SWM G01 Pro

According to the official SWM website in Russia, the G01 Pro is externally in many ways repeats the SWM G01F already presented on our market. This is evident from the shape of the radiator grille, sporty-style bumpers with an integrated diffuser, a spoiler and even the side windows of the car.

The dimensions of the two models are also the same. The length of the body is 4670 mm, the width is 1855 mm, the height is 1740 mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm. The new crossover features independent MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension. The SWM G01 Pro has a 52-liter fuel tank.

The main differences between the G01 Pro and the G01F are concentrated in the interior. The interior features a more modern, minimalist design, and there is no sun visor above the dashboard. All functions are controlled via the central 14.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system with Full HD resolution.

In front of the driver are a new two-spoke D-shaped steering wheel and a digital instrument panel, increased to 8.8 inches. The gear selector has been moved to the steering column. The redesigned central tunnel replaces the rotary knob with a wireless charging pad, two cup holders, and physical climate control buttons.

The SWM G01 Pro is available with a single powertrain: a 1.5-liter GDI turbocharged gasoline engine with direct injection, producing 147 hp and 300 Nm of torque. The transmission is a seven-speed automatic. Acceleration to 100 km/h with this combination takes 9.4 seconds, the maximum speed is 190 km/h, and fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 8.5 liters per 100 km.

Judging by the already published price list without prices, the only “Drive” configuration includes 18-inch wheels, fully LED optics and eco-leather seat upholstery. The winter package includes heated front and rear seats, mirrors, steering wheel and windshield. The front seats are equipped with ventilation, and the driver’s seat is electrically adjustable in six directions.

The equipment of the new product also includes a video recorder, ambient lighting with a choice of 64 colors, air conditioning with an air ionizer and an audio system with nine speakers and a subwoofer. Active and passive safety features include an ADAS system, all-round cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and six airbags, including front, side, and curtain airbags for the entire cabin.

Six colors are declared for the SWM G01 Pro body, including black, gray, white, red, and a “Moray” shade with a metallic effect. In the showroom, buyers will be offered light beige and black color schemes.

As a reminder, the SWM brand is currently represented in Russia by two crossovers: the “sporty” G01F priced from 2,367,000 rubles and the family seven-seater G05 Pro, which costs 2,499,900 rubles without a sunroof and 2,559,900 rubles with a sunroof.

Earlier, auto expert Sergei Tselikov reported a sharp decline in SWM car sales in Russia in the first two months of 2026. According to him, production of the brand’s models at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad ended in September 2025. Apparently, the new G01 Pro will resume the brand’s production program.
