Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has updated the Grand California, enhancing its energy autonomy. Customers can now replace the AGM battery with two LiFePO batteries or opt for a full self-sufficiency package with permanent solar panels (104 Wp on the 600 and 174 Wp on the 680). VW claims a fivefold increase in battery lifespan, nearly 40% more usable capacity, and charging currents up to 200 amps. Prices are €191.01 for the LiFePO upgrade and €1,650.54 for the solar + lithium package. The motorhome also gains driver fatigue monitoring, an optional intersection assistant, new infotainment systems with screens up to 12 inches, and Atami Bamboo interior trim.
