Introducing the 8 foot wide Swift Challenger X range, bringing you pure enjoyment and lots of living space - The 865 hosts fixed single beds, a rear washroom and a modern front lounge.

Championing more ample living to help you enjoy your leisure lifestyle to the fullest, the new Challenger X offers increased interior space alongside classic styling and an excellent level of equipment as standard for outstanding value.

With a stylish, welcoming interior that's ideal for families, Challenger X models the modern 'Glacier' soft furnishings scheme, whose warm, natural tones and purple hues complement the 'Aralie Sen' woodgrain and gloss high-level lockers, introduced last season to great acclaim. High-performing Alde radiator central heating and water heating is now 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's also Swift Command, allowing you to monitor and control many onboard systems via a 7-inch touchscreen panel and smartphone app, with the option to subscribe to a pre-installed Thatcham Category S7 approved pro-active tracker** for added protection.

There are two single axle and two twin axle Challenger X models available this season, including the new 850 layout comprising L-shaped front lounge, mid kitchen and transverse washroom plus rear island bed, ensuring an option to suit most needs.

All models come as standard with the 'Lux' pack option which adds a stylish illuminated kitchen splashback, external BBQ point, external 230V socket, external service door and key fob operated alarm system, which creates an overall package that's hard to beat.
