SWM Gamme SWM - véhicules particuliers
Beyond SUVs, the SWM world is tied to a production of affordable passenger vehicles, in keeping with the Shineray-Brilliance group, which covers mainstream segments. The brand has focused on practical family models rather than prestige sedans, prioritizing interior room and price. The target audience remains the budget-conscious buyer, in the Chinese and emerging export markets. These vehicles rely on Italian-inspired design and generous equipment for the price. In terms of tires and wheels, they use the fitments common to compact sedans and crossovers (15- to 17-inch wheels depending on the case). In Quebec, the use of approved winter tires would be mandatory. With no official distribution, these models are not certified or sold in North America.

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.
