View gallery - 21 images Hymer already offers a 4x4 option on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based campers like its Grand Canyon S camper van and ML-T 570 compact motorhome, and now it's going. If you have dreamed about a life on the road, where the opportunities are endless yet the luxuries of home are all close at hand, then you already imagined the glorious Grand Canyon S 4×4 CrossOver. The washroom is necessarily quite compact. Though very neat-looking, it isn’t a basin for holding water whilst you wash; it’s more of a sluice, down which your aqua disappears into the 85-litre waste tank. There are high-level LED strips throughout, plus three ceiling clusters in the central area but, again, no reading lights in the lounge or bedroom. Several visual highlights, such as the all-terrain tyres, further emphasise the striking look of the vehicle. The test ’van was shod with standard summer rubber and, however sophisticated the 4x4 system, without appropriate tyres you’re going nowhere. Returning to the lounge, the rear travel seats are well-shaped and have adjustable headrests. Der Hymer Grand Canyon S zeigt viele Stärken und kaum Schwächen. Speaking of which, there’s no spare wheel and, if going on an expedition, we’d recommend one. All the Benz action doesn’t end there either. The Sprinter is quite narrow for crossways sleeping, so Hymer has raised the bed to window height, and added discreet, streamlined pods at each side (unmodified Sprinters are 4cm narrower), which contribute hugely to sleeping comfort. For daytime illumination there’s a rooflight over the lounge, one in the washroom and one over the bed. It’s wide, too, being 1.90m by 1.30m. Externally, the Grand Canyon S is (in 4x4 guise) such an imposing beast it’s easy to forget it’s a sub-six-metre, narrow ’van and interior arrangements have to reflect this. Staying warm is something any off-grid and off-road travel vehicle should include as standard, and so the Grand Canyon is equipped with an insulated floor, windows, and features a 6-kW diesel warm air and water boiler with electric bar heater. Behind kitchen and washroom, with a curtain for privacy, is the bed. With 16-inch steel rims and lugged AT tires, the Grand Canyon seems promising to say the least. Ensconced on the swivelled cab seats, the cab is rather drab, with the charcoal headlining matching the fascia, leather seats and floor covering.

Let's face it, off-road-ready motorhomes will surely end up costing you an arm and a leg to buy, but also to . There’s no diff lock, as an Electronic Traction System brakes individual wheels as and when required. Where to try the four-wheel drive? Let’s face it, off-road-ready motorhomes will surely end up costing you an arm and a leg to buy, but also to own. A rugged 4x4 campervan, the Grand Canyon S 4x4 is well finished and well specified, but being compact brings compromises in the living accommodation, though Hymer has overcome the problem of bed length admirably. The cab, though austere-looking, is comfortable and practical (when you’ve worked out the controls). The cab features pivoting seats that allow the central living space to transform into a dinner-party-ready area. If your licence allows, therefore, it might well be worth buying an uprated 3,880kg or 4,100kg version, as the payload would then cope easily with the extra weight of the 4x4 system (a hefty 146kg) and rising roof, although even plated at 3,500kg, the payload is still reasonable, at around 450kg (including a number of options but allowing for just 20 litres of water). Length: 5.93m Basis ist der Mercedes Sprinter, Preis ab 61.000 Euro Mechanisches Aufstelldach kostet 4000 Euro extra Bad mit guten Lösungen auf wenig Raum The gearbox (a seven-speed, torque converter automatic) has paddles for manual changing situated on the back of the leather-bound steering wheel, which also carries radio, information and cruise control buttons. The kitchen has no oven or grill and the linear unit, whilst beautifully crafted, is quite bijou, with a very small sink combined with the two-burner hob under glass lids. There’s no key, just a starter button, and the ‘handbrake’ is another button on the fascia. A shower curtain protects the woodwork, but we’d have hoped for a swing-wall, or similar, of which examples abound in the wider Erwin Hymer Group. But to have a solid idea of how Hymer likes to operate, I've selected a campervan that seems to boast just what folks want and need. Full profile, California residents: Do Not Sell My Info • More Info. Think Hymer and A-class models spring to mind, though for at least half a dozen years a selection of high-specification panel van conversions have borne the Hymercar moniker. In the test campervan, at the very rear, a folding outdoor table was strapped to the offside, and two camp chairs stood in the aisle behind the gas locker on the nearside, all being optional extras. Gearchanging in automatic is quite smooth and, using the paddles manually was fun, though seven speeds felt a bit much to cope with. The lesson? Removable hooks share these slots, so, for once, there’s somewhere for tea towels, etc. There is also no overcab storage locker, which makes for a much easier walk-through to and from the cab.

