The new twin-axle Sprite Quattro has come top in a three van test carried out by Which Caravan, which called it “the best family layout ever”.

Scoring 85 out of 100 compared to the Adria’s 81 and the Elddis’ 76 points, the Quattro, which has an end washroom and front parallel seating, was praised for its price, weight and all-round ability.

“Asking £11,995 for the new 2007 Sprite twin-axle with this fabulous layout (whatever the kit level) is an absolute steal,” said the report.

“Praised before as ‘possessing massive open interior space’, Swift has improved the Sprite further still. The interior is now even more open….,” it continues.

The Quattro also scored highly for its spacious eye-level lockers and its washroom. which is described as “a brilliant full-on washroom for six”.

“We’ve always been impressed that the Quattro sleeps six comfortable and still has a generous washroom,” the report said. “Front settees morph into the double while the central dinette builds into the first of two bunks.

“Opposite is the second set of bunks, with the top fixed and the bottom, unless carrying bikes, also fixed. All are best for kids, except the lower two which, without the sideboards, allow for larger teenager or small adults to make use of them.”

It concludes: “….the twin-axle Sprite is only a fiver more than the single-axle Elddis, and as good as the Elddis is, it can’t compete with the Sprite as a six-berth.”
