Introduces new Expression line of motorhomes by Pilote
Pilote, a renowned manufacturer of high-end motorhomes, has announced the launch of a new budget range, consisting of ten models. The new line-up includes five low-profile models and three van conversions, marking a departure from the company's traditionally premium offerings.
Leading the van conversion range is the 6.99m-long 696U, featuring a U-shaped rear lounge that converts into a drop-down bed. The 696U also boasts a spacious washroom and a 32-inch TV, with room above for additional storage. A separate seat can be found just rear of the habitation door, above a boot locker.
The low-profile models will be available in various sizes, including a 6m-long French bed model, island bed, and fixed single bed models at 7m and 7.5m long. These models will cater to different preferences, offering a range of sleeping arrangements.
The new budget range will be built on Citroën bases and utilise modular construction for cost efficiency. This approach is expected to help keep prices competitive while maintaining the quality Pilote is known for.
In addition to the new budget range, Pilote has expanded its dealer network in preparation for the launch. Dealers such as IH Motorhomes in Pontefract, Tamar Caravans, Caledonian Campers, Durham Caravan Centre, and Salop Leisure have joined the Pilote family.
For those seeking a more luxurious experience, Pilote offers the Expression range, which includes the same models as the budget range but with additional features. The Lux Packs offer optional extras in the cab, including a 10-inch screen on the dash, GPS, and automatic air conditioning (Lux Pack 2), and a leather steering wheel, a technical dash, and steering wheel controls (Lux Pack 1).
Pilote's success in the motorhome market is evident, with sales of its Fiat-based van conversions rising sharply, from 184 in 2015 to 1151 in 2020. The company's commitment to innovation and quality has clearly resonated with consumers.
The new season also brings exciting news for Pilote fans. The V633M, a drop-down bed model with a higher than usual 2.83m-high roof for standing headroom, is set to launch. Moreover, the season will see the release of two Ford-based low-profiles and a campervan with a flexible bed setup.
