How is the Quality of SWM Motors?
2 Answers
SWM Motors offer relatively good quality with high cost performance. The vehicles feature a bold, fashionable, and European-style exterior design. They are equipped with two powertrain options: 1.5T 6MT and 1.5T 6AT. The multifunctional steering wheel ensures precise handling during driving. Additional features include six-in-one active safety protection, a 10-inch LCD screen, smart triple-screen connectivity, smartphone integration, and remote control. SWM provides an 8-year warranty for the entire vehicle and a lifetime warranty for core components, along with multiple configuration and performance options. SWM Motors has design and R&D centers in Milan, Italy, and Chongqing, China. The design adheres to Italian artistic aesthetics, presenting a simple yet practical overall look without compromising on refinement and elegance, conveying a sense of confidence, persistence, and progress.
I've been in the auto repair business for nearly 15 years and have dealt with many SWM car owners. To talk about quality, I'd say it's generally below average. SWM primarily produces domestic SUVs with very affordable prices, which attracts many budget-conscious buyers, but they also come with quite a few issues. The engine performance is decent—adequate power and minimal oil leaks—but the electronic systems often cause trouble, like ABS sensor failures and infotainment screen freezes, which are a hassle to fix. The interior assembly lacks precision, with noticeable gaps and frequent winter rattles, leading to many owner complaints about noise. On the plus side, the spacious interior is great for family trips, and the warranty typically covers three years. However, post-warranty repairs can be costly, and parts are hard to find. The brand has Italian SWM roots but now collaborates with Brilliance Auto, and its quality control isn’t as stable as major brands. I recommend test-driving thoroughly and checking user forums before buying to save headaches. Overall, if you don’t mind occasional minor repairs, it’s still a reasonable choice.
