About the Swift Escape 685
The Swift Escape 685 is a masterclass in versatile motorhome design, specifically engineered to cater to the evolving needs of UK families and touring couples. Built upon the legendary Fiat Ducato chassis, this model offers a confident driving experience that makes navigating coastal roads or motorway stretches equally effortless. The 685 is renowned for its 'low-profile' aesthetic while surprisingly offering a cavernous interior, courtesy of its clever floor plan that provides distinct zones for relaxing, dining, and sleeping without feeling cramped.
Inside, the standout feature is the rear U-shaped lounge, which serves as a panoramic social hub during the day and a vast sleeping area by night. This is perfectly complemented by a front dinette and an innovative drop-down bed system, allowing the motorhome to accommodate up to six people comfortably. With Swift’s SMART construction providing a strong, moisture-resistant bodyshell and the Truma Combi heating system keeping the cabin warm, this is a true four-season vehicle built for lasting memories.

A versatile low-profile motorhome for families and couples.
The Swift Escape 685 is a low-profile motorhome measuring 6.92m in length, designed to accommodate between 4 and 6 berths. It features a flexible layout including a rear U-shaped lounge and a front dinette with a drop-down bed. With an MTPLM of 3500kg and a payload of 535kg, it balances family-sized capacity with standard driving licence compatibility.
- Rear U-shaped lounge and front dinette with drop-down bed.
- Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with Swift SMART construction.
- MTPLM of 3500kg allows for standard UK driving licences.
- Truma Combi 4 heating and Duvalay Duvalite Apollo Luxe mattresses.
Worth knowing: Payload is 535kg, which may be restricted when travelling with six occupants. External locker storage is limited compared to models with dedicated garages. Interior space can feel constrained when used at the maximum 6-berth capacity.
Buying a Swift Escape 685
Who it suits
- • Families requiring up to 6 berths within a sub-7m vehicle length.
- • Couples who prefer a large rear lounge for socialising and daytime relaxing.
- • Drivers restricted to a 3500kg MTPLM licence limit.
Reasons to consider it
- • The U-shaped rear lounge provides a panoramic social hub.
- • Swift SMART construction offers a moisture-resistant bodyshell.
- • Strong resale value supported by the popularity of the Escape range.
What to check
- • Inspect the GRP timber-less body frame for any signs of impact.
- • Test the Swift Command system for remote connectivity and function.
- • Ensure the Thermostatic oven and 3-burner hob are fully operational.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine output as the 2.3L Multijet varies by year. Check the operation of the drop-down bed mechanism during viewing. Verify the exact payload remaining if optional extras have been fitted.
Compare the Swift Escape 685 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Escape 685 | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.92 m | £42,000 to £72,000 |
| Swift Voyager | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.90 m | £45,000 to £90,000 |
| Swift Escape 674 | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £45,000 to £82,000 |
The Swift Escape 685 occupies a specific niche, offering 6 berths within a 6.92m length, whereas alternatives like the Swift Edge or Escape 674 require more road space at over 7.3m. While the Adria Matrix and Hymer T-Class offer similar 3500kg MTPLM ratings, the Escape 685 distinguishes itself with the specific rear U-lounge and front drop-down bed configuration. Choosing between them involves balancing the 535kg payload of the 685 against the different lengths and price points of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the Truma Combi 4 dual-fuel system to maintain four-season utility.
- Regularly inspect the GRP seals as part of the SMART construction maintenance.
- Use the 6.92m length to access sites that may restrict vehicles over 7m.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the rear lounge area beyond the 535kg payload limit.
- • Neglecting to update the Swift Command software for remote features.
Worth knowing: The 2.31m width requires careful navigation in narrow lanes. Payload must be monitored closely when all 6 berths are utilised.
Alternatives to the Swift Escape 685
The Voyager offers a similar 6-berth capacity and 3500kg MTPLM but with a slightly shorter 6.9m length.
Swift Escape 674For buyers requiring more interior space, the Escape 674 provides a 6-berth layout on a longer 7.41m chassis.
