New Models 2014: Adria Matrix

 

ADRIA IS A Slovenian manufacturer that has been building leisure vehicles for 48 years. It is now one of the UK’s leading import brands in terms of both sales volumes and its dealer network around the country.

 

The brand’s reputation for well built, innovative and well priced motorhomes seems to be continuing with the 2014 model range. The trump card is the wide variety which they offer, building van conversions, low-profiles and A-classes.

 

To give even more choice, you can choose between base vehicles, including Renault and Fiat. However, the 2014 offering has been simplified.
