Introducing the all-new 2027 Swift Merlin 144 – a fresh new addition to the Swift campervan family, combining stylish design, clever use of space and the practicality you need for touring.

Finished on the long-wheelbase Fiat Ducato, the Merlin 144 offers a surprisingly spacious interior while remaining easy to drive and manoeuvre. This particular example benefits from the 140bhp automatic transmission and the highly desirable Driver’s Pack, giving it an impressive level of specification from the outset.

Whether you're heading away for a weekend, touring the UK or planning longer European adventures, the Merlin 144 is designed to make getting away simple.

Effortless Driving

At the heart of the Merlin 144 is the Fiat Ducato 2.2-litre 140bhp engine, paired here with the optional 8-speed automatic transmission.

The automatic gearbox makes everyday driving and longer journeys noticeably more relaxed, while the Merlin's compact campervan dimensions make it equally at home on country lanes, motorways and in town.

The standard cab specification includes:

• Fiat Ducato 2.2-litre 140bhp engine
• 8-speed automatic transmission
• 10" HD touchscreen display
• Digital dashboard
• Cruise control
• Automatic cab air conditioning
• DAB radio
• Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Wireless smartphone charging
• Leather steering wheel with controls
• Electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors
• Electric windows
• Electronic parking brake
• Driver and passenger airbags

Driver's Pack

This Merlin 144 has also been specified with the factory-fit Driver's Pack, adding a host of desirable upgrades:

• Expedition Grey exterior paint
• 16" black alloy wheels
• Rear reversing sensors
• Fiat satellite navigation with TomTom 3D mapping
• 110W solar panel and regulator
• Electric Thule side entrance step
• Pleated cab blinds
• Exterior sliding-door flyscreen

It's a particularly worthwhile upgrade, combining enhanced exterior styling with useful touring equipment and additional convenience.

A Clever Two-Berth Layout

The Merlin 144 has been designed around a practical two-berth layout, with a spacious rear lounge providing a comfortable place to relax during the day.

The rear parallel lounge seating creates a welcoming living space and can be converted when required, while the large side kitchen provides everything needed for preparing meals on tour.

The interior features Swift's contemporary Sangallo Elm furniture scheme, complemented by Tora Tela and Grau finishes, creating a modern and understated environment.

You'll also find:

• Rear parallel lounge
• Convertible sleeping arrangement
• Forward-facing travelling seats
• Midi-Heki rooflight
• Double-glazed windows
• Horrex pleated blackout blinds and flyscreens
• Oyster Grey interior décor panels
• Soft-close kitchen storage
• USB-C charging points
• Low-energy LED lighting
• Duvalay Duvalite Alto mattress

Fully Equipped Kitchen

The Merlin 144's kitchen is compact but extremely well thought out, providing all the essentials without compromising valuable living space.

The specification includes a Dometic two-burner stainless-steel hob and sink, both protected by glass lids, alongside a generous worktop area and clever storage.

There's also an 80-litre Dometic compressor fridge, ideal for keeping food and drinks chilled when you're away touring.

Practical Washroom

One of the Merlin 144's key advantages is that you don't have to compromise on onboard facilities.

The washroom incorporates a shower tray, foldaway washbasin and separate shower mixer, together with a Thetford cassette toilet with electric flush.

The practical tambour washroom door helps maximise the available space, while the Micro-Heki rooflight provides ventilation and natural light.

Comfortable All-Year Touring

Swift has equipped the Merlin with a Whale underfloor 6kW heating system, providing blown-air heating throughout the campervan, together with an 8-litre water heating system.

The Merlin also benefits from a new digital control system with a 4" colour touchscreen, allowing you to monitor and control the vehicle's power, battery, lighting, water and environmental settings.

For 2027, 100Ah lithium leisure battery technology is standard, offering lower weight, improved usable power and excellent compatibility with solar charging.

Designed for Touring

The Merlin 144 is built on the long-wheelbase 3.5-tonne Fiat Ducato, giving it an excellent balance between interior space and everyday usability.

The 144 also benefits from an underfloor 93-litre fresh-water tank and a 58-litre waste-water tank, making it well suited to extended touring.
