Carthago has revamped its stylish 'c' line for 2026, featuring updated interiors and a novel fixed bed configuration
Carthago and Malibu Unveil 2026 Model Upgrades
For the upcoming year, luxury motorhome manufacturer Carthago has announced significant updates to its chic c-line range, while its sister brand Malibu prepares to launch a new Fiat-based campervan range.
Expanded Offerings in the Carthago c-line Range
The 2026 Carthago c-line range introduces several notable changes, including the addition of Fiat Ducato-based models for the first time alongside the existing Mercedes Sprinter versions, expanding the range to approximately 14 models [1][2]. Some of these models will be available as lightweight 3.5-ton or comfort 4.2-ton variants.
One of the most striking changes is the adoption of the "V-face" front facade on Mercedes Sprinter-based c-line models. First seen on the e-line models, this design features a hexagonal radiator grille with five crossbars, a prominent chrome-plated "C" emblem in the center, and grey "A" pillars extending up to the roof [1].
Interior Upgrades and New Layouts
Interior updates include two new styling options: the standard "Amalfi" style with an "Exclusive Walnut" furniture finish and bi-colour handle-free overhead lockers, and an optional "Cortina" style that maintains the walnut finish but features muted white locker doors and wood-effect worktops [1]. Kitchens have been upgraded with a new floating worktop that functions as a room divider, plus a bar cabinet with a pull-out wine rack on the rear wall for added luxury and functionality [1].
A new layout, the T 4.9LE, has been introduced featuring fixed single beds in the rear, responding to evolving customer preferences [1][2].
Malibu's New Fiat-Based Campervan Range
Malibu is also joining the fray with a new Fiat-based campervan range for 2026. This expansion will provide customers with more options to suit their needs.
Other Notable Changes
The wider c1 tourer A-class models, except for the I 149 RB LE model, are being phased out. The front facade of all c1- and c2-tourer A-classes (except for the c1 tourer Edition+ I 149 RB-LE "comfort 4.2t") has been redesigned with sharper contours.
Chic s-plus models this season will have a new-look Iveco Daily cab with features like a wireless charging pad, dedicated spaces for a phone and a tablet, a two-way adjustable steering column, and a 10-inch infotainment display.
In summary, the 2026 enhancements to the Carthago chic c-line and Malibu's new campervan range highlight expanded Fiat Ducato-based offerings, a refreshed and more upscale front facade on Mercedes-based models, upgraded interiors with new design themes, and more layout choices to enhance comfort and style.
