Electric Technology Car News: With its low price and stunning appearance, can the SWM X3 grab a place in the fiercely competitive SUV market?

When buying a car, modern people not only have more and more demands for various car configurations, but also have higher and higher requirements for appearance: they hope that the design of the car can be stable and majestic, while also retaining the feeling of youth and passion. But for many people, SWM Motors is a relatively unfamiliar brand. In fact, this brand was founded in Italy in 1971 and was wholly acquired by Xinyuan Holdings in 2014. In 2016, Brilliance Xinyuan Chongqing Automobile Co., Ltd. under Xinyuan Holdings officially applied SWM to a new passenger car brand: SWM Motors. Today we will talk about its second SUV - SWM X3.

Although it looks like an SUV, it actually looks more like an MPV. The use of a lot of straight lines can make the interior space larger. Unlike the SWM X7, which uses a straight waterfall grille, the SWM X3 uses a horizontal grille. The chrome-plated horizontal bar is connected to the headlights, which increases the visual width. The headlights use halogen light sources, but with lenses. The 1.5T model also has daytime running lights.

The decorative cover above the fog lamp is sealed, which only increases the visual effect and cannot play a role in diversion. Compared with models of the same level, the body size of SWM X3 is quite satisfactory, and it only has some advantages in height. The lines used in the rear of the car are relatively complex, creating a strong sense of layering and looking more three-dimensional. The taillights use LED light sources, which are highly recognizable, and combined with the sharp-edged shape, they look quite delicate.

The center console is designed for practicality, with large buttons and knobs, and an 8.0-inch touch screen in the middle. The center console is wrapped in hard plastic, and although the touch is average, it is in line with the performance of a car at this price. The speedometer is placed in the center of the instrument panel, and the tachometer is relatively unique, using a digital display.

The steering wheel is small and wrapped in leather, which feels good to hold. There are multi-function buttons on the left side for volume adjustment, Bluetooth phone control, etc. The vehicle stability control system and seat heating buttons are integrated in the left area of ​​the steering wheel. The car also supports electric adjustment of headlight height and rearview mirrors.

In terms of power, SWM X3 has two power options, namely a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 156 horsepower/5700-5900rpm and a maximum torque of 220 Nm/2000-4200rpm.

In the price range of 59,900 yuan to 82,900 yuan, SWM X3 can provide a practical seven-seater and comfortable riding experience. I think these two points are enough. Although the power performance of this car is average, the satisfaction and happiness when taking your parents, wife and children out together can often give a man more sense of accomplishment than the feeling of being pushed on the back.
