Full speed ahead for mid-range price low-profile motorhomes
Burstner launch its new model line-up for the 2015 motorhome season
Burstner kicks off the new season with a model offensive; Four updated semi-integrated model series: Travel Van, Nexxo, Nexxo time, Ixeo
time
Burstner is kicking off the 2015 model year with a comprehensive product
offensive. The new features and upgrades in four model series clearly underscore
the brand's claim to being the market leader in the segment of semi-integrated
motorhomes in Germany and Europe. For more than five years now, the traditional
brand has been at the top of this class.
“By introducing the fold-down bed to semi-integrated motorhomes and caravans a
number of years ago, Burstner realised an innovation that forced the entire
industry to redirect its focus,” says Giovanni Marcon, Managing Director at
Burstner.
He adds: “Burstner also initiated the reorientation of interior
design, and its competitors soon adapted to these constructive and design-based
innovations. For this reason, we are now implementing additional new ideas to
enhance our mid-range series for the upcoming model year. This will allow us to
continue to successfully defend our position as the market leader in the
semi-integrated motorhome segment in Europe in the future.”
Refreshing visual design
Burstner's developers, design engineers and designers have paid special
attention to the price-sensitive mid-range segment. The Travel Van, Nexxo, Nexxo
time and the classic Ixeo time have been completely redeveloped and upgraded.
The Nexxo time has been repositioned as a new model series in the lower
mid-range price segment. On the outside, updated graphics on all of the model
series point to the changes. Even the cappuccino, the raised roof over the
driver's cab, has been aerodynamically improved to glide through the air with
less resistance, thus causing less wind noise. More rigid, warp-resistant design
The Nexxo and Travel Van model series now feature a wood-free cabin design.
Should mechanical damage cause a leak during a holiday trip, any water
penetration now no longer poses a problem. The highly stable XPS design made
from plastic, foam and lightweight metal materials is water-resistant. What's
more, the cabin is now more rigid and warp-resistant and provides better thermal
insulation. Customers have no need to fear the risk of hail damage. Since last
season, all Burstner motorhomes come equipped with the hail-proof GRP roof.
Lightweight construction for less weight
In the upcoming season, all caravan and motorhome model series (with the
exception of the Ixeo, Argos time and Argos) will be made with lightweight
flooring, which is also made from GRP. This upgrade has already been introduced
to individual models. Compared to the previous composite construction, this
design not only offers greater stability but also cuts down on the overall
weight significantly. Depending on the model and floor plan, weight can be
reduced by 50 to 80 kilograms. With increasing demand for motorhomes that do not
exceed the 3.5-tonne limit, this plays an important role in customer purchasing
decisions. In caravans, the lightweight construction module allows for the use
of smaller towing vehicles with lower trailing loads, thus resulting in less
fuel consumption.
Service unit for easy operation and maintenance
The service unit is a new feature that simplifies motorhome operation. All of
the relevant connections and filling openings for the water and power supply are
hidden behind the closable hatch on the outside. This is also where you will
find the 230-volt power feed as well as the filler tubes for fresh water and the
valves to empty the boiler and water tank. This makes service at a supply and
waste disposal station or at a campsite both cleaner and simpler. This hatch
also makes accessing the maintenance opening on the fresh-water tank quick and
easy.
Wide premium door
In the future, campers will be able to get inside their
Burstner vehicles
through an XL entry door measuring 70 cm in width (available in all models with
a suitable floor plan). Combined with a multi-step coupe entry, this represents
a major comfort upgrade. The premium edition of the XL door comes with a
two-point rather than a one-point locking mechanism. It also has a window and
comes standard with an integrated window screen. The door can also be integrated
into the base vehicle's central locking system as an option.
