Cadillac RV Apollo vs Zeus: common questions
What is the difference between the Apollo and the Zeus from Cadillac RV?
Both are on-road vans in the same Cadillac RV line-up, so the differences are in the published figures rather than in the category. On the specs Cadillac RV publishes, the Apollo starts at $69,990 and the Zeus at $89,990, their ATMs are 3,200 kg and 3,500 kg, solar is 250 W against 1,000 W and payload works out at 650 kg and 700 kg. The full side-by-side table below covers every figure both ranges publish, and a gap stays a dash rather than a guess. Floorplan choice within each range changes the layout and the sleeping capacity, so confirm the exact build against the compliance plate before you commit.
Which is lighter, the Apollo or the Zeus?
Empty, the Apollo is lighter, with a tare weight of 2,550 kg versus 2,800 kg. For towing, the number that matters is each van's maximum loaded weight: the Apollo has an ATM of 3,200 kg and the Zeus 3,500 kg - check that figure against your car's braked towing limit.
Which caravan can carry more, the Apollo or the Zeus?
The Zeus has the larger payload: 700 kg of carrying capacity (ATM minus tare) versus 650 kg. That is the weight of water, gear, food and accessories you can legally load before hitting the van's ATM.
Is the Apollo or the Zeus cheaper?
The Apollo has the lower starting price at $69,990, compared with $89,990 for the Zeus. Both are published "from" prices - options and on-road costs move the final figure, so confirm the drive-away price with the dealer.
How many people can the Apollo and Zeus sleep?
The Apollo sleeps 2-4 and the Zeus sleeps 2-6. Sleeping capacity depends on the floorplan you choose within each range.
