Is the Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto a capable slimline motorhome?
The Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto is a compact, three-berth slimline coachbuilt motorhome designed for manoeuvrability. Built on a Ford Transit chassis with a powerful 170BHP engine and automatic gearbox, it measures 6.2m in length and 2.24m in width. Its defining feature is a fixed transverse rear bed situated over a large garage, offering a balance of living comfort and significant storage capacity within a 3500kg weight limit.
- Ford Transit chassis with 170BHP EcoBlue engine and automatic transmission.
- Slimline coachbuilt body measuring 2.24m in width.
- Fixed transverse rear double bed layout with three berths in total.
- Large rear garage with dual-side access for storage.
- MTPLM of 3500kg with a payload of 560kg.
Worth knowing: The transverse bed design requires one occupant to climb over the other to exit. The narrower body width may result in a more restricted interior aisle compared to standard coachbuilts.
Buying an Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto
Who it suits
- Active couples who require a large garage for sports equipment or electric bikes.
- Drivers who prefer a narrower vehicle for navigating rural or coastal roads.
- Tourers seeking the convenience of an automatic transmission and a high-output engine.
Reasons to consider it
- The 170BHP engine provides ample power for hill climbs and motorway driving.
- A 560kg payload is generous for a vehicle of this size and weight class.
- The Truma Combi 4E system provides reliable heating and hot water for year-round use.
What to check
- Confirm the operation of the 8-inch touchscreen and smartphone integration.
- Verify the ease of access to the rear garage from both external doors.
- Test the conversion of the third berth in the living area.
- Inspect the Moyet Oak cabinetry and soft furnishings for condition.
Worth knowing: The high position of the rear bed may be difficult for users with limited mobility to access. Interior space is narrower than traditional coachbuilts to allow for the 2.24m external width.
Compare the Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.20 m | £68,000 to £76,000 |
| Auto-Trail EXCEL 675 B | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.75 m | £62,000 to £78,000 |

The Auto-Trail Excel 620G 170BHP Auto occupies a specific niche between traditional van conversions and full-sized coachbuilts. It offers more internal living space and better insulation than many van conversions, such as the Expedition 68, while remaining more agile than standard-width motorhomes. While the transverse bed layout is a compromise for some, it enables the inclusion of a substantial garage that is rare in vehicles of this length. Potential buyers should weigh the benefits of the powerful Ford drivetrain against the narrower interior aisle.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the dual-side access to the garage to organise heavy items evenly across the axle.
- The 6.2m length makes this model suitable for many standard parking spaces, but the 2.88m height still requires overhead clearance checks.
- Regularly service the 6-speed automatic transmission as part of the Ford chassis maintenance schedule.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the rear garage beyond the remaining payload capacity after passengers and fluids are accounted for.
- Assuming all Ford Transit-based motorhomes have the same 170BHP output; this specific model is the upgraded version.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM is standard, but always verify the specific vehicle weight if aftermarket accessories have been fitted.
