The Auto-Trail Imala 730 Hi-Line is a British-built motorhome featuring a popular island bed and centre washroom layout. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM, it accommodates between 4 and 6 people.

Buying an Auto-Trail Imala 730 Hi-Line
Who it suits
- Families requiring up to 6 berths without sacrificing a permanent rear bed.
- Tourers who prefer a separate shower cubicle and a well-equipped galley kitchen.
- Drivers comfortable navigating a vehicle with a 7.26m length and 3.1m height.
Reasons to consider it
- The island bed layout provides a residential feel with easy access from both sides.
- The Hi-Line profile adds significant headroom and extra sleeping space.
- It offers a 380kg payload on a standard 3500kg MTPLM chassis.
What to check
- Inspect the condition of the high-quality cabinetry and neutral upholstery.
- Test the operation of the Truma Combi heating and hot water system.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail IMALA 730 HI-LINE | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.26 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
| Auto-Trail Expedition C71 | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.25 m | £52,000 to £68,000 |

The Auto-Trail Imala 730 Hi-Line occupies a specific niche for buyers who want a permanent island bed alongside the high-capacity sleeping options of a Hi-Line over-cab. While alternatives like the Swift Escape 674 or Benimar Tessoro offer similar 6 berth capacities, they do so with longer body lengths of 7.41m and 7.42m respectively. The Imala 730 maintains a slightly more compact 7.26m footprint while retaining a 3500kg MTPLM, though buyers must balance the convenience of the island bed against the 380kg payload limit.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel captain's chairs to maximise the lounge space when parked.
- Monitor tyre pressures regularly to ensure stability for the 3500kg MTPLM.
- Regularly service the Fiat Ducato chassis to maintain the refined driving experience.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 380kg payload by over-loading the large under-bed storage area.
- Assuming standard parking spaces will accommodate the 7.26m length.
Worth knowing: The 3.1m height requires awareness of low bridges and overhanging branches.
