2026 Kenworth Motorhome just shocked the RV world! At a packed event in Las Vegas yesterday, the company pulled the covers off the all-new 2026 Kenworth Expedition Series Motorhome. This isn’t some re-badged Class A – it’s a real semi-truck-based coach that looks mean, drives smooth, and finally brings hybrid power to the super-luxury segment.
Bold Design
The first thing you notice is the aggressive front grille borrowed from Kenworth’s famous T680 truck line. Massive chrome bars, sharp LED headlights, and a sloping hood give it a look that says “get out of my way.” The body is painted in deep metallic colors with blacked-out accents – people were stopping in their tracks to take pictures. At almost 45 feet long and over 13 feet tall, it’s huge, but the sleek lines make it look fast even when parked.
Hybrid Engine Power
Under that long hood sits the biggest news: a PACCAR MX-13 hybrid powertrain making 605 horsepower and a crazy 2,250 lb-ft of torque. Pair that with an electric motor good for another 200 hp, and this monster can climb any mountain without breaking a sweat. Kenworth claims up to 30% better fuel economy than traditional diesel coaches (real-world tests are showing around 10-12 mpg so far). You can even drive the first 30 miles on pure electric power – perfect for quiet campground arrivals.
Luxury Features
Step inside and it’s pure five-star hotel. Real Italian leather captain chairs, heated and cooled with massage function. The living area has two huge slide-outs, a 75-inch 8K TV, electric fireplace, and a full kitchen with residential fridge, induction cooktop, and even a wine cooler. The bedroom features a king bed that lifts electrically to reveal tons of storage, plus a washer-dryer combo. The bathroom? Think spa – double vanity, huge glass shower, and heated marble floors.
Smart Technology
Kenworth didn’t hold back on gadgets. The Kenworth SmartCoach system uses a 17-inch touchscreen dash to control everything – lights, climate, slides, even the leveling system. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Starlink internet built-in, and 360-degree cameras with bird’s-eye view make parking this giant surprisingly easy. There’s even a mobile app that lets you preheat the coach, check tire pressure, or see inside cameras from your phone.
Price
The moment everyone was waiting for – the price. The 2026 Kenworth Expedition Series starts at $1,249,000 for the base 45-foot model. Loaded versions with custom paint upgrades, extra slides, and the premium interior package will push past $1.6 million. Yes, that’s supercar money, but buyers get a full 5-year/500,000-mile warranty and Kenworth’s legendary dealer network that services big rigs 24/7.
