Model history

The VW T4 Westfalia marked a new era for the popular VW bus from 1991 onwards, as for the first time the engine was installed at the front and drove the front wheels. This fundamental technical change resulted in more space in the interior and modern handling. The Westfalia versions, such as the California, were particularly popular with travel enthusiasts.

Equipped with practical features such as a folding bed, kitchenette, and swivel seats, the T4 Westfalia California became the ideal companion for camping and everyday life. Depending on the model and year of manufacture, various engines were available – from a 2.0-liter gasoline engine to a 5-cylinder diesel engine.

With its robust technology, variable equipment, and typical VW charm, the T4 Westfalia California is now a sought-after youngtimer that offers both nostalgia and genuine everyday practicality.
