Adria unveils its Alpina Rio Grande at the NEC Show

Adria debuted its new Alpina Rio Grande at the NEC Show last week.

The new tourer from the Slovenian caravan manufacturer is unusual in that it provides a front kitchen, something the brand used to offer in its Astella range.

At the rear of the van, a spacious washroom can be found, along with a comfortable rear island transverse bed.

Separating the bed from the kitchen is the lounge, which sits in the centre of the tourer. Here, a L-shaped settee can be located on the offside and a side settee on the nearside. The additional berths can then be made up from the L-shaped settee.

The Adria Alpina Rio Grande is 8.30m in length, and has a width of 2.46m. It impressed us at the Practical Caravan Awards 2023 too, where we shortlisted it for the best caravan for seasonal pitches. Prices start from £41,985 OTR.

The updated model is something of a bonus from brand, with much of the focus going towards updating the Altea, a three model range for the 2023 season which includes the Adria Altea Dart, Tyne and Avon.
