Developed in collaboration with Stuff Bubble, the vehicle's equipment allows it to be converted into a full camper in a few minutes. Volkswagen is also including two camping chairs and a table as part of the package.
The model includes the Interior Style Package, Comfort Package, and a PowerSocket discharge adapter for vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities. With up to 3.6 kW of power, it can function as a mobile power bank for appliances and e-bikes.
The vehicle features a new California mode for overnight stays and a dedicated California app for navigating to charging stations. The ID. California Cruise starts at €60 761 in Germany, with deliveries starting in early 2027.
