Swift’s Bessacarr takes stop spot in motorhome category for 2015
The Swift Bessacarr has been chosen as Motorhome of the Year 2015 in the CaravanTimes Awards 2015.
The Awards, as voted for by you, saw Swift’s Bessacarr gain 27 per cent of votes in a sweeping victory which also saw the Elddis Autoquest hit second place with 19.1 per cent of the vote share. Swift also featured in third place, with 12.7 per cent of you voting for the Bolero.
The first place finish for Swift takes over from where Bailey of Bristol left off last year, after Bailey received the same accolade for 2014 for its Approach Autograph motorhome range.
Elsewhere in the same category the Elddis Autoquest took a respectable second place with 19.1 per cent of the voting share, whilst Swift continued to feature with its Bolero in third place, garnering 12.7 per cent.
Totally restyled both inside and out for 2016, it’s easy to see why the Swift Bessacarr range took first place for 2015.
Powered by the Fiat 2.3 litre, 130bhp Euro 5+ turbo diesel engine, all models have a six speed gearbox and automatic option. There is also the option to add cab air-conditioning, cruise control and a Status 570 TV aerial with the keenly priced Lux pack.
Each Bessacarr cab within the 2016 range comes with captain style seats and a DAB radio with bluetooth phone connection, handy storage area and USB charging port. Further enhancements for 2-16 include a new DAB radio with mirror antenna and 100W solar panel (40W on the 424).
‘Aralie Sen’ woodgrain with smoked oak inserts to the gloss upper locker doors combined with rich dark brown and cream soft furnishings gives a ’boutique hotel’ feel to the interior, whilst exclusive Duvalay Duvalite mattresses on all fixed beds will enable a perfect night’s sleep.
Suitable for all seasons, the Bessacarr’s powerful Truma Combi boiler, easily controlled by a new digital panel, and Winter Pack come fitted as standard.
Meanwhile, outside, standard features include reversing camera for easy manoeuvring, gloss white cab mirror covers and a roll-out awning.
Congratulations to Swift on a job well done.