Combined with the customary level of Hymer comfort, the "CrossOver" editions of the Hymer ML-T 570 and Grand Canyon S ensure a truly magical travel experience - even when off-roading and far away from luxurious camping grounds. 0:00 / 10:37 £120,000 Camper Van Tour : HYMER Grand Canyon S 4X4 Cross Over MOTAHOLIC 110K subscribers Subscribe 2.9K 136K views 7 months ago This is a fantastic looking vehicle all set up. Leather seats (a £1,580 option) are multi-adjustable, firm and very comfortable, with twin armrests apiece, and the driving position and visibility are excellent. There are three large soft-closing drawers, one with a large slide-out cutlery tray and two overhead cupboards, plus another below the fridge (a 90-litre compressor type with freezer compartment). There’s no TV point, and just one mains socket and one for 12V. Oddly, given that Hymer’s Mercedes-based coachbuilts inside Travelworld’s showroom had them, there are no cab reading lights. At the same time, gear ratios are reduced by 42%, removing the need for a low-ratio box or crawler gears. Since off-grid capability seems to be the name of the game for this Hymer model, I'll stick to features that bring the most comfort when traveling on the open road. A curtain seems a little old-fashioned for a ’van of this calibre and price. A bit of a nomad at heart (being born in Europe and raised in several places in the USA), Cristian is enamored with travel trailers, campers and bikes. Company Registered in England No. For another £3,520 there’s a rising roof option with double bed, making the Grand Canyon into a real four-berth, four-seater – though bear in mind this adds another 120kg to the vehicle’s weight.

Switching to 4x4, the ETC juddered away ineffectually with no forward progress possible, so, somewhat ignominiously, we were reduced to reversing off downhill. Below the bed, at floor level on the nearside, and not that easy to access even with the bed raised, are a modest wardrobe and two cupboards. Across from the kitchen, the team at Hymer designed and included a bathroom with a cassette toilet inclusive of a level indicator, shower area, and a folding solid-surface washbasin. GB 638 3492 15, Price from £56,210 (RWB model) As for the interior living space of this off-roader, it brings with it all the necessities you could ask for in a four-person vehicle. Gross weight: 3,500kg. The tabletop folds out to double its size, but we thought it still modest in area and too far from the driver’s seat but our Road Test Editor loves it because it folds away so neatly. Very noticeable, whether entering the Grand Canyon S 4x4 through the back, side or cab doors is its height. The steering is direct and quite meaty, and the suspension is superb, coping easily with potholes and rough surfaces, with none of the wallowing experienced in earlier Sprinters. • By: In the "Camping Life Trophy 2022" readers poll by the AutoZeitung, the HYMER Grand Canyon S CrossOver was voted by the readers in the category of panel vans/camping buses over 5.30m in length.

This is undoubtedly useful when swivelling the cab seats, as there is no lever to get in the way. Sure, you may think that a camper van isn’t of any interest to you, but, for a starting price of €109,990 ($130,333 at current exchange rates), you can bet your bottom dollar that Grand Canyon S CrossOver is equipped with everything you’ll need to survive some decently harsh environments. As mentioned, this is adequately long because of the side pods; if you don’t specify the optional window in the nearside pod, you’d even have a further couple of inches. ADAC Testergebnis, Fotos, technische Daten, Preise. The macho stance of the Sprinter 4x4 is accentuated by its relatively modest length and width (just under 6m, by a slim 2.06m wide), compared with a height approaching 3m. Overall, a smart, modern design. The cab is dominated by an (optional) MBUX 10.25in touchscreen, controlling the multimedia and a very clear reversing camera (useful, with no interior mirror). We found the table splits opinion – it’s wall-hung, with a diagonal supporting strut to keep it firm without interfering with passengers’ legs. Base vehicle: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter A 4kW Truma Combi situated under the travel seat bench, provides heating and hot water, although this test model had the optional 6kw dual-fuel version. Over it, is Hymer’s elegant version of the tip-up/drop-down washbasin.

The 163bhp engine feels powerful (143bhp is standard, 190bhp also offered), though a little ponderous on take-off, as if the ’van is heavier than it actually is. The tap (which sensibly swivels) doubles as the showerhead, so the basin must be lowered whilst showering and there’s no wall-mounted showerhead bracket – so, hold it or put it into the basin. For 2020 that name disappears and now there’s the entry-level Free range, followed by the Hymer Camper Vans comprising five Fiats and two Mercedes models. On the offside, under the foot of the mattress, are two top-accessed shallow cubbies. The bed is quite high off the floor, so there’s a folding plastic step. There’s no doubt you’ve seen a Hymer vehicle on the road during your travels, but it’s possible you just didn’t notice or thought they might be some new Airstream or Winnebago RV.
