2022 Swift Challenger X Range

The 2022 Swift Challenger X range was completely restyled last season, the ever-popular Challenger range is expanded for 2022 with a new X860 layout, including an L-shaped lounge, rear island bed, and mid-washroom. The range now boasts even more standard specifications such as a 100W solar panel and LED spotlights with USB sockets, plus a simplified control system and dedicated radio.

With a stylish, welcoming interior that’s ideal for families, Challenger X models the modern ‘Coyote’ soft furnishings scheme, whose warm, natural tones complements the ‘Aralie Sen’ woodgrain and locker doors. High-performing Alde radiator central heating and water heating is also fitted as standard.

The extra space allows for a wider opening central window and front chest, plus larger bed make-up in the front lounge, making it more relaxing than ever to be out on the open road. And thanks to low-energy LED lighting throughout and a well-equipped kitchen and washroom, this tourer is destined to extend the popularity of Challenger.

As with all Swift tourer ranges, Challenger X is built on Swift’s pioneering SMART construction platform with a timberless bodyshell and durable GRP outer skin, delivering outstanding build quality and a 10-year bodyshell warranty.

There are two single axle and two twin axle Challenger X models available this season including the popular X850 with L-shaped front lounge. All models sleep four and come with a fixed double bed that includes a Duvalay Duvalite Gravity Luxe mattress for a relaxing sleep.
