Nissan NV350 Caravan Eleganza camper 2026: price, launch date and zoned cabin layout

Nissan Peasefield Craft and Kato Motor have built a new Eleganza camper on the Nissan NV350 Caravan Super Long High Roof. It will be unveiled July 11–12 at the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026 in Tokyo Big Sight, with Japanese sales starting the same day.

The core idea isn’t just furniture bolted into a van — it’s zoned functions. Inside there’s a lounge, a permanent sleeping area and a separate cargo compartment. The driver doesn’t have to break down a dinette every night just to lie down: the bed is already made, and gear stays in its own part of the cabin. For road trips that matters more than extra decor, since it saves time at camp and cuts down on clutter inside.

The base Caravan is the Super Long version with standard width and a high roof. Body length is 5,080 mm, height is 2,285 mm; inside, the builders say, an adult can stand up and move around. Kato Motor uses handmade solid-wood furniture, and the insulation draws on experience running vans through snowy Niigata — the cabin is meant to handle both summer heat and cold-weather trips.

A separate advantage is the tie-in with Nissan Peasefield Craft: buyers get not just a custom camper but support through a dedicated Nissan service channel, including maintenance and inspections. That matters for vehicles like this — a home-built layout is cheaper up front but harder to service and register.

Elsewhere, this niche is a patchwork of parallel-imported vans and one-off conversions, each solving the space problem its own way. The Japanese approach wins with careful zoning rather than a race for sleeping capacity — a fast “drive, work, sleep” routine with no cabin rebuild required.

Eleganza has no headline horsepower or battery numbers, but it does have a logic that’s rare among campers: cargo doesn’t get in the way of sleep, and the bed doesn’t swallow the whole van. As Nissan showed with the Caravan and NV200 Vanette MYROOM at the same show, zoned layouts on the Caravan platform are becoming a theme of this year’s Tokyo Camping Car Show.
