Vehicle model
SWM Gamme SWM - électrique/hybride
SWM's electrified range developed from the early 2020s, as part of the brand's shift toward new-energy vehicles. The flagship model is the G03F EDi (also associated with the Tiger EDi, exported under names such as the XL30 EV), a seven-seat extended-range SUV. The powertrain was developed with Findreams, a subsidiary of BYD. The target buyer is one seeking affordable electrification without giving up long-distance range, thanks to the EREV architecture. For tires and wheels, these electrified SUVs use dimensions comparable to their internal-combustion equivalents (typical 17- to 18-inch wheels), with attention paid to the added weight of the batteries. In Quebec, certified winter tires would be essential. The brand is not distributed or homologated in North America.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Extended-range (EREV) architecture: a 1.5 L gasoline engine serving as a generator, an LFP battery (electric range of about 50 km) and a traction electric motor of about 105 kW, for a combined range exceeding 1,000 km. Powertrain co-developed with Findreams (BYD).
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme la majorité des VUS familiaux modernes, les modèles SWM utilisent généralement des roues de 16 à 18 pouces, avec des pneus de profil moyen adaptés aux multisegments. Les dimensions exactes ne sont pas confirmées pour le marché nord-américain puisque la marque n'y est pas distribuée. À titre indicatif, des VUS de gabarit comparable roulent souvent sur des montes de type 215/60R17 à 235/55R18 et un entraxe à cinq trous fréquent (souvent 5x114,3). Au Québec, peu importe le véhicule, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés pour la traction sur neige et glace.
