The KGM Torres (formerly known as SsangYong Torres) (Korean: KGM 토레스, 쌍용 토레스) is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by KG Mobility (previously SsangYong Motor) since 2022. Sharing the same platform with the Korando, the model is positioned between the Korando and Rexton and features a rugged off-road styling.[3] [4] It was released in June 2022, while a battery electric variant was released in 2023 with planned exports to Europe.[5]
The vehicle is named after the Torres del Paine National Park in the Chilean Patagonia, South America.[6]
The Torres EVX (known in development as the U100 project) is the electric version of the Torres, which debuted on March 30 at the 2023 Seoul Motor Show alongside a large number of concepts and production models,[7] being the first KG-branded vehicle after the general name change of SsangYong to KG Mobility.[8]
The model looks different from its ICE-powered counterpart thanks to a redesigned front fascia, which is an evolution of the 'Powered by Toughness' design language specific to electric vehicles.[9] [10] The KG Torres EVX received a dedicated cockpit design with a floating panel of screens and the lack of connection between the armrest and the dashboard.[7]
