If you’re searching for a campervan that blends rugged capability with refined comfort, the Hymer Grand Canyon S CrossOver 2026 is one of the most exciting choices on the market under 6 metres. Built on a Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter chassis with permanent all‑wheel drive, this premium model offers true go‑anywhere versatility while still delivering the smooth road manners and finish you’d expect from a high‑end European campervan.
Overview and Price
The Hymer Grand Canyon S CrossOver 2026 is priced from around £119,950 in the UK (MSRP, inc VAT and OTR charges).
It’s designed to be a capable all‑season camper that’s just as happy exploring remote tracks and off‑grid spots as it is cruising motorways – all in a compact footprint that’s easy to manoeuvre and park.

Performance & Drive
The CrossOver’s Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter underpinnings mean excellent driver comfort, safety, and reliability. Its permanent all‑wheel‑drive system gives enhanced traction on rough surfaces, while the automatic gearbox keeps long drives relaxed.
Raised ground clearance and off‑road tyres help you confidently tackle uneven terrain and steep gravel paths – perfect for adventure‑driven owners who want to escape the beaten track.
Interior & Living Features
Inside, Hymer delivers smart use of space and quality finishes:
Sleeping & Living
- Transverse rear double bed as standard with optional pop‑top roof for extra berths – great for family or guests.
- Standing height ~192 cm gives real living comfort on stopovers.
Kitchen & Facilities
- 90 l fridge with freezer compartment gives generous capacity for fresh food on longer trips.
- Functional kitchen with work surfaces and storage designed for camper use – meals on the road are easy and practical.
Water & Heating
- 100 l fresh water tank and 85 l grey water tank support multi‑day stays off‑grid.
- 6 kW diesel warm‑air heating keeps you comfortable even on cooler nights.
Off‑Grid Capability
One of the CrossOver’s standout points is its self‑sufficiency:
- Ten‑day off‑grid range achievable with thoughtful power and water systems.
- Integrated control via Hymer Connect system, letting you monitor and adjust power, tanks, and heating from a touchscreen or app.
Whether you’re in the Scottish Highlands or cruising the coast of Cornwall, this tech gives peace of mind and convenience.
Why the CrossOver Stands Out
The Grand Canyon S CrossOver sits above the standard Grand Canyon S with its enhanced capability, raised suspension, and off‑road styling. The result is a unit that looks purposeful and lives up to that promise when the road ends.
In short, it combines:
- True 4×4 capability with camper comfort
- Compact dimensions for easier handling
- Quality interior with clever use of space
- Off‑grid readiness for extended adventures
Should You Consider One?
If your campervan plans include rougher terrain, wild camping, and extended off‑grid trips but you still want refined driving and living space, the Hymer Grand Canyon S CrossOver 2026 is a compelling choice. It sits comfortably at the premium end of the market with a specification and build quality to match the price.
