COLOUR ME INTRIGUED
Before we talk about the layout and interior features, let’ s talk colours. Majestic appears fond of the green seen here – both the cladding and the interior finishes. It was the same colour scheme we had on our review Navigator last year. However, there’ s a large range of interior and exterior colours and finishes from which to choose.
As for the build quality, the Navigator 196 conveys a strength of purpose – in no way does it feel flimsy or cheap. The layout won’ t set the world on fire; in fact, it’ s essentially the same as our previous Navigator, but that doesn’ t mean it doesn’ t work – there’ s a reason this rear-bathroom, forward-bedroom design is the most popular in the country, regardless of the manufacturer.
The most obvious update to the 2026 Navigator: the addition of acoustic panelling inside the bathroom and to the rear wall immediately as you enter. Majestic isn’ t the first to include acoustic panelling, and I’ m unsure as to the practical benefit here, but it certainly adds a layer of aesthetic sophistication that the earlier Navigators did not have.
The bathroom is fitted with a wallmounted front-loader washing machine, circular mirror, a cassette toilet and a fibreglass shower cubicle. When turned on, the LED strip lighting below the overhead lockers really sets off the acoustic panelling which, by the way, has been wrapped around the electrical conduit to the washing machine, and the finish is top notch. The control for the Fogatti instant hot water service is found here too.
