Adria drops the price of its Active Duo

Adria has announced reductions in the price of the Active Duo, its new rising-roof campervan, in a move designed to make it “the best value campervan in the UK”.

The Adria Active Duo was launched last summer, and went on to win the best small campervan category in our 2024 Motorhome of the Year Awards. The Renault Trafic-based ’van impressed us with features including its well-made rising-roof and the optional tailgate awning. However, the company recently announced it would be dropping the OTR price of the vehicle by 15.6%, to £52,990.

Optional extras associated with the vehicle that appears in our best campervan guide have also come down in price. As a result, you can now get the Active Duo with a Comfort Pack, a 150bhp engine with auto gearbox, two Renault packs, an infotainment system, metallic paint, 17-inch alloy wheels and a spare wheel for £63,490. That’s only £695 more than the original cost of the vehicle.

Adria says the price reduction has been prompted by slower than anticipated retail sales, but attributes this mainly to the time of year. The Duo is set to be on Adria’s stand at the upcoming February NEC Show.

Other brands are also sharing news about their ‘vans. This includes EHG UK revealing more about the Xplore CV X8 which was unveiled as a prototype at the October NEC Show, while Citroen is also launching its own campervan.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
