Compact Chausson S half-integrateds in the Sport Line version - the perfect package

In the Chausson program for 2023, small campers, as it were, created for couples with a child, hold a strong position. However, their compact appearance does not mean that we will not find all mobile comforts in the place. The fashion for compacts has been going on for several seasons and will continue. They offer significantly more space than typical tinsmiths, and at the same time in many cases are better insulated and offer greater travel comfort thanks to a slightly wider body. Chausson with the Sport Line version introduces 2 generously equipped models that will surely stand out from the crowd and convince with their excellent value for money.
There is no boredom from the outside - gray design, a special bonnet grill and a color-matched awning "do the job". Elegant, black alloy wheels and black applications with green stripes blend in a modern, or even a bit aggressive manner - perhaps not necessarily pointing to the off-road character, but certainly adding a traveler's edge and inviting you to explore new places. The body is compact, the width of the building is 210 cm, and the overall height is 275 cm.

Chausson S - Comfortable interior

Based on the Ford Transit 2, Chausson S models in the Sport Line version are S514 and S697GA. The shorter of them measures 599 cm and is equipped with a bed for two people (dimensions 189 x 132 cm) located transversely to the direction of travel. The longer one, on the other hand, measures 659 cm and has two single sleeping places at the back (dimensions 82x198 cm and 82x193 cm or - when joined - as much as 193x197 cm).

Analyzing the interior layout, starting from the cabin, we have 2 swivel seats, and behind them an additional side seat and a sofa with 2 seats - all gathered around a folding table. Even 5 people can find a place around it. Right behind the living room, on one side, there is a multifunctional bathroom with a rotating wall, and in front of it, there is a kitchen with a countertop, sink, 2-burner stove and 87 liter fridge. The car takes 105 liters of clean water on board and has space for 100 liters of gray water. This is an extremely decent result in this class of vehicles.

The diesel powered webasto system is responsible for heating. It can be used without restrictions when stationary, but also while driving. Domestic hot water is prepared in a gas powered boiler with electric ignition.

Among the standard equipment of the body, apart from the above-mentioned elements, we can find a shading system for the driver's cabin, as well as photovoltaic panels and preparation for 2 AGM batteries (their capacity is decided by the user). The standard is also an additional fold-out bed in the living room (its dimensions are 90x185 cm, so it is enough even for an adult).

Strong base and equipment on the Chausson S

The base of both vehicles has a power of 170 horsepower and an automatic gearbox. We have here a number of elements increasing the level of active and passive safety. In addition to 2 airbags, we receive the following systems: ESP, collision warning, lane assistant, automatic lights and wipers, Start / Stop. Manual air conditioning is also standard.

Of course, there are several options to choose from, such as the Connect package (radio installation with media station and DAB antenna and steering wheel control) or the winter package with additional tank insulation, external thermal insulation mats, a heated floor and diesel heating with increased power. The tow bar is also included in the optional equipment list.

Chausson S - a successful and versatile compact

Considering the really rich equipment and functionality of the interior, the declared unladen weight in running order, oscillating around 2650 kg, is a very good result. Although this weight does not include a battery / batteries, it does include a photovoltaic panel or an awning. The small dimensions (especially width) and the maneuverability of both models mean that (as I mentioned at the beginning) we are dealing here with another excellent alternative to traditional metal plates. The thickness of the sandwich panels used and the excellent insulation of the floor, walls and roof together with external coatings made of polyester resin laminate prove the modern construction and durability.
