When the Vision Venture concept vehicle was unveiled at the Caravan Salon 2019, Hymer presented a response to current and future trends in the industry and revealed how motorhomes might look in 2025. That vision is now becoming reality as Hymer launches the Venture S.
It has the Instant Loft – a pneumatic pop-top roof including integrated stairway – as well as the striking tailgate with its real glass Infinity Screen that offers 180-degree panoramic views and a sun deck.
As an off-roader for two people, the Venture S has a compact vehicle length, narrow vehicle body and striking off-roader aesthetic.
The Venture S is based on the 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It has standard all-wheel drive and studded tyres. The colour scheme in Stone Grey or Sea Blue Metallic adorns both the bodywork and has honeycomb design graphics.
The rear area of the Venture S has the Infinity Screen made of real glass, which surrounds all three sides of the seating area. In conjunction with the felt-look wall covering it creates a harmonious interior ambience. When not in use, the adjustable table with its solid bamboo tabletop can be folded up and stored underneath the bench seat. The open tailgate of the Venture S expands the living space, opening up a yacht-style sun deck for an uninterrupted view.
Thanks to a powerful compressor, the pop-top roof fully inflates in less than three minutes and protects you from noise, light and temperature differences while you sleep thanks to an innovative two-chamber system. The firmness of the mattress can even be individually adjusted via the Hymer Connect app.
The comfort stairs in the Venture S allows easy ascent to your “upper floor” and can be safely used in the dark thanks to the illuminated steps. What’s more, the compartments integrated into the steps provide additional storage space. Clever storage and charging options for smartphones, e-books, etc. add the finishing touch to your dedicated “relaxation level”.
There is a kitchenette with matt-black fittings. Its centrepiece is the multifunctional wall, which lets you customise the available storage space in the form of hooks, shelves and containers. A drawer with storage for a chopping board extends the kitchen work surface. All provisions and utensils needed for on-board catering can be stored in a practical storage box system. Hymer uses innovative materials throughout the Venture S to ensure the optimum balance of function, appearance and weight. For example, the metal surface of the worktop surprises with its soft feel and matt finish, which prevents glare when driving. It is also resistant to fingerprints and scratches. The tile backsplash is made from a solid-surface composite based on powdered stone. It is virtually indistinguishable from conventional tiles in terms of its look and feel, lending the kitchen a stylish touch.
The wetroom can have an optional ceramic toilet as well as washbasin, mirror and built-in cupboards. With a look and feel resembling real slate, the new “Slate Light Rocks” furniture finish convinces with the unique feeling of real natural stone. It is also robust and easy to clean. A 120-litre fresh water tank lets you enjoy long showers or travel even further “off-grid”.
The Venture S includes a home office concept for anyone looking to combine self-sufficient travel with the ability to work on the move. The desk integrated into the side wall behind the passenger’s seat can be set up as an individual workstation under the flexible skylight, creating the an environment for focused, location-independent working. There are three 115-watt solar panels on the roof of the Venture S as well as six 230 V sockets and eight USB ports.
In combination with the Hymer Smart Battery System 2.0 and 320 Ah lithium batteries (not 230Ah as I say in the video) as well as the standard inverter, you could have a long time without running out of juice.
The Venture S is equipped with a mobile Sonos Smart Speaker that can be flexibly attached to the wall panels, so you can enjoy your favourite tunes even in the most remote locations. A projector including screen and wall mount – an option in a Hymer vehicle for the first time – is the perfect choice for unforgettable film nights while on the road. Pendant and reading lights can also be fitted in various places throughout the vehicle, so you can create the right lighting mood wherever you choose to relax. A well thought-out lighting concept with multi-level ambient lighting (including plinth lighting) makes the interior of the Venture S appear extremely spacious and roomy.
In keeping with its visionary credentials, on-board connectivity naturally plays a major role in the new Venture S. The vehicle is compatible with Hymer Connect – various components can therefore be controlled centrally via a smartphone or the built-in 7-inch touch display.
