|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Charisma | 6 | 1495 kg | 7.32 m | £5,500 to £14,500 |
| Swift Fairway | 6 | 1550 kg | 7.32 m | £9,500 to £28,500 |
| Bailey Olympus | 6 | 1450 kg | 7.25 m | £8,500 to £16,500 |
The Swift Charisma occupies a central position in the used market, competing closely with the Bailey Olympus and Lunar Quasar. While the Charisma is often heavier than its Lunar counterparts, it offers a robust build with aluminium sidewalls. Compared to the Bailey Olympus, the Charisma provides a different aesthetic with its light wood finishes and Belgian fabrics. The choice between these models often rests on the specific layout preference, such as the Charisma's rear washroom or fixed bunk configurations, and the towing capacity of the owner's vehicle.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Swift Charisma owners
- Utilise the 2.29m width when planning storage to maintain a clear central gangway.
- If the vehicle is 7.32m in length, ensure your storage pitch or driveway can accommodate the full external dimensions.
- Regularly service the Thetford C250 swivel toilet to maintain the electric flush functionality.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Assuming all models have the same heating system; always check if the specific unit has the dual fuel gas and 230V mains water heater.
- • Overlooking the directional nature of the Status 530 antenna, which requires tuning at every new site.
Worth knowing: Payloads can be as high as 213kg, but this must be balanced against the 1495kg MTPLM to ensure car-to-caravan weight ratios remain safe.

The Fairway is a dealer-special version of the Charisma, often offering higher specifications and a higher MTPLM of 1550kg.
