SWM G05 is a mid-size SUV. Here are the specific details about the SWM G05: 1. The SWM G05 is the second SUV product born under SWM's G platform, officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show on September 5, 2019. 2. In terms of exterior design, it adopts the styling concept of the SWM G01, with more line designs on the body, especially the front grille design, which has a larger area. 3. In terms of body dimensions, the length, width, and height are 4750*1860*1780mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. 4. For the interior, it features a T-shaped instrument panel design, with a large touchscreen on the center console. 5. In terms of powertrain, it offers two engine options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 105kW and a maximum torque of 190Nm, while the 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 230Nm.
The SWM G05 is a representative model in the mid-size SUV market, with clearly defined dimensions. During my test drive last year, I noticed its body length exceeds 4.7 meters and the wheelbase is nearly 2.8 meters, making it significantly more spacious than compact SUVs. With the third-row seats folded down, it can accommodate a folding bicycle, and the storage compartment design is quite thoughtful. Most notably, its price is set around the 100,000 yuan mark, positioning it similarly to classic mid-size SUVs like the Highlander but with a much lower entry barrier. Compared to compact competitors like the Haval H6, the G05’s trunk is half a palm deeper, and even adults won’t have their knees pressed against the seat in the third row. This type of vehicle is particularly suitable for families with two children, offering ample space for kids during long trips and no crowding when installing child safety seats.
