Really love Grand California's. Ours is the 680 version and our first trip away in it was all the way down to Spain through France over Chrismas and New Year. Fantastic! Loads more planned for this year, from the North of Scotland to Cornwall, the Channel Islands, and back to Spain again. A pleasure to drive!
Thanks for the comprehensive tour Chris. Good to see that Swansway, at least, have someone completely enthused by and knowledgeable about the GC. I just wish that VW had done a better job of all the high lockers. Catches are awful and I’d be anxious about them failing. The wooden or mdf baton which runs through all the upper lockers ruins the utility of the upper lockers - pushes items forward and prevents any vertical stack of clothing items. All need the restraint mesh found in the rear locker and I wonder if any are now being sold to fit to prevent everything just falling out after travelling.
Nice video, i like the car a lot. But one question. Is it possible to fit 2 childseats next to each other with isofix or seatbelt? Or is the bench to small ?
Do love the Grand; but equally I think the consumer market just cant beat the Ocean proposition. We could live with the height of the GC600 for our family - but the refinement of the Ocean over the GC (no DSG, fabric lined paneling, no inverter) only goes to show just how great an Ocean is. That said, hot water and a permanently made bed? Envy.
Great video as always Chris👍
Glad you enjoyed it

That's amazing! Really glad to hear that someone is using the 680 to its full potential.

It would definitely be nice to see a next generation of the GC with some much requested changes, but I still love this vehicle.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review 😊
Glad you enjoyed

This is only the first version of this model, too. I can't wait to see if / when they refine it in the future.
Is anyone else underwhelmed by the finish? I really hope thr 24/25 model has a higher spec finish
