The NEW 2026 Ford Nugget High Roof campervan. Looks nice but not practical in real use.

Описание: The 2026 Ford Nugget High Roof campervan. Looks nice but not practical in real use. In the description I compare it to six rivals, Volkswagen California Ocean, Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo: Citroen Holidays, Swift Trekker 540, Adria Active Duo and the Westfalia Jules Verne. You will also find the vehicle specs for the Westfalia Ford Nugget in the description below.

I got criticism from Ford for not saying that there is the option of a toilet - well there is but it was not in the vehicles that they showed at either Caravan Salon where it was launched nor at CMT Stuttgart.

COMPARISON VS 6 RIVALS

Volkswagen California Ocean: The traditional class leader. Offers superior residual values and premium interior finishes but lacks the Nugget's dedicated L-shaped rear kitchen flow.

Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo: Focuses on automotive-grade interior luxury. However it is strictly rear-wheel drive and lacks the versatile PHEV options found on the Ford.

Citroen Holidays: A compelling value-focused rival with a pop-top roof. It lacks the advanced digital integration and the sophisticated three-room living separation of the Westfalia design.

Swift Trekker 540: A coachbuilt alternative on the same Ford chassis. It provides a fixed bathroom and more permanent interior space at the cost of the daily-driver versatility the Nugget offers.

Adria Active Duo: Excellent for modularity and weekend use. It offers a more basic camping spec compared to the high-end Westfalia furniture and build quality.

Westfalia Jules Verne: The closest direct competitor in terms of layout philosophy. It features a similar rear-kitchen and wet-room capability, though it is based on the Mercedes Vito platform.
