The Swift Voyager 505 sits in a competitive price bracket between 68000 and 76000, offering a specific five-berth layout on a 7.07m chassis. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM and Ford base vehicle with other Voyager models, its over-cab bed configuration distinguishes it from low-profile alternatives. Buyers must weigh the benefit of the additional sleeping space against the increased vehicle height of 2.98m and the 463kg payload limit.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
