The California Ocean replaces the SE model from the previous generation, with prices starting from £47,840 on-the-road. Customers can choose from two engines with either 150 or 204 PS and six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG gearboxes. 4MOTION four-wheel drive variants mean the ultimate ‘office from the office’ can go further and wider afield. The Ocean also adds an electro-hydraulic pop-up roof with lighting, plus a kitchenette with two rings, a fridge and sink.
The new generation California adds a host of safety, comfort and convenience features including:
- Driver Alert System;
- Brake Assis;
- Automatic Post-Collision Braking System;
- Adaptive Cruise Control;
- Front Assist and City Emergency Braking.
In the cabin the California gains a new ‘premium’ dashboard, an option on Beach, with wide centre console and car-like feel, plus the latest infotainment system, DAB digital radio, Bluetooth and new multi-function display. A new cup-holder as well as new fabrics, leathers and plastics enhance the ambience inside.
