SWIFT VOYAGER 505
Practical Motorhome
|December 2025
Swift's cleverly refreshed 2026 Voyager 505 may be compact, but it's spacious and stylish inside, says Nigel Hutson
-
In 2025, Swift added the 6.19m-long 505 to its Ford Transit-based Voyager range. For 2026, changes have been minimal, with new graphics externally and largely cosmetic changes inside, although the new Truma Combi Neo boiler has been added as standard.
On first appearance, the 505 does look striking, with new grey graphics complementing the cab colour, alloy wheels and flush-fitting tinted windows. Internally, Swift is using contemporary soft furnishings.
The Ford Transit cab comes as standard with the Euro 6 130bhp, 2.0-litre TDCi engine, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. An option is the 165bhp version of the 2.0-litre engine with eight-speed auto transmission, which adds 30kg to the MIRO. The MTPLM is 3500kg which means that the 505 can be driven on a Cat B driving licence and has a user payload of 663kg (633kg with the automatic gearbox).
The 505 only has the two cab seats belted, and there is no option for additional travel seats.
External equipment on the Voyager includes an external BBQ and cold shower points, a 120W solar panel and bike-rack fixing rails.
