What's the difference between the Sprite, Compact, Grande & Exclusive?

The multi award-winning Swift Sprite range is the UK’s best-selling touring caravan, and with 24 models across four ranges, there is a huge choice.

All Sprite models enjoy a highly desirable level of standard equipment within a competitive price bracket, making it the perfect choice for those new to caravanning or seasoned enthusiasts looking to upgrade.

But what are the key differences between the Sprite Compact, Sprite, Sprite Grande and Sprite Exclusive? To get started, let’s take a glance at each range:

Swift Sprite Compact

Proving that the best things come in small packages, the award-winning Sprite Compact has a slender width of 2.03 metres. Yet, it still radiates a light and airy interior thanks to the three front opening windows, newly refreshed lighter woodgrain, and an enhanced soft furnishing scheme.

With an MTPLM of just 1094kg on a single axle, this two-berth model is competitively priced from £21,895, ideal for those new to touring or seeking a lighter vehicle.

The highlights of the Compact include a fully equipped kitchen, LED lighting, Truma heating, and a washroom with shower and electric flush toilet. It comes with brand-new striking exterior graphics, larger alloy wheels and the Aquaclean Oceania soft furnishing scheme for the 2025 season.

Swift Sprite

With a continued focus on value for money and an array of layouts, the award-winning Sprite has something to offer every type of family. As always, Sprite is packed full with all the essentials to maintain its perennial popularity, and with an exceptional specification as standard.

The range has seven models (Alpine 2, Alpine 4, Major 4 SB, Major 4 EB, Major 6 TD, Quattro MB & Quattro FB), five with single axles and two twin axles. They range from 2 to 6 berths, with an MTPLM of up to 1630kg and a competitive price bracket of £23,545 to £28,495.

The highlights of this range include a fully equipped kitchen, panoramic sunroof, control panel, Truma heating, washroom with shower and electric flush toilet, luxury mattress on fixed double beds, and plentiful storage space.

With a major refresh in design for the 2025 season, Sprite has levelled up its offering with an exceptional standard of specification including striking exterior graphics, larger 15” Edge alloy wheels, Aquaclean Oceania soft furnishing scheme, a new full-height fridge, new electric hot plate, and a boutique style washroom.

Swift Sprite Grande

The Sprite Grande enjoys all the features of Sprite, but with even more room to relax and unwind. The extra space in the 8ft-wide range allows for a wider opening central window and front chest, an airy dining area and larger sleeping spaces.

The range has four models to choose from (Major 4 SB, Quattro EB, Quattro FB & Quattro DB), one single axle and three with a twin axle. They range from 4 to 6 berths, with an MTPLM of up to 1710kg and a competitive price bracket of £28,395 to £31,595.

Swift Sprite Exclusive

The Sprite Exclusive is brand-new for the 2025 season and builds on the legacy of the Sprite range (Sprite Compact, Sprite & Sprite Grande), featuring upgraded amenities designed to delight. The range is only available from selected dealerships.

This range has 12 models to choose from including the Compact and 8 –ft wide models (Compact Exclusive, Alpine 2 Exclusive, Alpine 4 Exclusive, Major 4 SB Exclusive, Major 4 EB Exclusive, Major 6 TD Exclusive, Quattro MB Exclusive & Quattro FB Exclusive, Major 4 SB Grande Exclusive, Quattro EB Grande Exclusive, Quattro FB Grande Exclusive & Quattro DB Grande Exclusive). Seven of these models have single axles and five have twin axles. They range from 2 to 6 berths, with an MTPLM of up to 1800kg and within a competitive price bracket of £23,745 to £33,445.

The sophisticated Aquaclean Mykonos soft furnishing scheme elevates the interior while atmospheric lighting in the lounge and kitchen, the roof mounted 120W solar panel and wireless charging pad indicate the higher level of specification.

How different is the Sprite Exclusive Compact to the Sprite Exclusives

Both the Compact and Sprite ranges offer the same great specification features such as an equipped kitchen^, Truma heating, and a fully fitted washroom and toilet.

The 2-berth Compact has a length of just 5.37m and a width of 2.03m. Weighing in at a very light 980kg (MIRO) or 1109kg (MTPLM) it’s ideal for couples that are new to touring or seeking a lighter vehicle.

The Sprite range has a layout for every type of family, it comes larger and heavier than the Compact, and can sleep up to 6 people. This range does come with some additional highlights such as the panoramic sunroof, tall fridge freezer, luxury Duvalay mattress on fixed double bed and a larger front double bed.

^Sprite Compact is fitted with an undercounter Dometic fridge. All Sprites are fitted with the new Thetford tall fridge.

Let’s compare the Sprite Exclusive to the Sprite Grande Grande

Both ranges offer the same high-specification features, but the Grande comes with a large mid-dinette with wrap-around seating (except Major 4 SB & Quattro EB), and an extra wide front chest featuring a soft close drawer with concealed drawer inside and slide-out extending top.

Both ranges are of a similar length, with each range topping at 7.98m, but the Grande has a width of 2.48m (8ft) which brings extra valuable space. This includes a spacious front lounge with an extra seven inches between seats, and a larger 225cm (7’11”) front double bed.

The Sprite Exclusive sleeps 2-6 people and starts at £23,545 whereas the Sprite Grande Exclusive sleeps 4-6 people and starts at £28,395.

The extra space in the Grande brings a slightly higher price bracket and the choice between the two ranges really does come down to personal preference and requirements.

So what does the Exclusive range offer?

The Sprite Exclusive Compact, Sprite Exclusive and Sprite Grande Exclusive are enhanced versions of the Sprite Compact, Sprite and Sprite Grande.

Inside, the sophisticated Mykonos fabric scheme features champagne and deep blue hues across cushions and wall pads which elevate the interior, while outside, the striking grey exterior, half diamond-cut alloy wheels, and practical additions like a 120W solar panel make the Sprite Exclusive truly stand out.
