German manufacturer Ari Motors has unveiled the ARI 458 Pro Campervan, an electric micro-RV measuring 3.5–3.82 m long. Based on a heavy quadricycle (L7e), it tops out at 70 km/h, offers up to 230 km of range, and starts at €25,530 excluding VAT.

German EV builder Ari Motors has introduced the ARI 458 Pro Campervan, touted as the smallest motorhome in Europe. At 3.5 to 3.82 metres in length (shorter than a Mazda MX-5), 1.49 m wide, and with an interior height of 1.85 m, it offers a living area of about 2.8 m².

Key specs

  • Vehicle class: heavy quadricycle (L7e), based on a licensed Chinese EV
  • Motor: 15 kW (20 hp) electric
  • Top speed: 70–74 km/h (sources vary)
  • Range: 120–230 km depending on battery pack

The camper is sold as a bare shell — buyers must fit their own furniture and equipment. Base price in Germany starts at €25,530 excluding VAT (roughly €30,000–30,381 with tax). Orders open on 1 May 2026.

A notable concern is safety: as an L7e vehicle, it is not required to undergo Euro NCAP crash tests.
