Volkswagen Electrifies Multivan and California with New Hybrid All-Wheel Drive
Table of Contents
The electric Multivan and New California Ehybrid 4Motion achieve electric ranges of approximately 95 kilometers, combining a plug-in hybrid front-wheel drive with an electric rear axle.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is expanding its electric vehicle lineup with a new plug-in hybrid all-wheel drive system for the Multivan and California models. The efficient system combines electric driving with extended range and enhanced traction. The plug-in hybrid drive delivers a system output of 180 kW (245 hp).
The hybrid system integrates a 1.5 TSI EVO2 four-cylinder engine, an electric motor on the front axle, and a second electric motor on the rear axle.A new 19.7 kWh lithium-ion battery powers the electric motors, providing electric ranges of up to 95 kilometers for the Multivan and up to 91 kilometers for the New California. The Multivan Ehybrid 4Motion and the New California Ehybrid 4Motion are now available for order in Switzerland.
Innovative Icons
The second-generation plug-in hybrid drive transforms the multivan and California into primarily electric vehicles for daily use. For longer journeys, the economical drive provides a important overall range. A key innovation is the rear axle, driven purely electrically by a second electric motor.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has strategically combined the plug-in hybrid drive with an all-wheel-drive system to ensure optimal traction for various conditions. The Multivan Ehybrid 4Motion starts at CHF 64,175. The New California, equipped with an extended body and two sleeping places, is available as an EHYBRID 4Motion starting at CHF 60,685.The New California Ehybrid with two additional sleeping places in the interior (from the “Beach Tour” trim) starts at CHF 64,445.
Three Efficient Drive Sources in EHYBRID 4Motion
The plug-in hybrid drive in the Multivan and california represents a new system of the second EHYBRID generation. The new models utilize a 1.5 TSI EVO2 turbocharged engine. Features such as a VTG turbocharger with variable turbine geometry, high-pressure injection at 350 bar, and the TSI EVO combustion process contribute to the engine’s efficiency. The 130 kW (177 hp) four-cylinder engine achieves high efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The gasoline engine on the front axle is paired with an 85 kW (115 hp) electric motor integrated with a direct-shift gearbox (DSG) into a plug-in hybrid module. The DSG (DQ400E EVO) was specifically designed as a plug-in hybrid transmission, enabling a more efficient hybrid strategy.A second 100 kW (136 hp) electric motor powers the rear axle. both front and rear motors are permanent synchronous machines. The 1.5 TSI EVO2 and the electric motors produce a
