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

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.
