Swift Escape

The Swift Escape has long been a staple of the Group's motorhome portfolio


Innovations for 2017

The most wide-ranging revamp in the Swift line-up is reserved for its biggest seller, the Escape, which has seen six new models added to the fleet.

All eight Escapes are low line-profiles and have been given a new glass reinforced polyester overcab pod design.

Each model is constructed on a Fiat Ducato Chassis, with a Euro 6 130 bhp engine coming as standard.

Last season’s two-berth 622 and four-berth 664 are carried forward but joining them are four four-berths – the front lounge/end washroom 614, end lounge/front dinette 674, front lounge/rear twin single beds 684 and front lounge/island bed 694.

Families are well catered for by six-berths 685 – front dinette/rear lounge – and the 695 – front lounge/rear bunks.

Manually operated drop-down beds are offered as options to boost sleeping spaces in the 674, 684 and 694.

The new-look Escape has smart blue side graphics, interior and exterior walls in GRP plus a new one-piece full-height GRP back panel.

Interiors get a boost with a new overhead locker design and finish with white cupboard doors. New Nova soft furnishings and the provision of LED lighting throughout ramps up lounging and sleeping comfort.
