Swift Caravans has announced the launch of its re-designed Swift Charisma and Sterling Europa ranges.

Known for their dynamic range of tourers, Swift have revealed a number of cosmetic and build improvements to these established favourites.

The Charisma and Europa 565 models have been reconfigured with enhanced layouts, incorporating a separate shower and a better rear bedroom, while the 570 model will house a new 6 berth front lounge, and a side dinette which can double up as a bunk bed.

Nick Page, Commercial Director for Swift Group commented: "We believe the new Charisma and Europa ranges lead their class with the best specification and price combination to offer a package that is hard to beat."

The first public viewing will be at the Caravan Extravaganza (The Lawns) on the 4th - 5th September 2010 followed by a more extensive product launch at the International Caravan and Motorhome Show at NEC Birmingham on the 12th - 17th October.

New models in both ranges will come with Grade 3 heating and insulation - Swift promises will provide "all year round touring comfort". The new heating system reportedly allows the caravan to maintain a comfortable 20oC even when outside temperatures plummet to -15 oC,

The Charisma and Europa ranges will maintain their class leading 1.95 metre headroom, as well as high security entrance locks and shock absorbers for more stable towing. Upgraded Hancook branded tyres will be used on all touring caravans providing an extra 10% load factor and improved braking performance.
