While other brands chose to be cautious in bringing out new models for the 2023 season, Swift has been ambitious, launching three ranges. Voyager, with its new base vehicle, grabbed a great deal of attention, but there’s much interest in the Carrera van conversions, too.
On the outside, the new two-berth 122 certainly looks like a punchy little number, decked out in Lanzarote Grey, with black cab trims and 16-inch alloy wheels. Other exterior features include a gas barbecue point, and for al fresco dining, a tabletop that clips into the outer edge of the kitchen peninsula.
The cab itself is standard Ducato, with drinks holders in the middle, although very tall people might find legroom a little limited in the driving position. Both seats swivel around very easily, however, and although there is a step down from the cab, the rest of the floor is flat.
Swift doesn’t provide an additional small table up front, but you could use the kitchen extension to rest a drink and a snack on if the two of you want to admire the view through the sliding door. Instead of opening the extension with a hinge, you pull it out from its dedicated slot, then slide it back in.
