The Benimar Primero P331 sits in a competitive 5.99m coachbuilt segment. While it shares its length and 3500kg MTPLM with the Benivan 144 P and Primero P201, it distinguishes itself with an end kitchen and drop-down bed layout. Compared to the Mobilvetta K Yacht T Line 59, which reaches prices up to 95000, the P331 offers a more accessible price range of 52000 to 68000 while maintaining a high 640kg payload. The choice between these models typically rests on the preference for a coachbuilt versus an A-class body style or specific internal storage requirements.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 640kg payload carefully to maintain stability on the short wheelbase.
- Regularly clean the high-gloss interior surfaces with non-abrasive materials to preserve the Mediterranean aesthetic.
- Make use of the rear-view camera when parking, despite the compact 5.99m length.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overlooking the height clearance of 2.89m when navigating low bridges or fuel stations.
- Assuming all P-series models have identical external storage capacities.
Worth knowing: Payload figures can be affected by the installation of aftermarket accessories.
