Over the years, motorhomes have not only risen in popularity but have evolved to become symbols of luxury, freedom, and an expression of travel style. Among the marques that have contributed to this evolution, Autotrail stands tall.
Autotrail, a name synonymous with quality and innovation, has consistently pushed the boundaries of what motorhomes can be. Their commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and an inherent understanding of wanderlust have cemented their reputation in the motorhome industry.
Enter the F-Line range, a testament to Autotrail's dedication to excellence. Designed for those who refuse to compromise on comfort while seeking adventure, the F-Line models exude a blend of modern aesthetics, state-of-the-art amenities, and engineering prowess.
Dive with us into this comprehensive guide as we navigate the nuances of the F60, F62, F68, F70, F72, and F74 models, ensuring your next adventure is powered by the best that Autotrail has to offer.
Here's a glimpse of the features that stand as the backbone of the entire F-Line range:
Every F-Line model is built upon the robust and efficient EcoBlue Ford Transit chassis. This not only ensures a smooth driving experience but also promises reliability, no matter where your adventures take you.
While the standard 130bhp engine is a common feature across the range, some models also come with a powerful 170BHP variant, catering to those who seek that extra boost of power on their journeys.
Bringing the outside world a little closer, each model in the F-Line range boasts a panoramic roof skylight. This ensures ample natural light, enriching the interior ambiance and offering breathtaking views, especially under a starlit sky.
Comfort isn’t merely a luxury but a standard with the F-Line. Thanks to the Whale Heat Air space and Expanse water heating systems, controlling your living environment is easy and intuitive. This chassis-mounted system also cleverly creates additional storage and living space.
The F-Line doesn't just prioritise function; it champions design. Expect modern aesthetics reflected in the ample LED lighting, a youthful vibe, and interiors that seamlessly marry style with utility.
Recognising the modern traveller's need to stay connected, the F-Line models offer a super-fast portable Wi-Fi option. Whether it’s streaming, working, or simply staying in touch with loved ones, the F-Line ensures you’re always online.
While the specifics might vary, the promise of comfort doesn’t. From spacious rear lounges to optional electronic drop-down beds, the F-Line caters to both the solo traveller and the bustling family.
Beauty meets function in the F-Line's sleek and aerodynamic low profile, ensuring not just head-turns wherever you go but also enhanced fuel efficiency.

When choosing your ideal motorhome, assess your unique travel needs and preferences. Whether it's the compact luxury of the F68 or the spacious grandeur of the F74, the Autotrail F-Line range offers something for every kind of traveller.
Navigating through the myriad of options when choosing a motorhome can be both exciting and daunting. The Autotrail F-Line series offers a range of models, each with its distinct features, catering to different travel needs and preferences. Here are some key factors to contemplate as you consider investing in an F-Line model:
The F-Line range starts with the F60 priced from approximately £69,000, which offers a compact luxury for couples and small families. As you progress through the range, the models come with added features and space, with the F74 priced from £77,000. It's essential to weigh the price against the features and benefits each model provides.
Remember, while price is a significant factor, the value and long-term benefits of your chosen model play an equally crucial role in the decision-making process.
Weekend Getaways:
If you're seeking short escapes, then you might value manoeuvrability and ease of setup. The F60 and F62, with their compact size, are perfect for these quick trips.
Extended Holidays:
For longer journeys or holidays, models like the F70 and F74, which offer more sleeping spaces and amenities, might be preferable.
Consider where you'll be parking the motorhome when it's not in use. All the models have a similar width, but their lengths differ. The compact F60 or F62 might be easier to park in tighter spots, while the more extended F70, F72, and F74 models might need more space. If you're considering winter storage, also think about the costs and availability of suitable storage solutions in your area.
Couples:
The F68 is tailor-made for couples, with its panoramic lounge and intimate setting.
Families:
With berths for four people, models like the F70, F72, and F74 cater to families. The F72, with its two separate lounges, might be especially appealing to families, offering distinct spaces for adults and children.
Groups:
If you're travelling with friends, the F74 with its island bed and potential for an additional dropdown bed can offer very comfortable sleeping arrangements.
What are the non-negotiables for you? Do you need a larger fridge and freezer for longer trips? Is a panoramic view a must-have? Does the idea of an island bed appeal to you? Assessing your preferences will help streamline your decision.
Consider not just your current needs but also potential future requirements. If you plan to expand your family or envision taking longer trips in the future, investing in a larger model now might be a wise choice.
Remember, while specifications and features are essential, the best motorhome is the one that aligns with your lifestyle, needs, and aspirations.
