And now directly to the Suzuki off-road models, for real camping adventures.

Suzuki Offroad: Camping with Suzuki Jimny, Samurai or the SJ models

The Japanese car manufacturer not only stands for economical small cars for city traffic, but also for more affordable off-road vehicles, which can be an alternative to the Mercedes G-Class, the Land Rover or even a Mitsubishi pickup – because all of these models can also carry a roof tent.
Suzuki has a small number of presentable off-road models in its range.
First and foremost is the Suzuki Jimny, which has virtually become an outdoor legend.
The Suzuki SJ models and the Suzuki Samurai are also experts off-road, but are currently no longer produced by the factory.
Here you can find out what Suzuki’s off-road models are capable of and that a trip with a roof tent has its own individual appeal.
Popular Suzuki off-road models include the Suzuki Jimny and the Suzuki Samurai.

Suzuki Jimny: Outdoor legend with compact dimensions and low weight – big off-road (predecessor: Samurai, SJ)

Compact dimensions, low weight and big off-road.
The Suzuki Jimny masters any terrain – and looks so unique that it has achieved cult status among its fans.
The readers of “Auto Bild Allrad” even voted it the overall winner 2020 in the category “Off-road vehicles and SUVs up to 35,000 euros”.
The compact off-roader therefore has a lot under the hood and is a cost-effective alternative to other SUVs and off-road vehicles.
With a wide field of vision, optimized bumpers, two-tone paintwork and a comfortable, straightforward interior, the Suzuki Jimny is a great off-road companion.
In addition, the new edition of the classic also has hill start and hill descent control, so it won’t let you down even on rough terrain.
The Suzuki Samurai of the SJ series is the predecessor and also known as an off-road vehicle.
However, it has not been produced since 2004.

  • Power: 75 kW / 102PS
  • 0 – 100 km/h: n. A.
  • Top speed 145 km/h
  • Fuel consumption: 6.8 l/100km

Here you can see the Suzuki Jimny in action, with review, test and driving report from the expert!

Suzuki (Grand) Vitara: Compact SUV with off-road capabilities

According to the manufacturer, the compact design SUV is suitable for the road as well as for gravel tracks and rough terrain: A sustainable plus point: the SUV is also available as a hybrid and can therefore also be operated electrically.
Suzuki has opted for clear and modern lines in the design, and has dispensed with any frills that are in love with detail.
The Vitara’s storage space is particularly exciting: the trunk capacity of the Vitara is 375 liters5.
With the rear seats folded down, up to 1,120 liters6 can be transported.
It is available as a Club, Comfort or Comfort+ model, offering different features.
Anyone looking for an all-terrain vehicle that also cuts a fine figure on city streets should take a closer look at the Vitara.
In addition to the Suzuki Vitara, the Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV model was also available until 2015.
The SUV with an off-road vehicle look is higher than the Vitara and is therefore even better suited to rough terrain.
However, production was discontinued in 2015 and the Vitara was launched as the successor model with AllGrip.

  • Power: 95 kW / 129 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: n. A.
  • Top speed: 190 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 4.6-4.9 l/100km

The Vitara cuts a fine figure on the road.

Best-selling models: Suzuki Swift, SX4 (S-Cross) and Suzuki Ignis Allgrip

The best-selling Suzuki models include, for example, the Suzuki Swift (Sport), the SX4 and the Suzuki Ignis micro-crossover.
All of these models have one thing in common: they are projects from the Japanese car manufacturer that are designed to undercut cars from more expensive manufacturers in terms of price, but not in terms of performance and comfort.
Here we reveal what the popular car models from Suzuki have under the hood.

Suzuki Ignis (Allgrip): Small car or SUV?
Micro crossover with 90 hp and 170 km/h top speed

The Suzuki Ignis is the Japanese solution for city and off-road.
The buyer should not have to choose between “either” and “or”, the car should fit into small parking spaces as well as make big adventures possible.
The car is designed for efficiency and is therefore also available as a new car with hybrid equipment.
With a large touchscreen display and a compact, well-organized interior, the small car also adapts to the trends of modern cars on the inside.
Its exterior mirrors can be heated on request, and the luggage compartment holds between 204 and 267 liters depending on the model.
The standard roof luggage racks make it very easy to fit a roof tent.

  • Power: 66 kW / 90 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 11.8 s
  • Top speed: 170 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 4.3 l/100km

Here you can see the Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid in the test.

Suzuki Swift (Sport): Small car bestseller and favorite on the city streets

The Suzuki Swift has been around since 1983, and the model has undergone various facelifts and modernizations over the years.
The car is sold internationally in large numbers, for example in the USA, Japan, India and Australia.
It is also often made available as a rental car by car rental companies.
The Swift is now also available as a hybrid, thus adapting to the growing market for electric drives.
With its two-tone paintwork, it is similar in design to the Opel Adam, and the interior is clear and spacious.
For a car that is mainly used in the city, the Swift is an ideal choice.
It is also available as a dynamic sports version with even more driving fun.

  • Power: 66 kW / 90 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 12.3 s
  • Top speed: 165 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 4.3 l/100km

Here you can see the Suzuki Swift in a test with the experts from “auto motor sport”.
They take a close look at the small car and show you the equipment and performance of the popular Japanese car.

Suzuki SX4 (S-Cross): Mid-range car for everyday use with off-road potential

The Suzuki SX4 is described by the manufacturer itself as a “muscular everyday helper”.
The car is suitable for the whole family.
It should cut a fine figure both in the city and off-road.
With a fairly low average fuel consumption and the option of a hybrid drive, the car is definitely worth a closer look.
The design of the body is rather rough here, striking lines and a robust radiator grille make the SX4 look almost beefy.
A panoramic glass sunroof and chrome-look decorative elements are fitted to order and enhance the interior.

  • Power: 95 kW / 129 hp
  • 0 – 100 km/h: n. A.
  • Top speed: 190 km/h
  • Fuel consumption (combined)*: 4.9 l/100km

In this video, the SX4 Cross Hybrid is tested by professionals.
The experts put the mid-size car through its paces and introduce you to the performance and equipment of the SX4, which Suzuki itself describes as a “muscular everyday helper”.

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
Are you allergic or do you have special health requirements? No problem! We cooperate with a renowned German mattress manufacturer to offer customized solutions. Simply contact us and together we will find the ideal mattress for your needs.
