|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Riva Gold | 4 | 1450 kg | 6.50 m | £17,000 to £32,000 |

The Elddis Riva Gold occupies a mid-weight position at 1450kg, sitting between lighter alternatives like the Xplore Xc Lite and larger models such as the Swift Challenger 560. While it offers a premium specification package and a 250kg payload, buyers must weigh the higher price point against standard Elddis models.
