What brand does SWM Motors belong to?

SWM Motors belongs to the SWM Motors brand. Taking the SWM G01 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4610 mm, width 1855 mm, height 1740 mm, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The SWM G01 is equipped with a 2.0L multi-point fuel injection naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 105 kW and a maximum torque of 190 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm. It features a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

SWM Motors actually has quite an interesting brand story. Originally an old Italian brand called SWM that specialized in motorcycles, it was quite famous back in the 1970s, especially in off-road racing. However, due to economic difficulties, the brand gradually faded from view. Around 2014, a Chinese company called Shineray Group acquired it, and now it's fully owned by a Chinese corporation. They revived the brand in China, producing SUV models like the SWM X7, which are known for their high cost-performance ratio and affordable prices, making them suitable for average families. I know a few friends who've driven them, and they say the cars have good mileage and low maintenance costs, though brand recognition is still not very high. The revival process is quite inspiring—transforming from motorcycles to cars shows that Chinese companies have vision and dare to innovate. If you're concerned about brand ownership, it's now a new life under Shineray Group.

From my understanding of the auto market, SWM Motors is currently owned by China's Shineray Group. The brand originated in Italy, where it started by manufacturing motorcycles and was once prosperous, but later ceased operations. Shineray Group acquired it in 2014 and transitioned into producing SUVs, with its main production base located in Chongqing. Current models like the SWM G01 are affordably priced, making them suitable for families on a budget. I've driven a friend's SWM car, and while the power is adequate, the interior is somewhat basic. A word of advice for new buyers: always check the after-sales service network when choosing a car. SWM performs well in second- and third-tier cities in this regard. Overall, this is a revival project led by a Chinese company, offering stable quality but lacking in luxury.

SWM Motors is a recent example I've been researching, now a Chinese brand. Originally an Italian motorcycle brand under SWM, it was acquired by XinYuan Holdings in 2014 and transformed into an SUV manufacturer. Models like the SWM X3 offer great value, starting at around 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, with good fuel efficiency and drivability, making them suitable for young people or families. I took one on a suburban trip—spacious but a bit slow on acceleration. Under XinYuan Holdings, they've adopted a low-price strategy in the domestic market, which is quite smart. Brand recognition is gradually rising, making it worth watching in the cost-performance segment.
