Anyone who likes a little dust under their wheels and occasionally dreams of driving into the sunset has already found themselves faced with a dilemma: should they choose a rugged overland legend for expeditions to the ends of the earth, or a comfortable mini-camper for small but spontaneous escapades? On the one hand, we are tempted by strictly serious machines like the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser – real off-road gladiators with winches, tents and stature. On the other hand, there is the Volkswagen California eHybrid – a cross between a Zen-van and an engineered Swiss watch, which can brew your coffee in the morning and keep you warm in the evening when you fall asleep under the stars. Half overlander, half van ... usable every day.
