#swift #caravan
Hello and welcome back to here we toe today I’m at the great holiday home show here in harut and I’m going to be having a first look at the Swift Elegance Grande 2024 models the six layouts Al together two of those are single axles the other four are twin axle Caravans
But they are all 8 ft wide these are the top of the range Swift Caravans so we’re going to fire in have a look around get a few facts and figures although there will be a link in the description below for the full lengths weights and all the
Rest of it but let’s get cracked on so here we go let’s start with the first of all with the two single axle models so this is say the Swift Elegance Grand or Grande they’re top of the range they are on the ALCO chassis they have got ATC we
Can see this nice big uh front window here we’ve got the front Locker there with the the black trim on it as well almost like a carbon fiber effect with um a slight red decal that you can probably just see there we’ll go down the near side first of all so on the
Near side we have got the white side although they have now Chang to this silver strip that you can probably see there and then we have got red decals so on the front we’ve got our huge big feet we’ve got a front Locker box and then
Here we’ve got our gas point we’ve got a television aerial and we’ve got our 230 electric hook up there as you can see some of the models might be different as we go around but we’ll have a look we have got a service light just up there
And we’ve got a service light there and Up on the Roof we can see the aerial as well there so on this model the 760 we’ve got vents our fridge freezer vents here on the near side we’ve got a locker box there as well and then we
Come around the back and we can see we’ve got the large 8T wide rear end we’ve got pre-installation for a two lay bike crack which hopefully you can just make out there in this light then we’ve got that black strip there with elegance and we’ll move around to the
Offs side so on the offside we’ve got another Locker box we can see our toilet cassette as well just here we’ve got the alloy wheels that we’re getting these decals as well I’ll just show you these if you can see the Swifts the little Swift Birds that’s quite nice that’s
Across the range now as far as I know we’ve got another service light there so if you come out in the dark to do your water or Services you’ve at least got some illumination we can see here we’ve got our um battery box under there we’ve
Got under here our water point so that’s for your water pump and that’s for the water flow if you want to do a direct tap and we’ve also got an external little shower Point here and then we’ve got the Alder control there as well so in terms of
Size as only been 8 ft wide these single axle models I think they’re about 7 m and 58 cm so that’s the length that you’re looking at and weights and measures you can if we just have a look so this has got an mtplm of
1,871 kilos and you can take it up to 1,900 so that’s a fairly heavy single axle van let’s go in and have a look so as we go in now this is nice so this model is 43,000 so I say it is top of the range we’ve got this large television that’s been
Put in for display if you can see that so that’s obviously going to go on that wall we’ve got storage lockers we’ve got the Elegance name badge here we’ve got these big sunroof uh windows and then we’ve got the L-shaped wraparound in leather I’ll just have a feel so it’s like gray
Leather yeah that feels nice we’ve got uh curtains around the Windows we’ve got these sort of fabric boards and we do have blinds and fly screens some little LED lights underneath we can just see there I’ll just see if we can have a look in one of these little box these
Little lockers boxes one of these lockers there we go so that’s your storage in this model and then let’s come around and have a look at the kitchen so the kitchen’s on the offside nice to see a really good size flap more worktop space we’ve got these little
Drawers as well oh nice Cutlery drawer and is this going to be some sort of rack yeah we’ve got some more pullout drawers there more drawers then we’ve got a fford gas oven Grill hob it has got the electric plate I think there is an extractor as well which I would
Expect on a top end van we’ve got that nice Splash back there again with the Swifts a microwave that’s at a good height the operation here we’ got a light above the other and we’ve got the extractor controls just see what’s in this cupboard if I can find where that
Opens um that’s not bad we do get as well if you can see up there you do get WiFi standard on this Caravan and I think as well you do get um a 100 watt solar panel is standard but you say you do get that WiFi so that’s the kitchen
Space and because this caravan’s 8 foot wide you do get a good amount of floor space as we can see as we come in our control panels are all above the door we’ve got the control for the Alder W Central Heating and I believe it does have under floor heating as well I’ll
