Houston-based TAXA Outdoors has expanded its collection with updates and renovations to its Mantis and Cricket habitats for 2021. In conjunction with the 2021 launch, TAXA will debut 360-degree virtual tours of the new models on taxaoutdoors.com to offer an inside look at the key new interior and exterior features and updates.
TAXA said that given the considerable lifestyle changes many have experienced in 2020, its design team has worked to pivot its design to accommodate the new needs of consumers. TAXA said it has always prioritized flexibility and minimal spaces, and how the consumer can maximize the adaptability of the habitats – and the updates to the 2021 Mantis and Cricket reflect that more than ever before.
“At TAXA, we strive for continuous improvement,” said CEO and founder Garrett Finney. “We listened to customer feedback to make thoughtful changes that we hope are reflected in our 2021 model year update. We can’t wait for people to get out, relax and explore the outdoors in these two new models.”
TAXA said its 2021 Mantis offers more living space for bigger families and an open-air design intended to bring the outdoors in. Innovations include an upgraded air conditioner unit, updates to the kitchen area, and increased storage throughout the rig.
The 2021 Mantis starts at $46,200 MSRP.
The 2021 TAXA Cricket offers a NASA-inspired human habitat comfortably fits two adults and two kids and features integrated plumbing and electrical systems for more comfortable trips off-grid.
The 2021 Cricket’s kitchen has been completely redesigned, electrical and plumbing systems concentrated in one spot, allowing for easier maintenance and repair. An HDPE backsplash panel, tough birch plywood and high-pressure laminate countertops offer an improved kitchen workspace, and a new separate Dometic sink and two-burner stove allows for more space to cook, the company said.
In addition, like the Mantis, the 2021 Cricket features additional storage.
The 2021 Cricket starts at $31,800 MSRP.
