The Swift Group is going into its sixth decade of making caravans and motorhomes in style. The manufacturer has bagged an impressive 11 awards for its 2024 season leisure vehicles, leaving the competition in its wake.

Swift’s Elegance Grande range has been its biggest winner, securing victory in five awards, including Caravan of the Year. With features including onboard 4G Wi-Fi, Alde underfloor heating, Alde Flow for uninterrupted hot water and the Swift Command panel to control the onboard systems, it’s no surprise these models were hard to beat.

The 11 prizes were split across five awarding bodies, with the Elegance Grande 835 scooping Best Luxury Caravan, as well as overall winner at the Caravan Magazine Awards. The Elegance 835 is a four-berth, twin-axle model with an MTPLM of 2077kg. Having a wide front parallel lounge means there’s lots of space for dining and relaxing, while the mid-transverse washroom and rear transverse bed complete the layout.

Meanwhile, the Elegance Grande 760 won Best Caravan for Seasonal Pitches at the Practical Caravan Awards 2024. This model is brand new for this season and is a four-berth, single-axle caravan with an MTPLM of 1871kg. The layout is characterised by its L-shaped lounge, mid-transverse washroom and rear island fixed bed.

At the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s Caravan Design Awards 2024, both the Elegance Grande 780 and the Elegance Grande 860 took home awards. The former in the Eight-foot Wide category and the latter for Any Caravan over £45,000.

Also new on the market, the Elegance Grande 780 is a four-berth, single-axle model with an MTPLM of 1892kg. The layout boasts a parallel front lounge, mid-transverse fixed bed and rear bathroom. The Elegance Grande 860 has a new layout for 2024! This four-berth, twin-axle caravan with an MTPLM of 2077kg features an L-shaped lounge at the front, a dedicated TV area, mid-transverse washroom and rear island bed.

The Swift Group was founded in Hull in 1964 by Ken Smith and has grown to become the biggest manufacturer of caravans, holiday homes and motorhomes in the UK. It’s also the only firm making leisure homes that operates in all three sectors of the market. In 2017, it branched out into motorhome hire with Swift Go, offering vehicles on loan from hubs in Edinburgh and Stockport.

Swift prides itself on all its leisure vehicles being made in the UK at its production site in East Yorkshire. Each model comes with a comprehensive, long-term warranty and the company promises a good aftercare experience, meaning you can have peace of mind once you drive your new caravan or motorhome off the lot.
