Built on the VW Crafter and featuring advanced all-wheel-drive technology, the Globebus Performance 4x4 opens up new possibilities: take the road less travelled and reach stunning spots that would otherwise be out of bounds. Even on rough tracks, in wet conditions or snow, you can count on reliable traction and peace of mind.
And the Globebus Performance 4x4 offers far more than four-wheel drive – including full off-grid capability,
state-of-the-art connectivity and an exceptional level of standard equipment.
The Globebus Performance 4x4 combines a new level of travel freedom with compact exterior dimensions, outstanding comfort throughout, and – thanks to the VW Crafter chassis – an exceptional driving experience.
Discover an entirely new way to travel in the Globebus Performance 4x4 – now available with a permissible total weight starting at just 3.5 tonnes.
Living in the Globebus Performance 4x4
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.

Spacious living in a compact format
The T 16 is just 625 cm long – but still offers an impressive amount of space and freedom of movement. The cleverly arranged mid-height fridge enhances the sense of openness by allowing an unobstructed line of sight through to the bedroom.
To set the mood in the evening, the Light Moments ambient lighting system creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere using a blend of direct and indirect light sources (option).
(T 16 | 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) -
Compact yet roomy – thanks to the French bed
The generously sized French bed in the T 16 makes efficient use of the available space, while still offering a spacious sleeping area measuring 198 x 142/130 cm.
Side windows on both sides and a skylight ensure excellent ventilation.
Subtle ambient lighting – discreetly integrated into the rear wall – creates a relaxed and inviting evening atmosphere in conjunction with the illuminated open shelf.
(T 16) -
Plenty of space for your holiday outfits
The illuminated wardrobe beneath the French bed includes a clothes rail, so your jackets, shirts and blouses can be stored on hangers – and kept wrinkle-free. And there’s still loads of space for everything else: shoes, bathrobes, large beach towels – and probably a few other essentials you’ll think of …
(T 16) -
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) -
Get creative in the kitchen
The kitchen in the T 16 is fully equipped with a two-burner gas hob with electric ignition, a sink with hot water system, and plenty of storage space – both in the kitchen unit and the overhead kitchen locker.
A fold-out worktop extension provides extra prep space when needed. And thanks to the sturdy folding mechanism, you can cook with confidence – no need to worry about stability.
(T 16) -
Cool thinking
The 83-litre compressor fridge with 10-litre freezer compartment is positioned at mid-height – making it easy to reach and open without disrupting the open, spacious feel of the interior.
The surface above the fridge is the ideal spot for a coffee machine – a 230 V socket is conveniently located on the rear wall.
(T 16) -
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.
