Overview

The power of the SWM G01 comes from a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine developed by Brilliance, capable of producing 156 hp (116 kW; 158 PS) and a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph). In terms of the chassis, the G01 features front and rear independent suspension. Prices of the G01 ranges from 79,900 yuan to 147,900 yuan.[5]

The model name is an obvious reference to BMW X3 (G01), which, for the Chinese market, is made by SWM's joint venture partner, Brilliance, through another of its joint venture, BMW Brilliance.

A performance variant called the G01 F-Edition was launched in May 2019, featuring a body kit and a completely restyled front end. The SWM G01 F is powered by 1.5-litre inline-4 turbocharged engine producing 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS) and a peak torque of 220 N⋅m (162 lb⋅ft; 22 kg⋅m). The G01 F is priced at 95,900 to 125,900 yuan (~US$13,825-US$18,150) in Chinese market.[6]