A fifth fully functional seat and a larger fridge
Positioned on the right behind the passenger seat, the optional VarioSeat offers
a high degree of functionality (for the Nexxo and Ixeo time, except for the 685
floor plan). An insertable backrest element and a seatbelt turn this practical
short bench into a fifth seat for an extra passenger. A 145-litre fridge (40
litres larger than the previous 105-litre fridge) with an 11-litre freezer
compartment is another new upgrade in the semi-integrated model series.
Burstner is offering four different special models in the new season. All of
them have impulse in their name and are found in the Viseo and Aviano model
series.
An overview of the new features:
- A new, sportier exterior design
- A new, more aerodynamic cappuccino
- A new, warp-resistant cabin with a wood-free XPS design
- New GPR lightweight flooring (except the Ixeo)
- The service unit as a central supply and maintenance station
- XL entry door, 70 cm wide
- 145-litre tall fridge with a freezer compartment
- VarioSeat with a seatbelt for an extra passenger (for the Nexxo and Ixeo
time)

The model series:
Travel Van: Comfort and well-being when travel is your passion
The three versions of the semi-integrated Travel Van feature the high-quality
XPS cabin with rounded roof edges and a sportier exterior design. The black XL
skyroof window in the cappuccino extends all the way to the front windscreen;
the rear spoiler emphasises the dynamic claim of this model series. The
high-quality framed windows (optional), which are flush with the exterior wall,
also accentuate the sportier look. The Travel Van offers plenty of storage space
and also comes equipped with the spacious VarioBad (variable bathroom). The
closed wardrobe in the entry area of the three floor plans, which can also be
used as a seat in the living area, is another exceptional feature.
Nexxo time: The model for price-conscious customers
Despite its budget-conscious features and standard construction, the Nexxo time
still offers plenty of comfort in the lower mid-range price segment. Its
high-quality seating concept and new furnishings make it a perfect model for
rentals. Compared to the Nexxo, the average price savings are around 4,500
euros. Nevertheless, features such as the XL door, the service unit and the
145-litre fridge come standard.
Nexxo: More headroom and style
As the flagship of
Burstner new range of semi-integrated motorhomes, the Nexxo
now comes with standard framed windows and the XPS cabin. The rounded roof edges
combined with the standard rear spoiler and the XL skyroof in the cappuccino
give this model an extremely dynamic look. Inside, the new furniture concept
with rounded hanging cabinets and improved standing headroom of 197 cm gives you
even more freedom to move around. The newly developed L-shaped kitchen is used
in all floor plans.
Ixeo time: More comfort thanks to the new fold-down bed
The Ixeo time is setting new standards in the class of motorhomes with fold-down
beds. Thanks to an innovative belt guide, the double bed can be vertically
lowered straight down with variable positioning. This allows all of the berths
on board to be used at the same time. When the fold-down bed is lowered down to
the lowest possible position electrically, it hovers slightly above the
upholstery in the seating area, thus allowing campers of any age to get into bed
comfortably and safely. The child-safety feature installed off the bed also
ensures safety. The fold-down mechanics are covered to prevent the risk of
injury. Even with the fold-down bed, the Ixeo time still has 198 centimetres of
standing headroom. The furniture comes in an appealing bicolour concept in
Truffo Ros, and the skyroof ensures the best lighting conditions.
Aviano/Viseo: Four “impulse” special models
A special model gives customers even more to choose from in the Viseo series of
integrated motorhomes. The Viseo i 690 “impulse” is upgraded with exclusive
extras such as the Chassis and Design packages. Other details include alloy
rims, power windows and a sun awning. A special graphic on the cabin sets the
Viseo i 690 “impulse” apart. Compared to the standard model, the added features
save customers a full 6,895 euros.
The benefits for customers are even greater on the three Aviano “impulse”
models. Like all Burstner integrated motorhomes, they now have a driver's door
as well as leather upholstery and a number of other extras that make the Aviano
“impulse” a fully equipped vehicle. The savings on the three floor plans (i 727,
i 728 G and i 840 G) offered exclusively with a white cabin are as much as
11,697 euros.
