a) This is a recommended retail price based on German retail prices. Prices in other countries may differ due to currency conversion and country-specific VAT, fees and import duties. For the latest information, please always enquire with a local dealer about the prices applicable in your country.

* The specified mass in running order is a default value defined in the type-approval procedure. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the actual weighed mass in running order may deviate from the value stated above. Deviations of up to ± 5 % of the mass in running order are legally permissible and possible. The permissible range in kilograms is given in brackets after the mass in running order.  The manufacturer-specified mass for optional equipment is a calculated value for each type and layout that Dethleffs uses to determine the maximum weight available for factory-fitted optional equipment. The limitation of optional equipment is intended to ensure that the minimum pay-mass, i.e. the legally prescribed free mass for baggage and retrofitted accessories, is actually available for the vehicle load capacity of the vehicles delivered by Dethleffs.  The real weight of your vehicle ex works can only be determined when it is weighed at the end of the line. If, in exceptional cases, the weighing shows that the actual load capacity falls below theminimum pay-mass despite limiting the optional equipment due to a permissible weight deviation, we will check together with your trade partner and you whether we should, for example, increase the load capacity of the vehicle, reduce the number of seats or remove optional equipment before delivering the vehicle.  The technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle and the technically permissible maximum mass on the axle must not be exceeded.

Living in the T 46

Living

The interior feels spacious and inviting. The high-quality insulation and standard 6,000 W diesel heater keep things warm and cosy – even in freezing conditions.

  •

    Modern living

    The warm wood decor, combined with anthracite felt-look accents, brings a touch of modern comfort to the living room. The streamlined overhead locker doors – without visible handles – add to the contemporary, uncluttered aesthetic.

    (T 46 | SAROS)

  •

    Sporty, elegant interior design

    The light part-leather HERON upholstery lends the interior a distinctly modern and refined feel.

  •

    Create extra space in a jiffy

    The table features a practical swivel section which, when extended, allows the passenger seat to “take its place” at the table. While on the move, the additional tabletop slides away neatly beneath the main table.

  •

    Connectivity at its best

    The optional 32-inch smart TV can be extended and swivelled using a telescopic mount.

    As a true smart TV, it offers a host of extra features – from recording films onto a USB stick to mirroring your smartphone screen on the TV.

    For high-speed internet and smooth streaming, you can also opt for the 5G Wi-Fi router with its own roof antenna for optimal reception.

Sleeping

  • The key to a perfect night’s sleep

    Two comfy single beds (left: 2.02 m x 0.8 m, right: 1.92 m x 0.75 m) offer excellent – and most importantly, undisturbed – comfort while sleeping.

    The single beds can be quickly transformed into one large sleeping area spanning the full width of the vehicle – simply pull out the slatted frame between the beds and insert the extra cushion, which is supplied as standard. The resulting “double bed” can easily accommodate two adults and a child.

    (T 46)

  •

    Wardrobes with plenty of space

    Underneath the single beds, two illuminated wardrobes with clothes rails provide ample space for all your personal travel items. Blouses, shirts and jackets can be neatly hung on hangers – keeping them crease-free and ready to wear.

    (T 46)

  •

    A recipe for restful sleep

    The 15 cm-thick 7-zone cold foam mattresses, made from climate-regulating materials, are among the best you could wish for in terms of comfort. Paired with ergonomic wooden slatted bed frames, they are part of a well-designed sleep system that ensures a great night’s rest.

    (T 46 only)

  •

    USB-C charging ports

    Charge your phone and other devices overnight using the two USB-C charging ports on the rear wall.

Bathroom

  • A real shower room

    The bathroom in the Globebus Performance 4x4 features a clever swivel wall: when rotated, it transforms the bathroom into a fully enclosed, plastic-lined shower cubicle. Everything else you need is there, too: a large sink, plenty of storage space and a generously sized mirror – all complemented by pleasant ambient lighting.

    (Fig. 1/3)

  •

    Flexibility, thanks to the swivel wall

    To turn the space into a shower cubicle, simply swing the rear wall into position.

    Plenty of storage space is provided in the large bathroom cabinet. There are even two tooth brush holders, already installed.

    (Fig. 2/3)

  •

    A proper shower cubicle

    By simply swivelling the rear wall, the bathroom transforms into a fully enclosed, plastic-lined shower cubicle with its own shower fitting and plenty of elbow room.

    (Fig. 3/3)

  •

    Waterless toilet with sealed sanitary bags (option)

    A waterless Clesana toilet can be factory-fitted upon request. Disposal of the sealed collection bags is clean, convenient, germ-free and completely odourless. This system uses no water or chemical additives.

  •

    Everything in view

    The full-length mirror on the outside of the bathroom wall makes the space feel larger and is perfect for doing your hair or a quick outfit check.

