IH 600 CRL, Volkswagen 174bhp Automatic

The IH 600 CRL is a premium two-berth campervan built on the Volkswagen Crafter base, offering a blend of luxury, practicality, and compact design that makes it a standout in the van conversion market.

Design and Build Quality

The IH 600 CRL immediately impresses with its high-top Crafter base, measuring just under 6 meters in length (5.99m), which keeps it maneuverable while still providing ample interior space. The exterior styling is sleek and understated, though IH is known for bold custom paint options if you want something more eye-catching. Inside, the craftsmanship is evident: high-quality cabinetry, premium upholstery, and thoughtful detailing give the van a boutique feel. Unlike mass-market conversions, IH’s hand-built approach ensures durability and a sense of individuality.

Layout and Comfort

The rear lounge layout is the star of the show. It provides a spacious seating area that easily converts into a comfortable double bed. This flexibility makes the van ideal for both daytime relaxation and restful nights. The lounge feels airy thanks to large windows, and the seating is plush enough for extended use. The side kitchen is well-equipped, featuring a two-ring gas hob & one induction hob, oven / grill, fridge, and ample storage. Opposite sits the side washroom, which includes a toilet and shower—an essential for those who prefer self-sufficiency on the road.

Driving Experience

Built on the VW Crafter, the IH 600 CRL benefits from Volkswagen’s refined 2.0TD engine with 174bhp, offering smooth performance and car-like handling. Owners often remark that it drives more like a large SUV than a motorhome, making long journeys less tiring. The automatic gearbox further enhances ease of use, particularly in urban settings or on winding country roads.

Practicality and Features

With a gross weight of 3,500kg, the van remains within standard driving license limits, making it accessible to most users. Heating is provided via a blown-air system, ensuring comfort in colder months. Storage is intelligently designed.

Value and Verdict

The IH 600 CRL is undeniably a high-end purchase. However, what you’re paying for is bespoke craftsmanship, premium materials, and a design tailored for comfort and practicality. For couples or solo travelers who value quality over sheer size, it’s a superb option.

In summary: the IH 600 CRL is a beautifully built, compact campervan that balances luxury with usability. It’s perfect for those who want a stylish, maneuverable vehicle without compromising on comfort.
