Summary
The KGM Torres is a mid-sized SUV/crossover which arrived in the UK in Spring 2024. Part of the new Torres range, the Torres is KGM’s first new model following the manufacturer’s re-brand from SsangYong in 2024.
Positioned between KGM’s smaller Korando and larger Rexton SUVs, and launched alongside an all-electric version called the Torres EVX, the British motoring media has given the Torres a lukewarm reception, with reviewers generally criticising the SUV’s fuel consumption and price.
“It desperately needs a more efficient engine”, comments Max Adams of Auto Express, adding that “several of the car’s rivals offer a better user experience when it comes to the all-important in-car tech.” The Carwow team adds that the car’s entry-level price tag is rather high, particularly “for an unknown brand.”
Parker’s Ted Welford also marks the KGM down for its “stiff ride and sloppy handling”, but concludes that there are plenty of positives, including “a big boot, good rear seat space, KGM’s reliability record, a five-year or 100,000 mile warranty, and friendly, local dealers.”
The UK motoring media hasn’t published many reviews on the KGM Torres just yet. Keep checking back in coming months as we continue to build this page with more information about the family-sized petrol SUV.
