About the Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto
The Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto represents a modern approach to the slimline coachbuilt motorhome, blending the agility of a smaller vehicle with the luxury expected from a premium British brand. Built on the reliable Ford Transit chassis, this model features the highly desirable 165BHP engine upgrade paired with a smooth automatic gearbox, making long-distance touring across the UK and Europe effortless. Its 'narrow-bodied' design makes navigating tight country lanes much less daunting than traditional wide-body motorhomes.
Inside, the 690T excels with a popular twin-bed layout at the rear, which can often be converted into a large transverse double. The clever use of space includes a stylish kitchenette, a functional washroom with integrated shower features, and a comfortable forward lounge that makes the most of the swivelling captain's chairs. High-quality cabinetry and contemporary soft furnishings create a bright, airy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.

What defines the Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto?
The Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto is a slimline, low-profile coachbuilt motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis. It is designed for agility with a 2.24m width and features a high-specification 165BHP engine with an automatic transmission. The layout prioritises rear fixed twin beds and a spacious garage, making it suitable for two to three people seeking a modern, narrow-bodied touring vehicle.
- Ford Transit chassis with a 165BHP engine and automatic gearbox.
- Slimline low-profile coachbuilt body measuring 2.24m in width.
- Rear fixed twin bed layout situated over a large garage.
- Whale heating system and gas/electric water heating.
- Modern interior featuring Moyet Oak finish and LED lighting.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM requires careful monitoring of the 520kg payload when fully loaded. The narrow-bodied design results in a slimmer central aisle than standard coachbuilt models.
Buying an Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto
Who it suits
- • Couples who prefer the ease of driving a narrower vehicle on rural routes.
- • Tourists who require a high-performance engine for hill climbs and overtaking.
- • Active users needing a large garage for bikes and bulky storage.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 165BHP engine and automatic gearbox provide a refined driving experience.
- • The slimline profile improves handling and accessibility on tighter UK roads.
- • High-quality interior finishes including the Moyet Oak cabinetry and full LED lighting.
What to check
- • Verify the operation of the touchscreen dash and smartphone integration.
- • Inspect the rear garage dimensions to ensure it fits your specific outdoor equipment.
- • Check the conversion mechanism for the rear twin beds if you intend to use them as a double.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific payload requirements for your intended gear, as the 520kg limit must cover all passengers and equipment. The 6.98m length may affect parking options in standard bays despite the narrow width.
Compare the Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.98 m | £68,000 to £78,500 |
| Auto-Trail EXCEL 675 B | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.75 m | £62,000 to £78,000 |
| Auto-Trail Excel 620S 165BHP Auto | 3 | 3500 kg | 6.20 m | £68,000 to £76,500 |
The Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto occupies a specific niche for those who want the power of a 165BHP engine and the convenience of an automatic gearbox in a narrow-bodied frame. While it offers a generous 520kg payload for its class, buyers must weigh the benefits of the slimline 2.24m width against the narrower internal aisle. Compared to alternatives like the Swift Voyager 540, it offers fewer berths but focuses on a premium twin-bed layout for couples. It remains a competitive choice for those prioritising driving dynamics and garage storage within a 3500kg weight limit.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 520kg payload efficiently by distributing heavy items low and towards the centre.
- Regularly test the Whale heating system on both gas and electric sources.
- Ensure the 6.98m length is accounted for when booking ferry crossings or campsites.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-packing the large rear garage.
- • Assuming standard coachbuilt width when navigating tight spaces; this model is narrower at 2.24m.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact payload of your specific unit, as optional extras will reduce the 520kg allowance.
Alternatives to the Auto-Trail Excel 690T 165BHP Auto
The Excel 675 B offers a shorter length of 6.75m for those seeking a more compact footprint while maintaining a 3500kg MTPLM.
Auto-Trail Excel 620S 165BHP AutoThe Excel 620S 165BHP Auto provides the same high-performance engine and automatic gearbox in a significantly shorter 6.2m body.
