Figures are manufacturer-stated values for the nominated layout and may vary with options fitted. Off-grid estimates are indicative only. Estimates are based on modelled assumptions and vary with weather, load, equipment condition and usage habits. Specifications are published 2026 model year figures and vary by layout; confirm your layout's full weights, including ATM, with your dealer and the vehicle's compliance plate, and confirm loaded weights at a licensed weighbridge before towing. Sleeping capacity varies by layout. Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.

Tap a marker to see what the van carries and where: water, gas, power, suspension. Flick through the exterior and interior, or walk a layout in 3D. Every figure comes from the published New Age spec, and we flag anything still being confirmed.
The layouts
Which layout,and where will you take it?
Two decisions set the van and the price: the layout you live in, and whether you want the Semi Off-Road pack under it.

Fully loaded, it weighsThe van at its heaviest, fully loaded. This is the weight your car has to tow. Caravan people call it the ATM.
On the tow barHow hard the van pushes down on the car's tow bar (ball weight). It climbs as you load, so we take the published ball weight for this layout and scale it up to the fully loaded van. Weigh yours to be sure.

On the weighbridge
Car + van, loadedYour car plus the fully-loaded van, on the weighbridge together. Assumes ~400 kg of people and gear in the car (before heavy accessories), scales the published ball weight up to the loaded van, and uses indicative vehicle weights. Weigh the loaded rig to be certain.

Good match. Comfortable all round: tow limit, tow ball, your car's own weight, and the two combined.

Indicative estimates only: figures are modelled, not measured, and vary with weather, load, equipment condition and usage habits. ATM shown is derived from published tare plus payload, not a published figure. Option weights and prices are examples; confirm current options and pricing with your dealer, and confirm loaded weights at a licensed weighbridge before towing. Tow-vehicle figures (braked capacity and tow-ball rating) are typical published values that vary by build, year and accessories; confirm your vehicle’s compliance plate and check its GVM and GCM, not tow capacity alone. The combined car-plus-van figures assume roughly 400 kg of people and gear in the car (before heavy accessories), scale the published tow-ball download up from tare to the fully loaded weight, and use indicative vehicle weights; your build, accessories and load will differ. Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
