Japanese manufacturer Annex RV has introduced the compact camper Liberty 52 REi. The vehicle is about 5.2 m long (some sources say 5.23 m), shorter than a Toyota Hilux (5.3 m) or VW Amarok (5.35 m). Width is 2.07 m, height 2.88 m.
It is built on a Toyota Camroad chassis with a 3.0-liter diesel engine (144 hp) and a 6-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive is optional. The rear entry allows a large U-shaped sofa that converts into a bed for three, plus an overhead cab bed for two — five sleeping berths total. The camper includes a kitchen with a two-burner stove, sink, microwave, and 85 L fridge, as well as a bathroom with shower and optional cassette toilet.
The energy system includes a lithium battery up to 9.6 kWh, a 3000 W inverter, and 420 W solar panels. Options include heated floor, boiler, air conditioning, and auxiliary heater. Price in Japan is 15.96 million yen (or from 15.958 million yen according to another source). Export to Europe is not planned; import is required for European use.
