Caravan insurance policyholders thinking of switching to a motorhome will be able to get a glimpse of a new mobile home from Volkswagen when it is unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The firm has released details of its new Caravelle people carrier and California campervan ahead of the show when they will be properly displayed.

Volkswagen has modified the vans to ensure they are now fitted with the latest technology and safety features combined with greater fuel efficiency and improved CO2 output.

The external design of the vehicles has also been revamped to include more aerodynamic door mirrors, chrome side trims and a new front using the latest Volkswagen passenger car design for the grille and headlights.

With a new range of quieter, more economical TDI engines, the models also benefit from greater refinement.

Volkswagen commented: "No other manufacturer can compete with Volkswagen's rich heritage of iconic people carriers and campervans, and the enhancements to the latest generation of these models offer the latest technology, comfort and safety features, with lower emissions and improved fuel economy by approximately ten per cent across the range."

The California mobile home is equipped with features including a movable and folding worktop/table, a two-burner hob and a sink with a drawer and cutlery tray underneath.