Cooking

All Globebus Performance 4x4 models are equipped with compressor fridges – electrically powered and highly energy-efficient. Compressor technology offers several advantages: the fridge reaches the desired cooling temperature in a short time. This temperature is then maintained reliably – even if the outdoor temperature rises or the vehicle is parked on uneven ground. 

  •

    COOKING – Compact but clever

    The kitchen offers plenty of storage and shelf space, with a handy fold-out worktop extension for extra prep room. In the evening, the ambient lighting on the rear panel creates a warm, inviting atmosphere.

    (T 46)

  •

    Plenty of storage space

    The overhead kitchen lockers offer plenty of space for crockery and utensils and, thanks to the soft-close mechanism, they close gently and silently.

    (T 46)

  •

    Additional storage space

    All three drawers are easy to access and provide ample space – including the cutlery drawer at the top. The adjacent cupboard is perfect for bulkier items and even comes with a built-in waste bin.

    (T 46)

  •

    131 l compressor fridge

    The optional compressor fridge also impresses with its generous 131-litre capacity (T 46 only). It includes a 15-litre freezer compartment, perfect for bringing home a little “gelato”.
    An 83-litre compressor fridge with a 10-litre freezer compartment is fitted as standard.

    (T 46)

  •

    Keep two pots on the boil

    The twin burners on the gas hob are spaced far enough apart to be used comfortably at the same time. The sturdy pan supports ensure stability, while electric ignition adds convenience.

  •

    Multiflex rail system

    The Multiflex rail system is a flexible mounting solution for all your kitchen essentials. A range of practical accessories is available from Dethleffs Original Accessories – including a spice rack, tea towel rail, kitchen roll holder and much more.

  •

    Roof fan for quick air circulation

    A practical option for mobile chefs – the electric roof fan above the kitchen keeps the air fresh while you’re cooking up a feast. Depending on the setting, it either draws fresh air into the vehicle or extracts air. This means cooking odours can be vented directly outside, and on hot days, it creates a pleasant cooling breeze. Multiple speed settings are available – on the lowest setting, the fan is whisper-quiet, making it perfect for gentle overnight ventilation.

    The result: Traction and comfort on any terrain
  • 70 cm-wide habitation door

    A fly-screen blind is installed as standard, while the window in the door and the central locking system are available as optional extras.
  • Spacious rear garage
    … with access from both sides and new, smooth-running twist/quick-release latches. Practical storage compartments keep things neat and tidy.

    (T 16)
  • The front protection bar protects the front of the vehicle – especially the radiator – from damage. You can order it as an accessory from your Dethleffs dealer.

    (Dealer accessory)
  • Depending on the model, you can add a 3.5 m (T 16) or a 4.0 m awning (T 46). Both feature integrated LED lighting along their entire length – not just stylish, but also highly practical after dark.
  • 5G Wi-Fi router
    Your gateway to the web: the optional Wi-Fi router is neatly integrated into the overhead locker above the seating lounge. It delivers ultra-fast data transfer – whether you’re streaming videos, uploading holiday photos or working on the go.
  • SCU lite – your central control hub
    Conveniently located above the door, the SCU lite panel gives you access to all essential vehicle data and lets you control on-board systems like the lighting, heating and even the fridge. And best of all: these functions can also be operated remotely via the Dethleffs Connect app on your smartphone.
  • Always within reach
    The open shelves above the cab provide space for all those essentials you need to keep close to hand – even while driving.
  • A car-like driving experience
    The VW Crafter cab is clean, modern and feels just like driving a premium car. This impression is further underlined by its confident on-road performance. Advanced assistance systems come as standard, including Lane Keep Assist, cruise control and hill start/descent control.
    Powerful acceleration is delivered by the 2.0 l TDI SCR engine with 163 hp (120 kW) paired with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission.
  • AirCare Climatronic
    The advanced climate control system ensures a pleasant temperature in the cab at all times – helping to make your journey more relaxed and, as a result, safer.
  • Electronic parking brake
    The electronic parking brake replaces the traditional handbrake lever, freeing up space in the cab – especially handy when swivelling the seats.
    The included “Auto Hold” function makes hill starts effortless.
  • Multimedia
    The standard setup includes the “Composition” radio with a 10-inch display and four speakers.

    The optional “DiscoverPro” radio and navigation system features a 12-inch screen (see image) and offers integrated navigation, a larger display and a range of additional functions.
  • Air suspension on the rear axle
    The air pressure – and with it, the damping performance and ground clearance – can be individually adjusted for the left and right rear wheels, depending on the load or road conditions.
    The air suspension for the rear axle comes as standard on the T 46 and is available as an option on the T 16.
  • Water filter
