What it’s like to live in the CV595 4x4 X-EDITION
The interior is uncluttered and of high quality. It is only when you look closely that you realise just how much well-thought-out functionality lies behind it.
-
More headroom and warmth throughout the vehicle
- 198 cm headroom: The X-EDITION’s specially designed high roof creates noticeably more freedom of movement throughout the vehicle
- Standard diesel heater: Reliably provides cosy warmth in the cabin, even when it’s chilly outside
-
Maximum space in the rear
- Sleeping extensions for more sleeping space: Special bodywork features at the rear create space for a 200 x 136 cm double bed.
- Enhanced sleeping comfort: High-quality mattresses on a partial slatted base guarantee a restful night’s sleep without stiffness on long journeys.
- All-round storage space: Roof cupboards running all the way round the vehicle offer maximum space for clothes without compromising the feeling of space.
-
Flexibility in the tightest of spaces
- Space-saving folding door: A clever folding door does not protrude into the corridor when opened, keeping the walkway clear.
- Fold-away washbasin: When folded away, it creates maximum space when showering or using the toilet.
- Insect screen in the roof: The roof hatch ventilates the bathroom quickly and, thanks to the integrated roller blind, keeps flies and mosquitoes out at all times.
-
Ergonomics for in-flight catering
- Spacious worktop: The kitchen is laid out in such a way that, despite the vehicle’s compact dimensions, there is plenty of space for preparing meals.
- Drawers with soft-close mechanism: All kitchen drawers close quietly thanks to the Servo Soft system and do not spring open whilst the vehicle is in motion.
- Two-burner hob: The hob ignites electrically at the touch of a button. When closed, a glass cover serves as an additional storage surface.
- 84-litre pull-out fridge: The compressor fridge can be pulled out easily and cools extremely reliably, even in high outside temperatures in summer.
-
A cosy hub
- Ergonomic cushions: Anatomically shaped cushions from the Forest Shadow design range provide optimum back support during prolonged sitting.
- Flexible light strip: The LED reading lights in the light rail can be moved freely and positioned exactly where light is needed.
- Integrated ambient lighting: Indirect LED lighting above the overhead cupboards creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere throughout the vehicle.
- Seamless privacy in an instant: The folding blackout blind for the driver’s cab can be drawn in just a few simple steps and provides effective protection from prying eyes and heat.
What safety features are included as standard?
Features that often come at an extra cost in other motorhomes are included as standard in the X-EDITION. So you’re well protected right from the start.
- The ‘Lane Assist’ lane departure warning system counter-steers if you unintentionally stray from your lane and simultaneously alerts you with an audible warning and a message on the multifunction display
- The Hill Start Assist completely prevents dangerous roll-back on inclines
- Front Assist features a City Emergency Braking function: it can detect pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles travelling in the same direction and warn you of potential hazards
- Crosswind Assist, as a sub-function of the Electronic Stability Programme, helps in strong, gusty crosswinds by automatically applying the brakes to the wheels
- Traffic sign recognition detects speed limits, overtaking restrictions, as well as time-based and weather-related restrictions, and warns you if you exceed the permitted speed limit. The current traffic signs are displayed in the Digital Cockpit Pro and in the infotainment system
- As soon as the Attention and Fatigue Detection system detects driving behaviour that suggests fatigue, it issues a timely warning and recommends taking a break via visual and audible signals
Exclusive designs and colours
You’ll recognise the X-EDITION straight away, even from the outside. Its distinctive design clearly sets this model apart from the other Carado models.
- Customised decals and ‘X-EDITION’ lettering
- Electric off-road step for easy access
- Awning integrated directly into the pop-up roof
- Framed windows for a high-quality appearance
- Paint finish in Ascot Grey, optionally also available in Slate Grey or Violet Blue
- ‘Forest Shadow’ fabric combination for a harmonious interior
The right package for every holiday

- Anyone who drives in winter will benefit from the Winter Package, which includes a heated steering wheel, heated seats and a heated windscreen
- If you’re looking for maximum assistance with parking and manoeuvring, choose the Professional Assistance Package with turn-in, park-steer and side protection assistants
- If you want extra safety when changing lanes and pulling away, opt for the Extended Assistance Package with blind-spot turn warning and Side Assist
- Those who prefer a relaxed and semi-automated driving experience on long journeys should opt for the Advanced Assistance Package, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop&Go and ‘Travel Assist’

