Comparison with other Mercedes 4x4 motorhomes
1. Hymer ML-T 570 CrossOver
Length: 689 cm; width: 222 cm; height: 305 cm. Mercedes Sprinter 419 CDI, 190 PS, automatic 4x4 with reduction gearing. Maximum mass 4,100 kg. Two berths, with a third optional, and four seatbelts. It has rear single beds, a 120-litre freshwater tank, 100-litre wastewater tank and 133-litre refrigerator. More compact than the Xtura, with four travelling seats and a more conventional touring layout.
2. Hymer ML-T 580 CrossTrail
Length: 713 cm; width: 222 cm; height: 305 cm. Mercedes Sprinter 419 CDI, 190 PS and 4x4. Maximum mass 4,100 kg. Three berths and up to four travelling seats. Rear single beds, 120-litre freshwater tank, 100-litre wastewater tank and 133-litre refrigerator. Its CrossTrail specification includes raised suspension, underbody protection, all-terrain tyres, 320 Ah lithium capacity and a 6 kW diesel heater. It is 25 cm longer than the Xtura.
3. Yucon K-Peak 7.0 GD
Length: 697 cm; width: 202 cm; height: 287 cm. Mercedes Sprinter 190 PS, nine-speed automatic and 4x4. Maximum mass 4,100 kg. Two berths and two travelling seats. Longitudinal rear beds, approximately 100-litre freshwater and 70-litre wastewater tanks, 84-litre refrigerator and 300 Ah lithium battery. Its narrower panel-van body is 18 cm narrower than the Xtura.
4. CS Reisemobile Independent 4x4
Length: 593 cm; width: 203 cm; height: approximately 282 cm. Mercedes Sprinter 190 PS, nine-speed automatic and permanent all-wheel drive. Available at 3,500 or 4,100 kg. Two berths, with three or four travelling seats depending on configuration. Rear transverse bed, approximately 100-litre freshwater tank, 90-litre wastewater tank and 90-litre refrigerator. It is almost a metre shorter than the Xtura and is considerably easier to manoeuvre.
5. La Strada Regent S 4x4
Length: 593 cm; width: 204 cm; height: approximately 291.5 cm in 4x4 form. Mercedes Sprinter, with 190 PS and four-wheel drive available. Maximum mass 4,100 kg. Four travelling seats and two berths. Rear transverse bed measuring 198 x 144/119 cm, 100-litre freshwater tank, 70-litre wastewater tank and 75-litre compressor refrigerator. Its compact panel-van layout is very different from the Xtura's coachbuilt interior.
The Xtura's main distinction is its combination of a coachbuilt living area, 330 Ah lithium system, 145-litre freshwater capacity, Alde heating and 4x4 Mercedes chassis. It offers more living space and water capacity than the panel-van alternatives, but is also wider, taller and heavier. Its three travelling seats and 4,100 kg weight limit are important considerations when assessing payload and passenger requirements.
