Freedo is the new panel van brand from Polish manufacturer Affinity RV, with three new models. The Affinity Freedom was launched a year ago, and this concept has now become a brand in its own right. With the Affinity Freedo, the Poles are presenting three layouts: the Freedo 541, the further development of the Freedom, as well as the Freedo 599 and Freedo 636.
What all three models have in common is that the driver’s cab is not integrated into the living area, as is usually the case with panel vans. Only the 636 has a small door through which the driver’s cab can be accessed. All three are also characterized by an interior design that can certainly be described as a dignified country house style. Finally, a lady from the audience at the CMT 2025 in Stuttgart aptly summarized her impression with “This is like home.”

Technical data
The basic vehicle is a Fiat Ducato with 120 hp and manual gearbox. The Affinity Freedo is available in 3 layout variants: Freedo RV 541, Freedo RV 599 and Freedo RV 636. The panel van is 210 cm wide and 264 cm high. Depending on the layout variant, the length is 541 cm, 599 cm or 636 cm.
The Affinity Freedo is consistently designed for 2 people, with 2 registered seats and just as many sleeping places. The technically permissible total weight is 3,500 kg.
Interior
The main design elements are white basic furniture with black accents, which are combined with wooden panels.
The interior is designed to make optimum use of the vehicle’s space. Life takes place entirely in the rear of the vehicle. The table is extendable. The pleasant upholstery materials ensure comfortable seating.
Within the layouts, all three also have a similar bathroom behind the driver’s seat. Everything you need is available here; the washbasin can be folded right into the wall to create space for showering. Cosmetics can be stored in the wall cupboard. A power socket is located behind the open mirror fronts.
In the 541 and 599, the kitchen is positioned next to it on the rear wall to the cab; in the 636, the Freedo uses the length to position the kitchen in the sliding door in the classic way and thus keep the passage into the cab free.
The kitchen has a 2-burner gas hob, a 70-liter refrigerator and a sink with cover.
The Affinity Freedo 636 also has a U-shaped seating group in the rear, which can be converted into a sleeping area. The other two have a higher transverse bed with a seating area in front of it. The table can be pushed under the bed.
Storage space
There is plenty of storage space under the bed, which is accessible through the hinged doors. There is also plenty of space for clothes and camping utensils in the wall cupboards. There is a spacious garage at the rear of the 541, which can even accommodate bicycles.
Technology and equipment
A gas hot-air heater with boiler from Truma and a 130 Ah living area battery are installed. A pleated insect screen for the sliding side door and a roof window with electric fan in the bathroom are included.
The standard equipment also includes an electric entrance step and two roof windows. The fresh water tank holds 95 liters and the waste water tank 75 liters.
Options include a solar package and more powerful living area batteries with 135 Ah or 200 Ah with winter package.
Exterior
The exterior of the Affinity Freedo is unspectacular. The white bodywork of the Fiat Ducato is typical, with no eye-catching features.
Price and availability
The Freedo 451 starts at EUR 64,100.00. The Freedo 599 starts at EUR 67,500.00 and the Freedo 636 at EUR 68,490.00. The vehicle can be ordered immediately from authorized dealers.
Conclusion and evaluation
With the Affinity Freedo, the Polish manufacturer has created a well thought-out panel van with plenty of comfort and a smart interior design. Its unique selling point is the separate driver’s cab: sitting, cooking, eating, living and sleeping take place entirely in the rear.
The clever use of space, high-quality equipment and practical details make it an ideal companion for couples or single travelers who want to travel independently.
The engine is somewhat expandable. The Freedo is only available with a manual six-speed gearbox and 120 hp turbo diesel. The Polish manufacturer currently has no plans for an automatic gearbox or a more powerful engine.
