Burstner Viseo i720G 2016 Review: Practical Luxury for Four

If you’re in the market for a well-designed A-class motorhome that combines practical features with comfortable living space, the Burstner Viseo i720G deserves your attention. This 2016 model offers a thoughtful balance of luxury and functionality that continues to make it a popular choice among experienced motorhome enthusiasts.

Built on the reliable Fiat Ducato 2.3 JTD chassis, this motorhome delivers a driving experience that feels secure and responsive. With its 3.5 tonne gross weight, you can drive it on a standard car licence while still enjoying the spacious interior that its 7.25m length provides.

Viseo i720G A-Class 7.25m Dimensions

You’ll find the Viseo i720G strikes an excellent balance between interior space and exterior manageability. At 7.25m long, 2.2m wide and 2.85m tall, it’s substantial enough to accommodate four people comfortably without feeling unwieldy on the road or when parking.

The 435kg payload allows you to bring along essential equipment and supplies without exceeding weight limits. This is particularly important for longer trips where you’ll want to pack more provisions. When parked, the full-length awning provides welcome shade and additional outdoor living space. The wider entrance door (a feature Burstner has incorporated in recent models) makes getting in and out easier, especially when carrying supplies or equipment.

The electric step automatically extends when you open the door, providing safe and convenient access to the interior. This thoughtful feature is particularly appreciated after a long day of activities when you’re returning to your mobile home.

Fiat Ducato 2.3 JTD with 6-Speed Gearbox

You’ll appreciate the responsive performance of the Fiat Ducato 2.3 JTD engine paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox. The cab is well-equipped with features that make longer journeys more comfortable and safer.

Cruise control allows you to maintain a steady speed on motorways, reducing driver fatigue. The cab air conditioning keeps you comfortable regardless of outside temperatures, while electric bus mirrors provide excellent visibility and can be adjusted without opening your window.

Safety features include driver and passenger airbags, and the twin reversing camera displayed in the top right corner of the dashboard makes parking this 7.25m vehicle considerably easier. The camera’s positioning gives you a clear view of what’s behind you when reversing into pitches. With just under 17,000 miles on the clock (as noted in the transcript), this 2016 model has been moderately used, suggesting plenty of life left in the engine and mechanical components.

Four-Person Living with Drop-Down Bed

When you step inside, you’ll immediately notice the thoughtful layout that maximizes the available space. The lounge area features two forward-facing seats with seatbelts, complemented by a side bench seat. When you swivel the driver and passenger seats around, you create a comfortable social space that can accommodate around five people.

The lounge includes a TV and overhead storage lockers, providing entertainment options and space for your belongings. The cab area above features a large drop-down double bed that can be lowered when needed, though it’s worth noting that with the driver and passenger seats in their upright position, the bed doesn’t lower to its full extent.

The Burstner control panel is conveniently located just above the habitation door, allowing you to monitor and control the motorhome’s systems easily. LED lighting throughout creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere while being energy-efficient.

Island Bed Plus Overcab Double

You’ll find the sleeping arrangements in the Viseo i720G particularly comfortable and well-designed. The rear features a generous island double bed with filling cushions already in place. This arrangement allows access from both sides of the bed, eliminating the need to climb over your partner during night-time bathroom visits.

Two large windows on either side of the bed provide excellent ventilation and views when you’re parked in scenic locations. This thoughtful design element enhances the pleasure of waking up in different locations.
The drop-down bed above the cab provides additional sleeping space, complete with a ladder for access and side barriers for safety. This arrangement allows the Viseo i720G to comfortably sleep four adults, making it suitable for family trips or traveling with friends.

Storage around the bedroom area is plentiful, with overhead lockers and side compartments providing ample space for clothing and personal items. The double-step arrangement makes accessing the bed easy and comfortable.

Well-Equipped Kitchen with 104-Litre Fridge

When preparing meals, you’ll appreciate the well-equipped kitchen area. The three-burner hob provides flexible cooking options, while the adjacent sink makes food preparation and cleanup straightforward. The 104-litre fridge offers ample space for fresh food storage, even on longer trips.

