| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Kon-Tiki 874 180BHP Auto | 6 | 5000 kg | 8.22 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |

The Swift Kon-Tiki 874 180BHP Auto sits at the top of the Swift range, offering a 5,000kg MTPLM that matches the Auto-Trail Comanche HB and other Kon-Tiki variants like the 894. While it shares the 8.22m length of the 774 Grand Prix, it provides a more powerful 180BHP engine compared to the 160BHP found in that model. It offers a significant payload advantage over lighter 4,000kg models like the Kon-Tiki 649, though it requires a C1 licence which those lighter models may not. The choice between these models typically rests on the specific balance of engine output, body length, and the required number of berths.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 950kg payload to carry heavy equipment without exceeding the 5,000kg MTPLM.
- Monitor the Alde heating system fluid levels to maintain consistent winter performance.
- Make use of the twin leisure batteries and solar panel to maintain charge during off-grid stays.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.22m tag-axle vehicle.
- Neglecting to use the rear-view camera and sensory aids in tight spaces.
Worth knowing: Always confirm your driving licence entitlements before operating a 5,000kg vehicle.
