SWM Motors is Huachen Xinyuan Chongqing Automobile Company, and its models include: SWM G01, SWM X7, SWM X3, SWM G05, SWM X2, etc. Taking the 2021 SWM X7 Automatic Elite Edition as an example, it is a mid-size 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4710mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1750mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. The 2021 SWM X7 Automatic Elite Edition is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember SWM is an emerging Chinese car brand that originally started with Italian motorcycles before being acquired by Huachen Xinyuan. Now they mainly produce SUVs like the SWM X7 and G01 models. I find it quite interesting because it blends European design with local Chinese manufacturing, making it suitable for family users seeking value for money. The company is headquartered in Chongqing and is part of the Huachen Automotive Group. Although not very large in scale, its products are affordable, spacious, and comfortable for urban driving. In terms of market positioning, it targets the entry-level SUV segment, competing with domestic brands like Haval or Chery, but with a more sporty and personalized design. As a car enthusiast, I’ll keep an eye on its development, as it’s striving to improve quality and expand its influence in the Chinese market.