Storage in the kitchen is generous, with two full-width overhead lockers and two full-width storage bins below the counter. These are enhanced by LED lighting, making it easy to find what you need even in low light conditions.
The kitchen also features a grill for additional cooking options and 240V mains electrical outlets for appliances. The layout is compact but functional, allowing you to prepare proper meals without feeling cramped or limited.

Compact Bathroom with Separate Shower

You’ll find the bathroom compact but well-designed, featuring a sink with mirror and LED lighting for good visibility. The toilet is positioned for comfortable use, and the separate shower area helps keep the rest of the bathroom dry when showering.

Storage units in the bathroom provide space for toiletries and towels, making efficient use of the available space. While motorhome bathrooms are never spacious, this one offers all the essential facilities in a practical layout that works well for daily use.

Truma iNet Heating and Solar Power

The Viseo i720G comes equipped with Truma heating controls that are iNet ready, allowing for efficient climate control throughout the vehicle. This system provides both heating and hot water, essential for comfortable living in varying weather conditions.

Solar panels on the roof help maintain battery charge when you’re away from hookup, extending your independence and allowing for more remote stays. The comprehensive control panel lets you monitor power usage, water levels, and other critical systems at a glance.

The motorhome features both 12V and 240V electrical systems, with the latter available when connected to mains power at a campsite. This flexibility ensures you can use a wide range of appliances regardless of your location.

Full-Width Garage and Interior Storage

You’ll be impressed by the storage capacity of the Viseo i720G, starting with the full-width garage at the rear. This substantial space is perfect for bicycles, outdoor furniture, sports equipment, or bulky items that you don’t need inside the living area.

Inside, storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout the vehicle. The area in front of the bedroom features two covers of storage space, while the kitchen includes multiple overhead lockers and below-counter storage bins. The lounge area also offers overhead storage, ensuring you have places for all your belongings.

Access to storage under the island bed provides additional space for larger items, with the bed lifting to reveal a generous compartment. This multi-level approach to storage means you can bring along everything you need for extended trips without cluttering the living space.

Ideal for Couples with Occasional Guests

When considering how the Viseo i720G might fit your lifestyle, you’ll find it’s particularly well-suited to couples who occasionally travel with guests. The island bed provides comfortable sleeping for the primary users, while the drop-down bed accommodates occasional visitors.

For touring holidays, the combination of comfortable driving experience and comprehensive living facilities makes this motorhome ideal for extended trips. The four travel seats with seatbelts mean you can safely bring passengers along for day trips from your base.

Weekend getaways are equally well-served by this motorhome, with its quick setup time and easy-to-use systems making short breaks hassle-free. The 3.5-tonne weight means you can drive it on a standard licence, removing a potential barrier for many users.

Burstner Viseo vs Lyseo Alternatives

  • Burstner Lyseo models – If you’re looking for a slightly different layout or newer technology, the Lyseo range offers semi-integrated alternatives with similar quality standards
  • Fiat Ducato-based competitors – Models from manufacturers like Hymer, Dethleffs, or Rapido built on the same Fiat platform offer different interior layouts with similar driving characteristics
  • Newer Burstner Viseo models – Later versions feature updated interiors and technology while maintaining the same fundamental layout and quality

Why This 2016 German A-Class Delivers

The 2016 Burstner Viseo i720G offers you a well-designed, practical motorhome with thoughtful features that enhance both driving and living experiences. Its island bed layout with additional drop-down bed provides flexible sleeping arrangements, while the comprehensive kitchen and bathroom facilities ensure comfortable independent living.

With its 3.5-tonne weight keeping it accessible to standard licence holders and a reasonable 435kg payload, this motorhome strikes an excellent balance between size and practicality. The full-width garage and comprehensive interior storage solutions mean you won’t need to compromise on what you bring along.

If you’re looking for a motorhome that combines driving comfort with living luxury in a package that’s manageable for most drivers, the Viseo i720G deserves serious consideration. Its combination of German build quality, practical features, and comfortable living space continues to make it a popular choice in the pre-owned market.
