Craftsmanship is evident throughout the interior, with high-quality cabinetry and a well-equipped galley kitchen that makes extended touring a breeze.

A versatile garage-layout motorhome for active families.
The Auto-Trail Imala 736G is a 7.25m motorhome built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, offering between 4 and 6 berths. It is defined by its large heated rear garage and transverse fixed bed, making it a specialist choice for users carrying significant outdoor gear. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it remains accessible to standard UK driving licence holders while providing a separate shower and full kitchen facilities.
- Cavernous rear garage with dual-sided access for bulky sports equipment.
- Transverse rear fixed double bed situated above the storage area.
- Front lounge social area featuring swivel cab seats.
- Choice of Hi-Line (over-cab bed) or Lo-Line exterior profiles.
- Fully equipped galley kitchen including oven, grill, and hob.
- Separate walk-in shower cubicle within the washroom.
Worth knowing: The 380kg payload requires careful management when the garage is fully loaded. At 7.25m in length, parking in standard spaces is often challenging. Hi-Line variants face increased wind resistance and height restrictions due to the 3.1m height.
Buying an Auto-Trail Imala 736G
Who it suits
- Active families who need to transport bicycles or bulky sports equipment securely.
- Couples who prefer a fixed rear bed and a separate social lounge area.
- Drivers restricted to a 3500kg MTPLM who still require a 7.25m vehicle.
Reasons to consider it
- British manufacturing quality with a focus on year-round insulation.
- The 'G' designation provides exceptional storage capacity rarely matched in this class.
- Flexible sleeping arrangements with the Hi-Line over-cab bed option.
What to check
- Confirm if the model is a Hi-Line or Lo-Line to ensure it meets your height and sleeping requirements.
- Inspect the garage seals and dual-access doors for smooth operation.
- Verify the exact weight of the vehicle with any fitted accessories to ensure the 380kg payload is sufficient.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 380kg; verify if optional extras have further reduced this margin. Check the specific berth count as this varies between 4 and 6 depending on the profile.

The Auto-Trail Imala 736G occupies a specific niche, balancing a 7.25m length with a 3500kg MTPLM. While the Benimar Tessoro and Swift Escape 674 offer slightly longer bodies at 7.42m and 7.41m respectively, the Imala 736G maintains a more compact footprint while providing a dedicated garage. The choice between these models often rests on whether the buyer prioritises the specific garage-access of the Imala or the additional length found in the Swift or Benimar alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership Essentials
- Utilise the Truma Combi system for efficient heating during winter touring.
- Make use of the swivel cab seats to maximise the front lounge social space.
- Monitor the weight of outdoor furniture stored in the garage to stay within the 3500kg limit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 380kg payload by over-loading the large rear garage.
- Underestimating the 7.25m length when navigating tight coastal routes.
Worth knowing: Height restrictions apply to Hi-Line models which stand at 3.1m.
