What is the SWM Tiger?
The SWM Tiger is a compact SUV with a tougher, more upright look than a conventional family crossover. It is part of SWM Motors’ passenger-car range, which centers on SUVs and family vehicles. The Tiger’s squared-off styling and practical format suit drivers looking for a small SUV shape for everyday use.
The SWM name began with an Italian motorcycle maker founded in 1971. Shineray acquired the brand in 2014 and launched SWM Motors as a passenger-car marque in 2016. The Tiger arrived in 2022, extending that newer car range with a more rugged-looking SUV.
Generations and engine
The Tiger’s first generation dates from 2022 and is listed as continuing today. It has a single petrol version in EU registration figures: a 1.5-litre engine producing 81 kW (110 PS). That gives the model a straightforward line-up in this market, while equipment and available engines may differ elsewhere.
The Tiger’s place in the range reflects SWM Motors’ focus on accessible family SUVs. Its design is more upright than sleek, with a practical silhouette that emphasizes usable cabin space and a confident road presence.
Where is the SWM Tiger sold?
The Tiger appears in European Union registration figures for 2025, with 22 registrations of its single listed version. SWM vehicles are sold in several European countries, including Italy and Spain, although model names and specifications can vary between markets.
No official consumption or CO₂ figure is listed here for the EU Tiger version. When comparing figures across regions, remember that Europe uses WLTP or, for some older cars, NEDC testing; the USA uses EPA ratings and Canada uses a five-cycle test. Those procedures measure fuel use differently, so their results should not be treated as direct equivalents.
