A flagship 6-berth motorhome with a spacious rear lounge.
The Swift Kon-Tiki 649 is a high-specification 6-berth motorhome built on a heavy-duty chassis with a 4000kg MTPLM. It is defined by its versatile layout featuring a large rear U-shaped lounge, an overcab bed, and a convertible dinette. Measuring 7.9m in length, it offers a significant 600kg payload, making it suitable for large families or groups requiring a high-capacity vehicle for long-distance touring.
- Large rear U-shaped lounge for socialising and dining.
- Overcab bed providing a permanent sleeping area without sacrificing floor space.
- Dinette conversion to accommodate up to 6 berths.
- Kitchen equipped with an oven, grill, and large refrigerator.
- Substantial 600kg payload for extended touring equipment.
Worth knowing: The 4000kg MTPLM requires a Category C1 driving licence. External dimensions of 7.9m length and 3.1m height require careful route planning. Washroom configurations, including separate shower facilities, vary by specific model year.
Buying a Swift Kon-Tiki 649
Who it suits
- • Large families needing up to 6 berths and a dedicated overcab sleeping area.
- • Tourers who prioritise a large rear lounge for entertaining.
- • Owners with a Category C1 licence who require a high 600kg payload.
Reasons to consider it
- • It provides one of the most spacious interior layouts in the Swift range.
- • The 4000kg MTPLM allows for a generous 600kg payload for heavy gear.
- • High-quality interior finishes and a well-equipped kitchen for long-term living.
What to check
- • Verify the specific washroom layout as some versions feature integrated or separate showers.
- • Check the condition of the exterior lockers and storage seals.
- • Confirm the service history of the heavy-duty chassis.
- • Ensure the overcab bed mechanism and ladder are in good working order.
Worth knowing: The 3.1m height may restrict access to certain car parks and requires awareness of low bridges. Fuel consumption is typically higher than smaller, lighter coachbuilt models.
Compare the Swift Kon Tiki 649 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Kon Tiki 649 | 6 | 4000 kg | 7.90 m | £28,000 to £65,000 |
| Bailey Autograph 79 6 | 6 | 3850 kg | 7.98 m | £45,000 to £75,000 |
| Elddis Supreme 840 | 6 | 3850 kg | 8.05 m | £52,000 to £84,000 |
The Swift Kon-Tiki 649 sits at the upper end of the 6-berth market, offering a 4000kg MTPLM that provides more payload than the Bailey Autograph 79 6 or Elddis Supreme 840. While its 7.9m length is comparable to these alternatives, its 3.1m height and overcab design offer a different spatial experience compared to the lower-profile Bailey models. Choosing between them often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Kon-Tiki's rear lounge layout over the different weight and length configurations found in the Elddis or Bailey ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 600kg payload by distributing heavy items low down in the exterior lockers.
- Regularly inspect the seals on the large overcab window and rooflights.
- Use a motorhome-specific sat-nav to account for the 3.1m height and 2.35m width.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the 7.9m length when manoeuvring in tight campsites or narrow lanes.
- • Exceeding the 4000kg limit without accounting for the weight of full water tanks and passengers.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the vehicle plate before loading to maximum capacity.
Alternatives to the Swift Kon Tiki 649
The Autograph 79 6 offers a similar 6-berth capacity and length but with a lower MTPLM of 3850kg, which may suit different licence requirements.
Elddis Supreme 840The Elddis Supreme 840 provides an alternative 6-berth layout at a slightly longer 8.05m length for those seeking maximum interior volume.
Bailey ApproachFor buyers restricted by a 3500kg weight limit, the Bailey Approach offers 6 berths in a lighter, more compact 7.45m frame.
