The 2.0 l common rail TDI engines. A combination of small displacement, turbocharging
and direct injection makes the TDI engines exceptionally efficient. Precise
injection under high pressure means that the fuel burns evenly so that the engines
deliver high output yet have low consumption. Low maintenance costs also contribute
to the economy of these engines. A 2.0 l TDI engine with three different power outputs
and a 2.0 l 132 kW 3) BiTDI are available for the California.
Ramp angle: 14°. The more leeway this gives you, the more leeway you have when
looking for camping sites. The California can even cope virtually effortlessly with crests
having a ramp angle of up to 14°. Measured with standard equipment and a full load.
Hill-climbing ability: 37°. Serpentine
bends and steep inclines of up to 37° are
