Its 7.19m length is shorter than the Swift Escape 694 and Auto-Trail F-Line F72, yet it maintains a high 165BHP output. While the Sun Living focuses on space-saving features like the hide-away bathroom, alternatives may offer different lounge configurations or longer body lengths within the same weight class. The choice depends on whether the buyer prioritises the specific Adria-Mobil group construction and the 515kg payload capacity.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
