If you want a camper van you can buy straight from a dealer with a manufacturer’s warranty, the Mercedes Marco Polo is our top choice. It’s not the cheapest to buy, but it has a feature-packed and plush interior that’s easy to convert from transportation device to living area. It’s good to drive and refined for a camper, making it a better bet than key rivals.
Although we could only manage 0-60mph in 13.0sec during our tests, we’d argue the 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel 220d is all the engine you need in a Marco Polo. There’s enough low down poke, it’s refined and it’s not like you’re going to drive a camper van quickly, is it? Only available with a smooth nine-speed automatic gearbox and in Sport trim.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
