The German company Electric Brands introduced a minibus called the XBUS Camper: as you might guess, this is really a motorhome in which two adults can travel. At the same time, fans of the Russian (and Soviet) car industry will certainly be surprised by the similarity of this creation with the Ulyanovsk Loaf. But, as they say, “all coincidences are accidental.”
In terms of dimensions, the car is noticeably more compact than the Ulyanovsk minibus, because the length of the German car is only 3945 mm. That is, the XBUS Camper is only 20 centimeters taller than the three-door LADA Niva Legend! At the same time, the stylish “trailer” weighs only 450 kilograms.
With such microscopic dimensions, the minibus is more than enough for four motorcycle wheels with a total efficiency of 20 liters. Of. Admittedly, in peak mode, the motors make 76 horsepower, so the baby with the bulging eyes takes off and accelerates quite merrily.
In the basic version, the power reserve on a single charge is only 200 kilometers, but this is provided that the customer is limited to a battery of 10 kilowatts. And if you order a battery with a capacity of 30 kWh, the “range” is up to 600 km.
In the standard version, a car with a frame panel costs about € 17,000 (that’s about a million rubles). But it is a motorhome equipped with two beds, a built-in kitchen and solar panels that lighten the wallet by €30,000.
In addition, the Germans offer to pay extra for an “off-road chassis”: this expression hides more “bad” tires and increased (up to 21 centimeters) ground clearance. On such a little one you can go to a party, and to the world, and to relative impassability.
