Is the Auto-Trail Excel 620G 165BHP Auto a capable slimline motorhome?
The Auto-Trail Excel 620G 165BHP Auto is a compact, narrow-bodied motorhome built on a Ford chassis. It combines a high-output engine with a 2.24m width, designed for easier navigation of restricted roads. Featuring a transverse fixed bed and a large rear garage, it offers a 560kg payload within a 3500kg MTPLM, making it accessible to all standard UK driving licence holders.
- 165BHP Ford EcoBlue engine with 6-speed automatic transmission
- Slimline 2.24m body width for improved road handling
- Large heated rear garage with dual-side access points
- 9-inch Zenec touch-screen with motorhome-specific navigation
- 3500kg MTPLM allowing use with a standard B-category licence
Worth knowing: The narrow-bodied design results in less interior floor space than full-width coachbuilts. Sleeping capacity is limited to 3 berths despite the large storage volume. The 165BHP automatic configuration is positioned at a higher price point within the range.
Buying an Auto-Trail Excel 620G 165BHP Auto
Who it suits
- Couples or small groups of three who prioritise engine power and automatic driving ease.
- Drivers who frequently navigate narrow coastal or rural lanes where a 2.24m width is advantageous.
- Active tourers requiring a large, heated garage for sports equipment or bicycles.
Reasons to consider it
- High power-to-weight ratio from the 165BHP engine for confident hill climbs.
- Generous 560kg payload for a vehicle of this size.
- Modern interior aesthetic with a high-specification kitchen and contemporary finish.
What to check
- Confirm the specific layout meets your needs as it features a transverse fixed bed.

- Test the 9-inch Zenec head unit and motorhome-specific sat-nav functionality.

Worth knowing: Interior floor space is narrower than traditional coachbuilt models. The 165BHP automatic specification carries a premium price compared to manual or lower-powered versions.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Excel 620G 165BHP Auto | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.20 m | £68,000 to £76,500 |

The Auto-Trail Excel 620G 165BHP Auto sits in a competitive space, offering a balance between the agility of a slimline body and the performance of a high-output automatic powertrain. While it shares the 6.2m length and 3500kg MTPLM with other Excel variants, its specific 165BHP engine and garage-focused layout distinguish it for those carrying heavy gear. Alternatives like the Excel 675 B offer more length, while the 170BHP variant provides a marginal power increase, leaving the 620G 165BHP as a middle-ground option for power and compact dimensions.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 560kg payload effectively by distributing weight between the garage and living areas.
- Regularly check the 6-speed automatic transmission as part of the Ford chassis service schedule.
- Make use of the dual-side garage access to organise heavy items for easier retrieval.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the large garage allows for more than 3 occupants; the vehicle is strictly limited to 3 berths.
- Overlooking the 2.24m width when transitioning from a standard car to a motorhome.
Worth knowing: Payload must be managed carefully if the garage is loaded to its maximum capacity. The 2.88m height requires awareness of low bridges and overhanging branches.
