Never sacrifice your driving experience again
The new Newell Cockpit is a giant leap forward in the evolution of the motorhome driving experience. Combining advanced electronic instrumentation, ergonomic and intuitive touch screen controls, and a level of design and material refinement only found in the most luxurious automobiles, the new dash must be seen to be appreciated. Stepping in to the driver’s seat is immersing yourself in a wraparound digital driving experience.
THE Infotainment panel
The centerpiece of the new Newell cockpit is the incredible 15” Infotainment Panel located in the center console. Taking over a year of design and development, this new system consolidates the multitude of driver tools into one intuitive, dynamic, high-resolution touchscreen. Ergonomically placed within the newly designed dash, the screen can be controlled by touchscreen, or the control knob on the left arm console. Simple icons allow the user to navigate between climate control, entertainment selections, exterior camera views, navigation, leveling system, mirror control and much more. No other motorhome has anything close.
Instrument cluster
With its industry leading 15” display, the Newell Instrument display provides a dynamic, customizable review of the coach’s driving systems. Presented in crystal clear 1024 x 768 retina clarity, the gauges jump off the screen like never before. The instrument cluster allows the driver to monitor and manage a broad range of engine diagnostics, driving preferences, TPMS setup, camera views and more. Customization options allow the user to change background images, color schemes, and information displayed. The graphic scheme incorporates the newest display techniques to make it easier for the driver to locate and experience the information needed when piloting the coach.
house management
Beautifully integrated into the new cockpit is a mini iPad offering complete control over all house systems to the driver or passenger via the Intrepid 2.0 app. Mounted on a launchport station, the mini iPad charges in place, but is easily removable so it can be utilized throughout the coach. This new location for the Intrepid 2.0 touchscreen enables the addition of a new large format monitor in the driver overhead which integrates with the Infotainment panel to offer a multitude of camera view options.
improved passenger control
Over and above the incredible improvements to the driver’s cockpit, new and improved controls have been developed for the passenger chair as well. A new full color touchscreen has been deployed for the passenger to have greater control over climate control, music selection, and navigation. Conveniently located on the passenger side of the center console, this new control station is sure to increase the comfort and convenience for those in the passenger seat.
In addition to the eye-catching electronic package in the new dash, the placement and geometry of the overall structure of the dash assembly increases the safety for drivers and passengers alike. Making use of improved line of sight, more ergonomic panel placement, larger buttons, and increased passenger control gives the drivers the ability to spend less time looking away from the road. A tip out storage compartment under the Infotainment screen, and an integrated stainless steel cup holder add smart convenience to the overall design.
Design Refinement
As with any Newell innovation, ensuring the aesthetic direction of the dash matched with the electronic functions were priorities. The new dash conveys the premium feel that Newell owners have come to appreciate. The new design incorporates contemporary lines and smooth material transitions throughout the massive width of the dash. Blending chrome and stainless accents with warm leathers, hand-crafted baseball stitching, and customizable woodgrain trim pieces, the new dash exudes luxurious refinement.
