Introduction

The new 2025 Carthago C2 Tourer SMARTLINER is redefining what’s possible in the world of luxury motorhomes. This model combines the innovative engineering Carthago is known for with the practicality and versatility expected from a high-end motorhome. Available exclusively on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the C2 Tourer SMARTLINER offers an ideal blend of lightweight construction and comprehensive comfort, making it a compelling choice for both experienced motorhome enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Design and Build Quality

The Carthago C2 Tourer SMARTLINER is meticulously designed with a focus on durability and aesthetic appeal. Its fully integrated body construction ensures excellent stability and longevity. The unique combination of aluminium and glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) for the bodywork not only enhances its durability but also provides excellent thermal insulation and protection against hail and lightning.

Chassis Options

The C2 Tourer SMARTLINER is available on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with two distinct weight classes:

Lightweight 3.5t Models: These models can be driven with a standard B class EU driving licence, making them accessible to a broader audience.
Comfort 4.5t Models: For those not restricted by the 3.5t limit, these models offer additional payload capacity and an enhanced comfort package.

Both versions come equipped with modern driver assistance systems such as active braking assist, hill descent control, and crosswind assist.

Interior Layout and Living Spaces

Carthago has made no compromises in the interior design of the C2 Tourer SMARTLINER. It features multiple layout options tailored to various needs, with an emphasis on maximising living space and comfort.

Living Area

The living area is spacious, featuring an L-shaped lounge seating arrangement with an ergonomic design. The 360° rotatable living area table, equipped with chrome trim, is both functional and stylish. The exclusive lighting concept with LED technology and ambient lighting options creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. You’ll also find a very useful swivel-out shoe cabinet which can fit up to four pairs of shoes, integrated into the seat base. To avoid any potential trip hazards, the floor in the Carthago C2 Tourer offers a level passage from the living area to the cab.

Kitchen

The kitchen in the C2 Tourer SMARTLINER is a highlight, designed for both functionality and style:

Corner Kitchen Design: This layout maximises space with a raised kitchen countertop acting as a visual divider and extra worktop space.
High-Quality Appliances: Includes a 3-ring hob and a large fridge with automatic energy selection (12V, 230V or gas) and freezer section. All models coming to Southdowns Motorhomes for the UK are also fitted with a gas oven with grill function. There’s also an option to add a capsule coffee machine. Some models arriving will have this pre-installed as standard, on a pull-out system.
Convenience: A spice rack and separate waste bin compartment add to the kitchen’s practicality. You’ll also find an integrated bottle cabinet.

Sleeping Arrangements

Sleeping comfort is paramount in the C2 Tourer SMARTLINER. The model offers various configurations, including twin beds or an island Queen bed. Every model includes a drop down bed over the cab. The mattress design and quality ensure a restful sleep, no matter the destination.

Models with lengthways single beds are identifiable by “LE” in their description. They offer extra long 200 cm beds, with adjustable head sections and pull-out access steps. Wardrobes can be found beneath the beds, which lower down into the double floor storage area.

Models identifiable by “QB” in their description, feature a Queen-size island bed. Wardrobes here can be found either side of the bed, and the bed houses a large storage drawer at the front. Queen beds also feature a raisable head section, perfect for reading or watching TV.

Bathroom

The bathroom is another standout feature, equipped with a separate shower, a high-quality washbasin, and an intelligently designed layout to maximise space. The use of premium fixtures and fittings ensures a comfortable and luxurious experience. Shower access is step-free via a very handy floor inlay, which can be removed when showering. The Mini-Heki skylight ensures ventilation. The bathroom is separated from the living area via swing-out and lockable bathroom door, creating a dressing-room feel into the bedroom. Separation from the bedroom is also achievable, depending on the model you choose. Either sliding solid wood door, or a combination of room divider and slide-out TV wall form the bedroom.

Storage Solutions

One of the unique selling points of the C2 Tourer SMARTLINER is its innovative storage solutions:

Double-Floor Storage System: This heated, double-floor compartment offers up to 55.5 cm of usable height. It is accessible from both inside and outside the motorhome, making it perfect for storing bulky items securely and efficiently.
Scooter Garage: The low-level scooter garage has a load capacity of up to 350 kg and is accessible from both sides. This makes it easy to transport scooters, bikes, or other larger items.

Storage Feature	Capacity	Access
Double-Floor Storage	55.5 cm usable height	Interior and exterior
Scooter Garage	350 kg load capacity	Both sides
Overhead Lockers	100 litres per compartment	Interior
Living Area Floor Hatches	22 cm usable depth	Interior and exterior via hatches

Entertainment Options: A 32” Smart LED TV is available. Customisable with two options; mounted on a 180° rotatable wall bracket, or, hidden inside the back of the side bench seat on a runner system. There’s also the option to add an additional TV in the bedroom area.
