German company Ari Motors has unveiled the Ari 458 Pro, an electric camper van measuring 3.82 m in length. It reaches a top speed of 70 km/h, has a range of up to 230 km, and starts at €25,530 excluding VAT. The living module is delivered unfurnished.

German manufacturer Ari Motors has introduced the Ari 458 Pro, an electric camper van that claims to be the smallest in Europe. The vehicle is 3.82 meters long (some sources cite 3.5 m), 1.49 m wide, with an interior height of 1.85 m. The living area covers 2.8 m².

Based on a light commercial electric vehicle classified as L7e (heavy quadricycle), it is powered by a 20 hp (15 kW) electric motor, reaching a top speed of 70–74 km/h. The range varies from 120 to 230 km depending on the battery configuration.

Pricing and availability

The base price in Germany starts at €25,530 excluding VAT (approximately €30,000–30,381 with taxes). The living compartment is delivered empty, allowing owners to customize the interior. Orders are scheduled to open on May 1, 2026.

Key features and concerns

As an L7e vehicle, it is not required to undergo Euro NCAP crash tests, raising safety concerns. The camper includes a water system and a 230 V socket, and CAN be equipped with a solar panel.
