Rapido C55i - agile premium class integrated

The Rapido brand has accustomed us to innovation and being a bold pioneer in many ways. Recently you could read about Rapido's new products for 2023 here: What's new at Rapido in 2023?

In the coming model year, in addition to a slight refreshment of the entire motorhome collection, the brand has made a step that many competitors in this market segment did not make. The result of the work is a really refined, new, compact integrated for four people based on the Fiat Ducato - the C55i model is not a motorhome like any other. We invite you to familiarize yourself with this novelty and its advantages!

Rapido C55i - Compact but Comfortable

The fear of compliance with the permissible total weight remains the problem associated with fully integrated motorhomes. That is why many potential customers are looking for practical solutions with the best possible cubic volume and functionality to weight ratio. What has been achieved by the Rapido brand, which is 672 cm long and 217 cm wide, is impressive - even with the base DMC of 3,500 kg (the car's height is 275 cm).

From the outside, the shape makes a very good impression. Black grille and muscular features - LED daytime running lights (on the beams below the dipped / high beam) are arranged around it, as well as halogen lights surrounded by attractive chrome frames. The car takes 4 people on board and this is also the number of sleeping places. The Ducato of the latest generation, equipped with a brilliant new 9-speed automatic transmission, is responsible for the drive. The rear of the car, however, is based on the low frame from AL-KO, which translates into really great driving characteristics and stability.

The interior - because it is worth the most attention - shows that you can fit everything you need on a short length. The modern and attractive decor is characterized by bright colors - beige, white and gray are fashionable and neutral and appeal to most tastes.

On the right from the front door you will find a cab with swivel armchairs, an adjustable table and an L-shaped sofa - 4 people can sit comfortably here. Above the living room, 2 people will sleep comfortably on the fold-down bed. The fact that we are dealing with an integral does not significantly limit the freedom of movement and use of the table, even at night.

To the left of the entrance, we have a kitchen block equipped with a two-burner stove with a glass cover, next to a sink, and under and above the table top there are cabinets and drawers. It's a good idea to frame the kitchen window with a layer of plexiglass, into which a spice rack is integrated. The fridge-freezer with a capacity of 140 liters is more than enough for larger provisions and drinks.

Rapido C55i - practical solutions

As in many Rapido models, also here we are dealing with an extremely practical solution when it comes to the layout of the bathroom - the Duo Space technology allows us to transform the bathroom with a toilet into a full-size shower cubicle - just turn the wall on a solid hinge. While driving, we secure the wall panel with a lock. Importantly - in the bathroom we also find a roof window that allows you to get rid of

The Sky-View panoramic sunroof allows plenty of light into the vehicle during the day, while LED lamps will take care of the mood after dark. The lighting in the C55i is at the highest level - we have reading lamps and direct and indirect lighting of every nook and cranny, and even effective energy-saving light sources integrated with the kitchen hood.

At the rear, the vehicle is equipped with 2 separate beds that can be joined and used as a huge transverse bed (dimensions are 185x90 cm and 199x80 cm). At the base of the beds on both sides there are large wardrobes for clothes and luggage. Importantly - if necessary, it is possible to order Rapido C55i with an increased permissible total weight (e.g. 4250 kg), which allows for uncompromising loading possibilities. The garage at the back under the beds is generous and allows access through large doors on both sides of the vehicle. It is heated, has space for 2 large batteries powering the body, as well as a load securing system.

In addition to a 110-liter clean water tank and a 90-liter gray water tank, the car is equipped with automatic pressure control, a reversing camera, hill climb assistant and electric exterior mirrors (all these elements are standard equipment). The Truma Combi 4 Diesel system is responsible for heating. Winter insulation of the gray water tank is on the list of optional equipment, but it is the only addition that we need to be able to enjoy this motorhome all year round.
