New Swift Bolero Low Profile is the shape of things to come

08/09/2006

Swift extend their coverage of the motorhome market with the launch of a new luxury four model range of Bolero low profile models.

The groundbreaking exterior styling combines perfectly with the stunning new Fiat X2/50 Ducato cab to create the shape of things to come in low profile motorhomes.

The sleek streamline exterior makes the most of the special new Fiat low-line chassis, which has also allowed Swift to create more low level storage.

Performance of the new range is class leading thanks to the powerful new 130 Multi-Jet diesel engine linked to a six speed gearbox which meets the latest Euro 4 emission standards.

The new Fiat cab gives a more car like driving position and offers reduced noise levels, greater comfort and lots of little extra car style touches like a cooler unit for a 1.5 litre water bottle built into the passenger side of the dash, chilled by the optional cab air conditioning.

Swift decided to work exclusively with Fiat on the development of the Bolero and early access to the styling plans for the X2/50 have helped stylists from both companies to re-define “state of the art” motorhome design.

Outside, the exterior gets the luxury treatment with full GRP roof and rear panel, tinted sunroof over the cab, integrated roof bars, doors with remote central locking and a recess for the optional pull out awning.

Inside the star treatment continues with upholstered swivel seats in the cab to create an open plan lounge area, en-route heating providing blown air to the living area while the vehicle is moving, cab window blinds and a high standard of appointment throughout.

All four layouts following top-performing UK style 2 berth layouts, which offer the ideal choice for fast, luxurious touring. Although the standard specification is class leading, further luxury touches are available come in the optional Vogue Pack.
