This video offers a comprehensive walkthrough of this unique vehicle, highlighting its features and benefits.
Compact Yet Spacious
Despite its compact exterior dimensions, measuring 545 cm in length and 206 cm in width, the Hymer Exsis Fiat Ducato boasts a surprisingly spacious interior. This is attributed to its ingenious design that incorporates numerous smart solutions, making the most of every available inch.
The vehicle feels roomy inside, a testament to Hymer’s reputation as one of the world’s most renowned motorhome manufacturers.

The kitchen area is well-equipped with hot/cold water, cooking burners, a refrigerator with a freezer, and ample storage space in the form of drawers and cabinets. The rear of the van houses a smart bathroom with a fixed toilet, sink, shower, and storage for toiletries, complemented by a large wardrobe.
Driving Experience
Driving the Hymer Exsis is a pleasure, thanks to its robust 2.3L engine. Its compact size ensures easy maneuverability, making it as comfortable in city streets as it is on the open road. The vehicle is also equipped with electric mirrors, electric windows, airbags on both sides and ASR anti-spin, features not commonly found in vehicles of its age.
Additional Amenities
Externally, the camper van is fitted with aluminum wheels, an awning, a motorcycle/bicycle rack with an easy-to-use ramp, an electric step, and a rearview camera. The motorcycle rack, certified to hold up to 140 kg, can be easily removed if not needed.
