the table applies to the German base model with basic equipment.  
The specified values can vary due to different tyre and wheel sizes, if additional equipment is fitted, for different  
model versions, for retrofitted accessories, and for special vehicles. They can also vary in vehicles that have been  
manufactured for other countries.

Capacities  
Fuel tank capacity:  
Approx. 80 l  
Or: approx. 70 l.  
Capacity of the AdBlue® tank:  
Approx. 22 l  
If refill bottles are used to refill the system, the AdBlue fill level could be slightly higher for technical reasons.  
For technical reasons, the filling quantity may be lower in cold climatic conditions.  
Washer fluid reservoir capacity:  
Approx. 5 l  
The fuel tank capacity includes an unspecified reserve quantity which remains in the tank when the fuel  
gauge indicates that the tank is empty. The reserve quantity is variable and cannot be reliably used to  
increase the remaining range.
