Introducing the all-new Swift Merlin to the 2027 campervan line-up
Published:
Swift welcomes the all-new Merlin to its campervan range - a stylish, versatile campervan designed to cater for every journey.
Brand new for the 2027 season, the Merlin brings together the practicality of a Fiat Ducato panel van with the comfort, flexibility and thoughtful specification expected from a Swift campervan.
As an entry-level campervan, Merlin has been designed with a wide range of adventures in mind - with nine layouts available across 2 and 4 berth configurations, there’s a Merlin to suit different ways of travelling and enjoying the great outdoors.
Designed around the way you travel
The Merlin range offers a diverse choice of sleeping arrangements, giving customers the flexibility to prioritise the features that matter most to them.
For those looking for generous storage, selected layouts feature high-level beds positioned above substantial rear garage areas, providing valuable space for outdoor equipment and holiday essentials. Other layouts offer flexible lounge arrangements, including rear parallel seating and wrap-around lounge configurations.
Four layouts - the Merlin 212, 244, 264 and 274, also feature an elevating roof system, creating additional sleeping accommodation while adding another dimension to the living space.
With prices starting from £64,190, the range offers an accessible route into campervanning without compromising on specification. The range extends to the 4 berth Merlin 274, priced from £72,690.
Premium specification, wherever the road leads
Despite its position as the entry point to the Swift campervan range, Merlin comes equipped with an impressive level of standard specification.
The Fiat Ducato base vehicle features a 2.2-litre, 140bhp engine, while the cab includes cruise control, DAB radio with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, as well as double USB points and cup holders.

Inside, the focus is on creating a comfortable and contemporary environment. The Merlin features a stylish 'Sangallo Elm' furniture finish, stain-resistant soft furnishings and fabric wall coverings, energy-efficient LED lighting and double-glazed windows with blackout blinds and flyscreens.
For those travelling off-grid, the Merlin also introduces a 100Ah lithium leisure battery as standard. The lightweight battery provides usable power while helping to maximise payload, and is compatible with solar charging for greater independence when away from mains facilities.
Comfort for every season
Merlin has been designed to be enjoyed throughout the year, with Whale 6kW heating and an 8-litre water heating system helping to keep the interior warm and comfortable.
The washroom provides a practical space for freshening up on the move, with a shower tray, foldaway washbasin, separate shower mixer and Thetford cassette toilet with electric flush.
In the kitchen, a Dometic two-burner hob and sink, built-in microwave oven and compressor fridge provide the essentials for preparing meals wherever the day takes you. Depending on the layout, Merlin models are equipped with either a 50 or 80 litre compressor fridge.
