Sprite 2026 – lower prices and new designs
The Sprite range, a go-to for budget-conscious buyers, has been re-engineered with value at the forefront.
- Lower entry costs – achieved by simplifying equipment: carpets, radio and microwaves are now optional extras
- Weight reductions – the Alpine 4’s MTPLM drops from 1,320kg (2025) to 1,247kg (2026), making it more accessible to a wider range of towcars
- Spec improvements – all models now come with sprung seating, Dometic ceramic toilets and USB-C charging
New layout for 2026:
- The Alpine 4 DB introduces a fresh four-berth family design with a rear corner dinette converting to a bunk set-up, the first of its kind in a Sprite.
The 2026 Sprite line-up now includes:
- Alpine 4
- Alpine 4 DB (new)
- Major 4 EB
- Major 4 SB
Basecamp
The popular Basecamp 2 continues as Swift’s compact, sporty tourer with space to carry bikes inside.
The larger Basecamp 3 and 4 are dropped for 2026, keeping the range simple and focused.
Challenger 2026 – a UK first with Truma CombiNeo
The Challenger series sees one of the biggest innovations for 2026: Swift becomes the first UK caravan manufacturer to install Truma’s CombiNeo heating system.
- Hot water in just eight minutes
- No waiting between showers – making it ideal for families
- Works on gas, electric, or both combined for up to 7kW output
Other updates include sprung seat bases, blackout blinds and clever phone storage with twin USB ports by double beds.
Line-up highlights:
- Standard width (2.25m): 390, 480, 500, 560, 580, 590
- Challenger Grande (2.46m): 580, 630 (new ex-Quattro MB), 640, 650

Elegance Grande
At the top of the tree, the Elegance Grande line continues with four twin-axle, eight-foot-wide layouts.
