A spacious Frontier range motorhome for long-term touring.
The Auto-Trail Cherokee is a premium motorhome from the Frontier range, measuring 7.45m in length and offering between 2 and 6 berths. It is characterised by its fixed French bed layout, a full-width rear washroom, and a substantial 850kg payload. Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, it provides a robust platform for extended trips, though its 4250kg MTPLM requires specific driving licence entitlements.
- Fixed French bed and front lounge layout options.
- Available in High Line over-cab or Low Line storage profiles.
- Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 4250kg MTPLM.
- Generous 850kg payload for touring equipment.
- Length of 7.45m and width of 2.35m.
Worth knowing: The 4250kg MTPLM typically requires a C1 category driving licence. Fuel economy is lower than smaller campervan alternatives. External dimensions may make parking in restricted spaces difficult.

Compare the Auto-Trail Cherokee with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Cherokee | 6 | 4250 kg | 7.45 m | £28,000 to £75,000 |
| Swift Kon Tiki | 6 | 4250 kg | 7.30 m | £35,000 to £120,000 |
| Bailey Approach | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.45 m | £32,000 to £58,000 |
The Auto-Trail Cherokee occupies a specific niche for those prioritising internal space and payload, offering 850kg of carrying capacity on a 7.45m chassis. While alternatives like the Bailey Approach match its length at a lower 3500kg MTPLM, the Cherokee uses its higher 4250kg weight limit to provide a more robust build and higher standard equipment levels. It remains a cornerstone choice for those who have the necessary C1 licence and value a permanent French bed layout over the lighter, more compact alternatives in the 3500kg class.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the 850kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the 7.45m length.
- Regularly check the seals on the panoramic skylight to maintain the airy interior.
- Make use of the swivel captain's chairs to maximise the front lounge space when parked.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the 2.35m width when navigating narrow rural lanes.
- Exceeding the 4250kg MTPLM if heavy aftermarket accessories are fitted.
Worth knowing: The 3.05m height requires careful route planning to avoid low bridges.
