| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift 495 | 4 | 1450 kg | 7.25 m | £14,500 to £29,500 |
| Swift Challenger 560 | 4 | 1480 kg | 7.30 m | £16,000 to £34,000 |
| Bailey Unicorn Valencia | 4 | 1498 kg | 7.37 m | £18,000 to £34,000 |
The Swift 495 sits in a competitive 4-berth segment, offering a 7.25m length that is slightly more compact than the 7.37m Bailey Unicorn Valencia or the 7.34m Unicorn Deluxe Vigo. While its 1450kg MTPLM is lighter than the 1500kg found in several Bailey alternatives, it maintains a similar 4-berth capacity. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for Swift's SMART construction and Command technology versus the slightly larger dimensions and higher weight limits of the Unicorn range.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
