Buzz het meest in de schijnwerpers. Maar de Multivan en zijn campervariant, de California, hebben onlangs een flinke cosmetische en technologische update gekregen. De elektrische aandrijflijnen zijn echter ongewijzigd gebleven.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">De nieuwste versie van beide modellen heeft een vernieuwde voorkant, een volledig nieuw interieur en een verbeterd rijhulpsysteem dat nu voor het eerst ook verkeerslichtherkenning omvat.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\">Strakker ogende voorkant<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\">De veranderingen gaan veel verder dan een gebruikelijke modelvernieuwing halverwege de levenscyclus. Met name het interieur leunt duidelijk aan bij de ID. Buzz, wat ofwel geruststellend is, ofwel een teken dat VW zijn busfamilie wil harmoniseren voordat Californi\u00eb uiteindelijk volledig elektrisch gaat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Stel dat het dat \u00fcberhaupt al zou doen. Dat laatste blijft een lastige opgave vanwege het gewicht. Door er een accu aan toe te voegen, zou het in feite veranderen in een vrachtwagen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Volkswagen heeft de voorkant strakker vormgegeven zonder het ontwerp te verstoren. De led-koplampen zijn fysiek groter geworden, met dagrijlichten die als een \u2018wenkbrauw\u2019 over de dim- en grootlichtmodules lopen. Een horizontale verlichte strook verbindt beide modules in het midden, althans bij de duurdere uitvoeringen waar deze niet als optie verkrijgbaar is.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-187724\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265616-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265616-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265616-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265616-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Ook de bumper aan de onderkant is vernieuwd: de luchtinlaten zijn nu naar beneden ge\u00efntegreerd, met nieuwe verticale luchtgordijnen aan de buitenranden. Het uiterlijk is strakker en monolithischer geworden. Maar je herkent de Multivan nog steeds van mijlenver. Drie nieuwe tweekleurige combinaties zorgen voor net dat beetje extra flair.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\">Groen van rood onderscheiden<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">De vernieuwing van het interieur is het hoogtepunt van deze facelift. <\/span>Het dashboard is voorzien van een nieuw infotainmentscherm van 12,9 inch \u2013 aanzienlijk groter dan voorheen en, net als bij de ID. Buzz, nu opvallend vrijstaand in plaats van verzonken. De versnellingshendel is verplaatst naar een schakelaar op de stuurkolom, opnieuw in navolging van de indeling van de ID. Buzz.<\/p>\n<p>Het draadloos opladen is opgewaardeerd van 5 W naar 25 W, en alle uitvoeringen zijn standaard uitgerust met extra USB-C-poorten aan de achterzijde. Ook de middenconsole is gestroomlijnd. De elektrisch bediende schuifdeuren en de parkeerrem worden bediend via speciale knoppen.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-187723\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265613-scaled.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265613-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265613-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/aum_photo_20260611_265613-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Travel Assist biedt nu extra veiligheid: verkeerslichtherkenning. Het systeem herkent naderende verkeerslichten, past de snelheid aan en houdt de auto stil bij een rood licht.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Voeg daar nog de rijstrookwisselhulp op de snelweg en het ge\u00efntegreerde Emergency Assist-systeem aan toe \u2013 dat het voertuig bij een medisch noodgeval naar de vluchtstrook stuurt \u2013 en de Multivan en California bieden een reeks rijhulpsystemen die snelwegreizen echt serieus nemen.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p2\">Twee elektromotoren<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p2\">Het aanbod aan aandrijflijnen blijft ongewijzigd. De TDI (150 pk) en de TSI (204 pk) worden aangevuld met een topmodel: de eHybrid 4MOTION, die in 2025 werd ge\u00efntroduceerd en ongewijzigd terugkeert. Deze combineert een 1,5-liter turbobenzinemotor met twee elektromotoren \u2013 \u00e9\u00e9n per as \u2013 voor een gecombineerd vermogen van 180 kW (245 pk).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Hoewel de meeste plug-in hybride Volkswagens bij een facelift een grotere accucapaciteit krijgen, blijft de accu bij 19,7 kWh en biedt deze een emissievrije actieradius van maximaal 95 kilometer. Maar goed, de PHEV-versie van de Multivan en California is pas vorig jaar op de markt gekomen. DC-snelladen gaat tot 50 kW, terwijl AC-laden tot 11 kW gaat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">De stationaire airconditioning in de eHybrid-uitvoering kan nu tot acht uur lang ononderbroken draaien, een belangrijke verbetering voor iedereen die de California als echte camper gebruikt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">De nieuwe update vormt een weloverwogen overbrugging. De ID. Buzz is de elektrische toekomst. De Multivan en de California zijn het heden \u2013 en voor kopers die in hun busje willen slapen, een aanhanger willen trekken of 1.500 km naar Zuid-Frankrijk willen rijden zonder zich zorgen te maken over het opladen, biedt de eHybrid een antwoord op de meeste vragen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within VW Commercial Vehicles\u2019 range, the ID.
