SWIFT SIGNALLED a move away from allowing individual dealers to have their own dealer special ranges last season, with the launch of the Challenger Exclusive, sold only through select dealerships.

Now it continues that trend, with the new Sprite Exclusives. This has also given it the opportunity to expand its twin-axle Quattro range with a new model, which features an L-shaped front lounge, a side dinette and an intriguing rear bedroom beyond the transverse washroom.

Pitch and set-up

The new Sprite looks the part, with alloys, strong branding and the signature charcoal panel extending over the gas bottle locker. Locker doors at the front nearside and rear offside give access to interior storage space.

Lounge

The 'L' shape of the front lounge has given Swift's designers the opportunity to install a large, square window on the offside. You could easily while away a good hour or two admiring the view from here.

Although only the front three windows have curtains, all windows have cassette blinds and flyscreens, and cloth panels on the side windows make them feel bigger.

This caravan is a six-berth, but we reckon that six people sitting around this lounge could be a bit of a squeeze, especially as one would probably have to sit on the small banquette under the square window, which might not be comfortable for long.
