At the Caravan Salon trade fair from 29 August to 7 September 2025, MAN Truck & Bus will be showcasing its expertise as a base vehicle manufacturer for motorhomes. The 2025 model year of the MAN TGE, called Next Level, on display in Düsseldorf has undergone extensive technical revisions. The entire electronic architecture has been renewed, which means, among other things, that new control units, sensors and cameras have been installed in the vehicle. This enables new and improved assistance systems as well as greater safety for TGE users and road users. Motorhome enthusiasts will also be delighted with the comfortable new driver’s seat: a digital instrument cluster, central MAN Media Van touch display, multifunction steering wheel and keyless start are just some of the many features now standard in the MAN TGE. The newly designed dashboard also creates more space in the cabin: The electric parking brake, which is now standard, eliminates the handbrake lever next to the driver’s seat, and the automatic gear lever has been moved to the steering wheel.
An exciting innovation for the camping segment in the MAN TGE model range will become a reality at the end of 2025. That is when the new 4,000 mm wheelbase will roll off the production line for the first time. The L 3.5 wheelbase is offered exclusively for the TGE cowl flat frame model with a single cab and can be equipped with a standard or wide-track axle. This places it between the two wheelbases currently available, L3 (3,640 mm) and L4 (4,490 mm). The L 3.5 wheelbase comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission and heavy-duty homologation. There is a choice of 103 kW or 120 kW (140 or 163 hp) power settings. The permissible gross vehicle weight is 3.5 or 3.88 tonnes. The new wheelbase is ideal for semi-integrated motorhomes in the 7-metre segment, as it offers advantages in terms of axle weight, space allocation and overhang.
‘With the MAN TGE cowl flat frame with the new L 3.5 wheelbase, we are making an attractive offer to motorhome manufacturers: a premium base vehicle, customer-oriented commercial vehicle service and now the ideal wheelbase for semi-integrated camping vehicles,’ explains Thomas Herzog, Head of International Key Account Management Van at MAN Truck & Bus.
