Knaus Tabbert presents a renewed brand strategy and innovative models for different customer groups for the 2027 model year.
With its 2027 model year, Knaus Tabbert presents a clear strategic realignment and a strengthened profile for its core brands. The presentation of the 2027 model year marks the beginning of a new chapter for Knaus Tabbert AG. The company is not only showcasing new models, but also what each brand will stand for in the future: clarity, emotion, and focus.
The realignment comes at a time of significant market changes . Customers increasingly demand not only function and price, but also guidance, emotional value, and a sense of identification. The company therefore sees the future of caravanning in clearly positioned brands with character.
With these new products, Knaus Tabbert is responding to current market demands. The brand profiles are being further refined, and the products are being made more desirable . Knaus represents a new beginning, Weinsberg is giving new impetus to its success story, and Tabbert is introducing a new sonic nuance. At its annual press conference, Knaus Tabbert presented the following new products for the 2027 model year:
The new Sky Ti is based on the VW Crafter chassis with a wide-track axle, extended wheelbase, and standard automatic transmission. It features a heated double floor and a level living area floor. Additional comfort is provided by features such as a compressor refrigerator, lithium battery, and aluminum-framed windows. An ALDE diesel heating system or an electric drop-down bed in the front are available as options. A particularly noteworthy feature is the large panoramic glass roof. Layouts: 650 MEG, 700 DEG, and 700 DX.
The Van Ti Plus combines compact exterior dimensions with a spacious interior, achieved through FoldXpand technology.
