About the Rapido 696F 140BHP
The Rapido 696F 140BHP stands as a testament to French craftsmanship, offering a sophisticated low-profile motorhome experience that doesn't compromise on space. Built on the reliable Fiat Ducato chassis, this model is renowned for its 'Ultimate' styling and the popular island bed configuration.

It strikes a perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency and living comfort, making it a top choice for couples and small families alike.
Inside, the 696F shines with its clever 'face-to-face' lounge layout, which creates an open, social atmosphere that feels significantly larger than its footprint suggests.

Is the Rapido 696F 140BHP a practical choice for touring?
The Rapido 696F 140BHP is a 7.49m low-profile motorhome designed for two to four people, featuring a popular island bed and face-to-face lounge. Built on a 3500kg Fiat Ducato chassis, it balances a spacious interior with a 140BHP engine, though buyers must manage a 435kg payload carefully.
- Island bed measuring 160 x 194 cm with electric height adjustment functionality.
- Face-to-face smart lounge layout featuring a folding table for social space.
- Fiat Ducato 2.2L 140BHP Euro 6D Final engine as standard.
- Dual-partitioning washroom system creating a private rear en-suite.
- Heated and illuminated rear garage for secure equipment storage.
Worth knowing: The 435kg payload may be restrictive when travelling with four occupants and full equipment. A length of 7.49m combined with a long rear overhang requires careful low-speed manoeuvring.
Buying a Rapido 696F 140BHP
Who it suits
- • Couples seeking a permanent XL island bed and a separate shower cubicle.
- • Small families who require the flexibility of a drop-down bed and four berths.
- • Tourers who prefer the open social feel of a face-to-face lounge layout.
Reasons to consider it
- • High-quality French cabinetry and refined upholstery finishes throughout.
- • The 140BHP engine provides a balanced ratio of power to fuel economy for European touring.
- • Large heated garage storage is ideal for carrying outdoor gear in various climates.
What to check
- • Verify the operation of the electric height adjustment on the rear island bed.
- • Test the dual-partitioning washroom doors to ensure a secure en-suite configuration.
- • Check the panoramic skyview roof for seal integrity and smooth blind operation.
- • Confirm the presence of the automatic gas inverter and crash sensor for legal transit use.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity is 435kg; owners should weigh the vehicle when fully loaded for four people. The 7.49m length and 2.35m width may limit access to some smaller rural campsites.
Compare the Rapido 696F 140BHP with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rapido 696F 140BHP | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.49 m | £62,000 to £88,000 |
| Rapido 666F 140BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.49 m | £65,000 to £92,000 |
| Auto-Trail F-Line F70 165BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.32 m | £58,000 to £76,000 |
The Rapido 696F 140BHP occupies a premium position in the low-profile market, priced between 62000 and 88000. While the Auto-Trail F-Line and Elddis Evolution alternatives offer higher engine outputs or lower entry prices, the Rapido focuses on interior volume and the specific 160cm wide island bed. It maintains a 3500kg MTPLM across its 7.49m length, a specification shared with the Rapido 666F, though the latter swaps the island bed for twin singles. Choosing between these models depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Rapido interior aesthetic over the higher horsepower found in Ford-based competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the heated garage for drying wet gear to prevent moisture build-up in the main cabin.
- Regularly check the gas inverter crash sensor to ensure heating can be used safely while driving.
- Adjust the electric island bed height to optimise garage storage space versus bedroom headroom.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 435kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories like bike racks or solar arrays.
- • Misjudging the 7.49m length when reversing, due to the significant rear overhang.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM means this vehicle can be driven on a standard UK Category B licence.
Alternatives to the Rapido 696F 140BHP
Select this model if you prefer twin single beds over the island bed layout while maintaining the 7.49m length and 3500kg MTPLM.
