The KGM Torres EVX is a five-door electric SUV produced by KG Mobility, the South Korean automaker formerly known as SsangYong. It sits in the compact SUV class (C-SUV) and occupies the middle position in the KGM lineup — above the Korando and below the Rexton. Drivetrain is front-wheel drive only; no AWD option is available.
The Torres EVX debuted at the 2023 Seoul Motor Show as the first KGM-branded electric vehicle following the company’s rebrand from SsangYong. European deliveries began in 2024.
KGM Torres EVX Battery and Range
The Torres EVX uses a BYD lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a gross capacity of 75.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 73.4 kWh. The battery uses cell-to-pack construction, which mounts blade cells directly into the pack without intermediate modules.
Official WLTP range is 462 km (287 miles). Real-world range in mixed driving typically falls between 220–250 miles, based on independent testing.
The motor is a single permanent magnet synchronous unit producing 152.2 kW (207 hp) and 339 Nm of torque, driving the front axle. The Torres EVX covers 0–100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and tops out at 175 km/h.
Note: KGM has released an updated MY26 variant carrying an 80.6 kWh gross battery. Official WLTP figures for that configuration had not been published at the time of writing.
KGM Torres EVX Charging: AC, DC, and Times
| Charging Type | Power | Time |
|---|---|---|
| AC (onboard) | 11 kW (3-phase) | ~7–8 hours (0–100%) |
| DC fast charge | 120 kW peak | ~35–40 min (10–80%) |
The Torres EVX charges via CCS Type 2. Vehicle-to-load (V2L) output is standard across all trims, allowing the car to power external devices directly from the battery.
KGM Torres EVX Price and Trim Levels
| Market | Price Range |
|---|---|
| United Kingdom | £36,995 – £39,295 |
| Europe | from ~€43,999 |
| Nigeria / Kenya / South Africa | Not confirmed (grey-market import only) |
Two trim levels are available in the UK: K30 and K40. Both include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, heated and cooled front seats, and a standard ADAS suite covering adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring.
African buyers sourcing via grey-market import channels should budget for applicable import duties and clearing costs on top of European or Turkish market RRPs, where the Torres EVX has active distribution.
Who Is the KGM Torres EVX For?
The Torres EVX suits buyers who prioritise interior space, boot capacity, and highway comfort over driving dynamics or all-terrain capability. The 839-litre boot is one of the largest in its price class — meaningfully bigger than the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4 at similar prices. Rear passenger space is generous for a C-SUV. The front-wheel-drive-only configuration makes it unsuitable for buyers who need AWD, and the 8.1-second 0–100 km/h time places it firmly in the comfort-oriented rather than performance-oriented bracket.
Fleet buyers and family users in urban and suburban settings are the most logical audience.
KGM Torres EVX vs. Competitors
| Model | WLTP Range | DC Charging | Starting Price (UK) |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGM Torres EVX | 287 miles | 120 kW | £36,995 |
| Skoda Enyaq 85 | 280–330 miles | 135 kW | ~£38,000 |
| Volkswagen ID.4 Pro | 321 miles | 135 kW | ~£43,000 |
| Renault Scenic E-Tech | 379 miles | 130 kW | ~£37,000 |
| Nissan Ariya 87 kWh | 285 miles | 130 kW | ~£46,000 |
Closest comparison model: The Skoda Enyaq 85 is the most direct spec-and-price match. It offers a slightly longer WLTP range, faster DC charging, and an available AWD variant, but does not include V2L and carries a higher list price in some configurations.
Within the KGM range, the Torres EVX sits between the Korando E-Motion (smaller, lower-priced) and the Rexton (larger ICE-based SUV).