Put a link in the description below so you can check everything out we’ve then got the dtic tower fridge and freezer this is a good size I think this one’s about 140 L this one so a large fridge freezer little bit of storage down the sides here and then we come into the
Center wash room on this single axle van I’m must say for a single axle it feels really big in here um shower cubicle now that’s nice massive shower cubicle I love this splashback effect that’s really nice good amount of floor space and then we’ll do the washroom on the
Way back but we’ll Venture into the bedroom there’s a little bit of lowlevel lighting you might be able to see that some wardrobe space overhead lockers a purple effect sort of suede headboard the 6’3 long bed all these models have a 6’3 bed as far as I know on the island
Beds 6’3 in length we get a nice mirror here there is a plug socket down there for doing hair straighteners or hair drers and on this opposite side here we’ve got somewhere to put the television so let me try and get a different angle on the bedroom for US ah
Just over there as well you might be able to see some USBS um as well on the bed so that that’s nice and there’s some sort of I’m not sure if I’ve got oh and there’s USBS here as well um let’s just pull this back yeah I think this bed I’m
Not even sure if that’s electrically operated there’s some sort of switch over there um I might go press it should I do it let’s let’s go see what happens hold on stand by so let me just press this oh well well that was a huge disappointment it didn’t do anything but
Yeah so I don’t know I’ll have to read up myself a washroom let’s have a look oh this is nice so in this washroom again top of the range and it’s nice to see they’ve actually put some effort in F for toilet storage cupboard um there’s
A shaver socket there as well good size mirror I like this sink I like the space around here you can get into that uh radiator there for the Alder system and let’s have a quick look at this again at this shaped Lounge area right wonderful
Do you know what that’s nice um so there we go that’s the 760 the other single axles over here let’s go do this so this model this is the 780 I won’t go all the way around the outside because we’ve seen that but let’s fire in and have a
Look at these layouts so this is the 780 the Elegance Grand single axle 8T wide again 43 and 1/2 ,000 let’s go have a look ah this is nice so again we’ve got the leather this is again they’re all four births so this Lounge will convert I love this leather
And look at these armrests that is nice we’ve got lovely fabric head uh sort of boards around the windows to soften it we still got curtains at the front big front Locker we’ve got a charging point there wireless charging lots of floor space Locker space these look really
Comfortable oh yeah very nice and I’ll just turn us around we’ve got the same offside kitchen we’ve got the big flap again I won’t open everything cuz it’s exactly the same we’ve got the dtic tower fridge freezer and then we go back to a transverse Island bed and again
This bed it does um it does retract this will be 6’3 long again we’ve got controls here again USBS nice overhead lockers going down the offside wall we’ve got the opening into the rear washroom back there we’ve got a mirror here and then we’ve got some wardrobe space we’ll just have a
Look in here so the aler tanks there so this is your wardrobe space there’s two of these wardrobes there’s a shelving unit as well right let’s close that oh and there’s television points as well look another wardrobe let’s have a look in the this rear washroom this is again
Very nice really good size shower cubicle um and I do like these splashbacks these are working very well nice big mirror again and lots of room around that sink there’s some storage the fford toilet lovely right and then a quick look back down okay yeah I’m I’m impressed um yeah a
Massive Improvement if I’m honest let’s carry on so where should we go next we’ve now got four twin axles to do I think I’ll start let’s take us over there so let’s start with the 850 so Swift Elegance Grand 850 pricewise now this is going up to just under
47,000 this is the twin axle for birth and this is just under 8 m long weightwise now this can be taken up to 2,250 kilos wow you’re going to get a massive massive payload I tell you what seriously if your toea can take it then
I would be inclined to up play to get that extra payload but let’s have a look so 8T wide again now because the caravan’s longer we’ve got a nice big L-shaped Lounge again this beautiful leather effect can see that excuse me we’ve got wireless charger somewhere for the television there that’s where that
Television’s going to go little bit of storage massive amount of floor space that kitchen again on the offside with the microwave the extractor and then we’ve got an even bigger Tower fridge freezer we can see a little bit of storage there’s somewhere there for glasses and bottles or
Something like a little storage cupboard and then we’ve got the massive dtic Tower fridge freezer I think this one is 100 about 177 l so absolutely huge and show you in there so yeah brilliant and then we come through this door and the 850 layout we’ve got the center washroom now I like
