Leutkirch, July 31, 2024 - Etrusco is setting new trends with the new Ford-based V 6.8 SCF van model for the upcoming travel season and is expanding its range of V models in terms of standard equipment and optional features. At Etrusco, vans stand for narrow semi-integrated vehicles that perfectly combine the maneuverability of a panel van with the comfort of a semi-integrated motorhome. The focus is on the newly designed seating area with a seating group opposite. The motorhome manufacturer will present the new model for the first time at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf in 2024.
Compact design meets maximum comfort
The vans on Ford chassis meet a wide range of travel requirements and offer maximum comfort in a compact space. The van models combine stylish elegance with Italian charm and are perfect for trend-conscious globetrotters looking for a vehicle with an attractive price-performance ratio. Thanks to a width of just 2.14 meters and a length of just under 7 meters, they are agile and dynamic companions that have everything you need for active travel.
When planning the new model, Etrusco drew on its experience in the Vans and semi-integrated segment and presents a floor plan for the V 6.8 SCF that is based on the tried-and-tested layouts of the semi-integrated range. The new V model also benefits from effective motorization. It is already powered by a 130 hp (96 kW) engine as standard.
Vanlife: Sophisticated interior design
The interior design of the new van model is as cosy, stylish and functional as ever. The open visual axis of the face-to-face area creates a spacious atmosphere and seamlessly integrates the living and sleeping areas. The comfortable seating area and the multifunctional kitchenette with XXL refrigerator and a capacity of 135 L including freezer compartment round off the overall concept.
The newly designed Vario bathroom offers flexibility and enough space for pampering moments on the go. The cleverly designed space can be transformed from a regular bathroom with washbasin and toilet into a fully-fledged shower cubicle in just a few simple steps - so you can start the day feeling refreshed.
In the rear, the new van model is equipped with two single beds that can be joined together to form a comfortable sleeping area. With a bed length of 197 centimeters, even tall travelers will find enough space.
Stylish accents with high-quality equipment
The modern design line from Etrusco can also be found in the V 6.8 SCF: as in all van models, all overhead lockers and kitchen drawers are equipped with high-quality soft-close systems. The spacious garage offers plenty of space for camping essentials and accessories. Indirect LED lighting emphasizes the contemporary ambience. Numerous USB charging ports further enhance user-friendliness.
Availability of “Complete Selection” and assistance systems
New as standard on all V models from Etrusco are advanced assistance systems that meet the latest safety standards, such as Lane Keeping Assist, Emergency Brake Assist, traffic sign recognition, front parking sensors and a reversing camera at the rear. Customers also receive a multifunction display including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto function as standard.
In addition, Etrusco now offers a window in the T-hood as a new option, which provides even more light and a more open feeling of space. These enhancements are available immediately for all new van models and underline the brand's commitment to continuously responding to customer suggestions and offering customers maximum comfort even in the compact, narrow semi-integrated segment.
The “all-round carefree package” is available on request for all Ford models in the van range. The “Complete Selection” package includes features such as a design package, 16-inch alloy wheels, framed windows and an awning. TV, roof air conditioning and solar system preparation round off the package.
The new model can be configured both at authorized dealers and directly via the Etrusco website and is expected to be available from autumn 2024. The starting price for the new van model is EUR 58,999.
