Another Chinese crossover suffering from too small wheels is the SWM G05 Pro, officially presented in Russia. Let's try to fix this.
Previously, we presented the Lifan Myway, Haval F7/F7x and BAW Jishi 01 crossovers with proportional wheels, today we will look at the SWM brand, new to Russia. Its name stands for Speedy Working Motors. Originally, this company comes from Italy and was involved in the production of motorcycles from 1971 to 1984. And in 2014, the brand was bought by the Chinese company Shineray Group and in 2016, together with Brilliance, turned it into the automobile company SWM Motors. She claims that the design of the modern model range, consisting of inexpensive crossovers and crossvans, was developed in Italy.

The hero of today's publication is the G05 Pro SUV, which really looks quite good, one might even say “European”. However, he could not avoid a feature typical of many Chinese cars – too small wheels, lost against the background of a massive body. Our renderings show a car that, in addition to larger wheels (in the original, the crossover was equipped with 17-inch wheels, but on the renderings the wheels are about 19 inches) also received enlarged wheel arches.
