Is the Autocruise Tempo a practical choice for couples?
The Autocruise Tempo is a compact 5.4m motorhome designed for couples or small families, offering 2 to 3 berths and a 3300kg MTPLM. Built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis, it balances manoeuvrability with a 600kg payload, making it suitable for drivers without a C1 licence.
- Compact 5.4m exterior length for easier parking and town driving.
- MTPLM of 3300kg allows use with a standard B car driving licence.
- Generous 600kg payload capacity for its size.
- Flexible 2 to 3 berth sleeping arrangements.
- Choice of rear lounge or front lounge with swivel cab seat layouts.
Worth knowing: The 5.4m length may result in a compact washroom feel for some users. Sleeping arrangements typically require converting the lounge area rather than using permanent beds.
Buying an Autocruise Tempo: What you need to know
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a vehicle under 6 metres for easier country road navigation.
- Drivers restricted to a standard B licence due to the 3300kg MTPLM.
- Tourers who prioritise a high 600kg payload for equipment and essentials.
Reasons to consider it
- The 5.4m length makes it one of the more manoeuvrable options in its class.
- It offers a price range between 20000 and 45000, providing an entry point for used motorhome buyers.
- The 2.2m width and 2.7m height maintain a manageable profile for various road types.
What to check
- Confirm the specific layout as models feature either a rear lounge or a front lounge with swivel seats.
- Verify the exact berth count as this varies between 2 and 3.
- Inspect the condition of the Peugeot Boxer chassis and mechanical components.
- Check the operation of the lounge-to-bed conversion mechanism.
Worth knowing: Interior storage is more limited than in larger coachbuilt alternatives. The washroom is designed for efficiency within a small footprint.
Compare the Autocruise Tempo with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Autocruise Tempo | 3 | 3300 kg | 5.40 m | £20,000 to £45,000 |
| Auto-Trail Excel 620s | 3 | 3300 kg | 6.18 m | £24,000 to £42,000 |
| Auto-Trail F Line F60 | 3 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
The Autocruise Tempo is a specialised choice for those prioritising a sub-6-metre footprint, specifically measuring 5.4m. While alternatives like the Auto-Trail Excel 620s or Elddis Majestic 135 offer more length at approximately 6m, the Tempo maintains a competitive 600kg payload and a 3300kg MTPLM. It serves as a middle ground between very small van conversions and larger coachbuilt models, focusing on lounge-based layouts rather than fixed bedding.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Autocruise Tempo owners
- Utilise the 600kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the 5.4m chassis.
- Make use of the swivel cab seats in front lounge models to maximise the 2.2m interior width.
- Regularly service the Peugeot Boxer base vehicle to maintain reliability for long tours.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models have the same lounge position; check for front versus rear lounge configurations.
- Overlooking the need to convert beds daily in this compact layout.
Worth knowing: Payload must be managed carefully if adding heavy optional equipment. Height clearance of 2.7m should be noted for low bridges and barriers.
Alternatives to the Autocruise Tempo
- Auto-Trail Excel 620s - The Excel 620s offers a similar 3 berth capacity and 3300kg MTPLM but provides a longer 6.18m body for those who find the Tempo too compact.
- Auto-Trail F Line F60 - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
- Autocruise Starfire - The Starfire provides a higher 4 berth capacity and a 3500kg MTPLM for buyers requiring more sleeping space than the Tempo.
