Volkswagen Grand California Lease Deals
Compare live Volkswagen Grand California lease deals below from an independent, whole of market broker. The Grand California is the only Volkswagen camper with a proper washroom, as the 600 or the longer 680. See the California, the Caddy California, or the rest of the Volkswagen range.
Why Lease the Grand California?
The Grand California is the point at which a Volkswagen camper stops being a van you can sleep in and becomes a motorhome. It is the only California with a washroom: a sealed wet cell, 840mm by 800mm, with a toilet, a shower and a fold-down basin. That one feature changes what you can do with the vehicle, because it means you are no longer planning your trips around where the facilities are.
It is also newly updated. UK order books for the 2027 model year opened in early October 2026, bringing an Atami Bamboo interior with matching wood-effect flooring, more storage, a fold-out table and a new Dune Special Edition.
600 or 680?
Two sizes, and they are genuinely different vehicles rather than one being a longer version of the other. The names are roughly the lengths in centimetres.
Grand California 600
5,980mm long, with a raised roof section that makes it the taller of the two. A transverse rear bed of 1,950mm by 1,400mm, plus an optional child bed in the roof with a 1.65m lying length. Listed at 3.5 tonnes.
Grand California 680
6,800mm long, with a super-high roof. A longitudinal rear bed of 2,000mm by 1,700mm, which is the most generous bed in any Volkswagen camper, plus a longer kitchen worktop and extra storage.
680 4MOTION
The 680 with all wheel drive, which is worth pricing if you use rough pitches, tracks or go away out of season.
Before you choose, there is one practical point worth checking that has nothing to do with the vehicle and everything to do with your licence. The 680 weighs more than 3.5 tonnes, with the 680 Dune listed at 3.88 tonnes. If you passed your driving test after 1997, your standard licence may not cover a vehicle that heavy and you may need an additional category. The 600 is listed at 3.5 tonnes. Check your own entitlement on the DVLA's website before you commit to the 680, because it is not something we can confirm for you, and it is much better found out now than later.
Inside the Grand California
The kitchen is a real one. Two burner gas hob, a sink with a fold-down tap, glass covers over both so the worktop is usable when you are not cooking, a worktop that extends to either side, and a pull-out 70 litre fridge with a freezer compartment.
The washroom holds a toilet, a shower and a fold-down washbasin, with shelves, a cabinet and a roof hatch for ventilation. Water capacity is 110 litres fresh and 90 litres waste, there is space for two 11kg gas bottles, and gas-blown air heating is standard, so the vehicle is usable outside the summer.
Both models seat four: two swivelling front seats and a two seat bench in the living area, with a dining table that seats four. Worth noting that four travel seats does not mean four berths. The 680 sleeps two, and the 600 sleeps two plus up to two children when the optional roof bed is fitted.
Engine, Off-Grid Pack and the Dune Edition
One engine across the range: a 2.0 TDI diesel with 163PS and 410Nm, driving through an eight speed automatic. There is no petrol and no hybrid version, which is the right call for a vehicle this heavy covering long distances. Front wheel drive is standard and 4MOTION all wheel drive is available on the 680.
New for the 2027 model year, the optional Off-Grid Package adds fitted solar panels and two 40Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries, which Volkswagen says gives 40 per cent more usable battery capacity. If you want to stay on pitches without hook-up, that is the option that makes it practical.
The Dune Special Edition, offered on each model, brings Ascot Grey paint, contrast black grained bumpers, 17 inch Lismore black alloys, Dune decals, Climatronic air conditioning, ambient lighting and LED headlights with automatic control. Our leasing guides cover term and mileage, and business leasing explains the position if it is going through a company.

Possibly, for the 680. It weighs more than 3.5 tonnes, with the 680 Dune listed at 3.88 tonnes, so a driver who passed their test after 1997 may need an additional licence category. The 600 is listed at 3.5 tonnes. Check your own entitlement with the DVLA before you commit.

LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same vehicle.
