Vehicle model
SWM Gamme SWM - utilitaires ou VUS
The core of the SWM range consists of family SUVs and crossovers, the segment on which the brand built its 2016 comeback. The first product, the X7, is a mid-size seven-seat SUV, followed by other models such as the G01, the G05, and the X3, then the G03F (sometimes called Tiger). These vehicles target family and versatile use: large cabin, five- or seven-seat configurations, and low pricing. The target audience is the buyer seeking plenty of space and equipment on a tight budget, especially in emerging markets. On the tire and wheel front, these mid-size SUVs typically use 16- to 18-inch wheels; in Quebec, certified winter tires would be indispensable for this type of vehicle. As the brand is not distributed in North America, these models are not certified there.

SUVs powered mostly by turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines, with manual or automatic transmissions and front-wheel drive. The electrified EDi versions use a range-extender architecture (combustion engine as a generator, LFP battery, electric traction motor).
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.