Important information regarding the selection of your motorhome
When buying a motorhome, camper van or urban vehicle (hereafter: motorhome), it is particularly important to choose the right layout and an appealing design. In addition, weight also plays an essential role. Family, friends, optional equipment, accessories and baggage – space must be available for all of these. At the same time, there are legal and technical limits to the configuration and load. Every motorhome is designed for a certain weight, which may not be exceeded during driving. For motorhome buyers, this raises the question: How should I configure my vehicle to accommodate passengers, baggage and accessories according to my needs without the vehicle exceeding this maximum weight? In order to make this decision easier for you, we provide you below with a few tips that are particularly important when selecting your vehicle from our portfolio:
1. The technically permissible maximum laden mass…
… is a value set by the manufacturer which the vehicle may not exceed. Carado specifies a layout-related upper limit for the vehicle, which can vary from layout to layout (e.g. 3,500 kg, 4,400 kg). You can find the corresponding specification for each layout in the technical data.2. The mass in running order…
... consists – to put it simply – of the basic vehicle with standard equipment plus a standard weight of 75 kg for the driver. It is legally permissible and possible for the mass in running order of your vehicle to deviate from the nominal value stated in the sales documents. The permissible tolerance is ± 5 %. The permissible range in kilograms is given in brackets after the mass in running order. In order to provide you with full transparency regarding possible weight deviations, Carado weighs each vehicle at the end of the line and informs your trade partner of your vehicle's weighing result for forwarding to you.
Detailed explanations on the subject of mass in running order can be found in the “Legal Information” section.3. The permitted number of seats (including driver)…
… is determined by the manufacturer in what is referred to as the type-approval procedure. This results in what is referred to as the mass of the passengers. For this, a standard weight of 75 kg per passenger (without driver) is calculated.
Detailed explanations on the subject of mass of the passengers can be found in the “Legal Information” section4. The manufacturer-specified mass for optional equipment…
… is a value set by Carado per layout for the maximum mass of optional equipment that can be ordered. This limit is intended to ensure that the minimum pay-mass, i.e. the legally prescribed free mass for baggage and retrofitted accessories, is actually available for the vehicle load capacity of the vehicles delivered by Carado. If, in exceptional cases, the weighing at the end of the line nevertheless shows that the actual load capacity falls short of the minimum pay-mass due to a permissible weight deviation, we will check together with your trade partner and you whether we should, for example, increase the load capacity of the vehicle, reduce the number of seats or remove optional equipment before delivering the vehicle.
Detailed explanations on the subject of the effects of the tolerances on the minimum pay-mass and the payload can be found in the “Legal Information” section.5. The additional weight of optional equipment and packages...
... increases the actual mass of the vehicle (= mass in running order plus selected optional equipment) and reduces the pay-mass. The specified value shows the additional weight compared to the standard equipment of the respective layout. The total weight of the selected packages and optional equipment must not exceed the manufacturer-specified mass for optional equipment.Technical data

* The specified mass in running order is a default value defined in the type-approval procedure. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the actual weighed mass in running order may deviate from the value stated above. Deviations of up to ± 5 % of the mass in running order are legally permissible and possible. The permissible range in kilograms is given in brackets after the mass in running order. The manufacturer-specified mass for optional equipment is a calculated value for each type and layout that [brand] uses to determine the maximum weight available for factory-fitted optional equipment. The limitation of optional equipment is intended to ensure that the minimum pay-mass, i.e. the legally prescribed free mass for baggage and retrofitted accessories, is actually available for the vehicle load capacity of the vehicles delivered by [brand]. The real weight of your vehicle ex works can only be determined when it is weighed at the end of the line. If, in exceptional cases, the weighing shows that the actual load capacity falls below theminimum pay-mass despite limiting the optional equipment due to a permissible weight deviation, we will check together with your trade partner and you whether we should, for example, increase the load capacity of the vehicle, reduce the number of seats or remove optional equipment before delivering the vehicle. The technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle and the technically permissible maximum mass on the axle must not be exceeded.-

Frequently asked questions about the CV595 4x4 X-EDITION
Here you will find answers to the questions most frequently asked by those interested in the X-EDITION.
-
The X-EDITION breaks with the traditional entry-level segment. For the first time, it is based on the premium chassis of the VW Crafter (rather than Fiat or Citroën) and comes with 4MOTION all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox as standard. It also features exclusive styling highlights such as the black GRP roof with integrated awning, framed windows and the electric off-road step.
-
As standard, the vehicle offers two fixed and very comfortable sleeping places in the rear double bed (200 x 136 cm). Optionally, the seating area in the middle can be converted into an additional bed, allowing up to three people to sleep in the vehicle.
-
For normal gravel roads, wet grass at the campsite or snow-covered roads on a skiing holiday, the standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive is more than adequate. The optional off-road package (€5,999) with a genuine differential lock and rugged 18-inch off-road tyres is worth considering if you’re planning specific expeditions far from any infrastructure and want to tackle deep sand, mud or rough scree.
-
Yes, Carado’s modular system offers plenty of flexibility despite the extensive standard specification. As well as the practical driver assistance and comfort packages, you can choose from a range of high-performance individual options – such as a self-sufficient lithium battery (104 Ah), an integrated Wi-Fi system with an LTE router for mobile internet, or a sturdy double bike rack at the rear.