This as you know if you’ve seen some my other stuff I like that you’ve got got a door here and an entrance two ways into the bedroom loads of floor space let’s have a look shower that’s not bad and they S one of these little pods I do
Quite like the little pods we’ve then got a part of the uh heated Tower oil part of the ouer system then we’ve got a little cupboard and then we’ve got a good size mirror and there is an extractor fan just up there in the the roof then we’ve got the sink again
Little bit of storage fford um fford L and then a big island bed on the back wall and again we’ve got all these little switches down there USBS plug sockets lights these wardrobes and overhead lockers somewhere here for the television wow nice right let’s power on
So that’s the other layout now I say that’s twin axle that’s 8 the 850 um let’s now head into the 835 so this one again 8T wide twin axle four birth Elegance Grand 835 and this one just under £47,000 can see the decals I say I’m not going to go around
All the various service points um they’re pretty much the same we need to be looking at layouts and understanding them oh sorry there’s just someone in that one so we’ll come back to that one let’s carry on we’ll do the 845 let’s head over here and get that done I’ll
Come back to that there’s just someone in it with the be the trade event so we’ll come back let’s do this one then right 845 here we go so this one again just under 47,000 um 8T wide 8 m and this one again you can take this up to
2,250 kilos if you want and this one so this are so this is demonstrated with fabric as opposed to leather I think I prefer the leather if I’m honest but we can see the fabric seats we’ve got that big front chest can have a look there at
The fabrics and we’ll turn around and we’ve got the same kitchen we’ve got um the same little sort of um cabinet there that big Dometic Tower fridge freezer but on this one we’ve got a transverse Island bed again 6′ three long we’ve got some storage got some USBS and then we’ve got
A rear washroom so here’s our washroom at the back we’ve got these good size wardrobes again I like these and then we’ve got somewhere for our television and let’s have a look at the rear washroom FF for toilet towel rail the cupboards for storage there’s um extractor in here good size mirror and
The sink I like the space I’ve said this I know I’ve said it I’m repeating myself I like the space that’s really important when you actually come to use these things and then a good size shower cubicle with that nice finish again and then we can just look back down the
Elegance we can see the big bed that nice opening there that’s a good size uh open plan layout um and instead of L-shaped Lounge this one has got the sofas and you can see under there as well there’s some USBS just under there if you can see those right
So that was another one of the uh 8T uh twin axle layouts um so we’ve done 845 we’ve got 860 to do and then I think I’ll go back to um the one that we have to bail out of so let’s do 860 so 860 again we’re on
The twin axle uh we’re pretty much the same you can take this one up to 2250 on weight this though is 51,000 this one so the 860 this is obviously got plenty of spec on it we’re going to see an L-shaped Lounge on this one let’s get inside and have a look in
We go so we have got the leather L-shaped rat Lounge I think this could be my favorite Lounge on these models somewhere for the television which we’ve got there let’s have a look beautiful look at that oh yeah I’m quite taken with it um got the kitchen on the offs
Side the bigger 177 L dtic Tower there this one’s got a center washroom as we can see we’ve got a good size shower cubicle little bit of intrusion from the wheel Arch just at the bottom but good size shower cubicle and then we go through with a
Privacy door here into the bedroom where we’ve got a rear Island bed again 6′ 3 long this feels a little bit darker back here for some reason um whether it’s cuz the blinds are closed I don’t know but it feels a little bit more closed in um
We’ve got the plug socket down there we’ve got a mirror here all the little sockets again which I do like to see so loads of little sockets wardrobes the TV point I’ll just bring us around to look in the washroom cuz that’s here on the offs side
Washroom uh we’ve got the fford toilet again and we’ve got the um the mirror and what have you and we’ll look back down into the L-shaped Lounge with leather right so that let me just dive out of that one that was 850 I think yeah sorry 860 so that was 860 right
Last but not least let’s see if we can dive back in the one there somebody was it was um hold on let me work out which one we missed I think it was the it could have been that one there I think let’s go have a look yeah the 835
That was the one let’s dive back in here um because we didn’t get to have a look at that layout so let’s go in right so on this we have got we’ve got the leather we’ve got the sofas again in the um two seater style I’ll come around we’ve got the
Kitchen again on the offside the big dtic tower fridge freezer we’ve got a door here separating the washroom and the bedroom area oh this is a bit different so as we go into this one we’ve got the washroom here on the left you can see the a good sink with loads
Of space there fford l a good size mirror I’ll just step in and then a shower here on the near side little pod and then there’s a cupboard here a little storage cupboard here that’s a good size wardrobe so that’s nice I think the Alder tank’s in
There as well and then we’ve got another door into the rear bedroom so if we just open this oh this is different so we come in and we’ve got a transverse Island bed that’s there on the offside wall we’ve got lots of little sockets there cupboard space the 6’3 long
Retractable bed two further wardrobes so we’ve got a little bit of wardrobe space here wardrobe space there and then a television point with speakers above so again you could put a huge telly could mount a huge Telly on there and then we’ll just look back through so we we
Come through this washroom area um we come through into this Lounge area and then we venture out interesting do you know what I think I really like how that bedroom and washroom works but I just want that L-shaped Lounge in here and I don’t think i’ don’t think I’ve seen a
Layout like that so yeah L-shaped lounge and uh and that layout at the back I think that’ll do me right let’s venture out so that was the 635 um which is again just under um 47,000 so there you go that is a brief look at the Swift Elegance Grand 8T wide six
Layouts um two single axle four twin axle they can have a massive payload if you want on those beautifully specked I do like that l-shape Lounge I was pretty impressed with those definite contenders for top end luxury vans so there we go thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one

Re the water inlets … the top one is for filling the onboard tank … the bottom one for drawing the water direct from the aquaroll. The switch by the bed is likely to operate the powered heki over the bed.
Lovely vans..nice specification. I wonder if Swift will ever bring back the Sterling range..🤔
Great reviews 🙂
Not a bad finish on these, no real wow factor but the L shaped leather lounge is nice! Thanks for the review 👍
Thanks for the review 👍
Hi Karina ,
I have been up in Scotland last week staying at Dumfries House. On the way up from Newcastle upon Tyne where I live , I found that i was recognising caravans more closely than I ever did , and thats thanks to you and your Vlog.
Great review. I pick up our brand new 850 Elegance on Friday. Don’t think I’ll be using the A/C for a while though
Absolutely love your presentation along with promoting swift and other manufactures. I've got to say you also need to include the MAJOR defects they hide from purchaser's and I mean major problems they hide, regards a very disappointed purchaser, of a well known manufacturer!
Yes we did have a look at this model at the NEC, very expensive van as well as E&P levelling system being an optional extra. Keep up the reviews Karina.
Always love your reviews Karina – we’ve had a conqueror 645 for 5 years and love it – an Elegance 835 is the natural successor (or perhaps the challenger) but the prices for a cash buyer are very high! Might wait a year or two 😃
Great reviews and gorgeous caravans. Love the L shaped lounge. We've just upgraded our old Lunar for a five year old Swift and absolutely love it.
Just wonder if it's about time manufacturers ditched curtains in caravans. They are mould traps and who uses them anyway. The padded panels soften the windows and can easily be removed for winter storage.
Ridiculous prices!!!
What size TVs fit in the elegance grande 850 please?
I allways watch your reviews as your knowledge on Caravans is such a high leave.
Unfortunately, this time with the Swift Elegance
you was a little bit confused on what everything did in the caravan and how it worked and what it was for.
Not your best reviews maybe should’ve done a wee bit of homework first. Sorry for this bad, you can do a lot better
Very poor that they haven’t provided a separate storage cupboard below in the bedroom that doesn’t go all the way through to the storage area for the side locker doors! £50k van and they missed simple things like this….. Swift who on this planet designed internal cupboards like this 🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️
Did you notice the omnivent and midi heki in the bathrooms
If they could find a way to get the tv to raise and lower when not used down into the cabinet below , that would be ideal. Then that window on the left side could be used to let in light or look out when not watching tv
Over priced and no where to sit at the front unless you sit up straight….the first caravan poor layout
I get the weight limitations . But I say most people who buy a top spec 8m twin axle have a substantial tow vehicle. So why no slide outs ? That East/West island rear bedroom would be so much better with a bedroom slide out. Look at the Ineos .. why dont more companies do it ?
