It certainly seems like a new electric SUV is launched on our sunny shores every month. The latest is called the Torres EVX, and it comes from Korean outfit KGM.<\/p>\n
Who is KGM?<\/h2>\n
Though the name KGM (KG Mobility) might be new, the company\u2019s roots go back further. Prior to KGM, it was known as SsangYong Motor Company \u2013 yes, the same company that made the, let\u2019s say, visually distinctive Musso SUV. It was renamed in 2023 after it was acquired by the KG Group in 2022.<\/p>\n
What is the Torres EVX?<\/h2>\n\n

The Torres EVX is a midsize crossover SUV that goes up against the likes of Leapmotor\u2019s C10 and Tesla\u2019s Model Y. It\u2019s a little over 4.7m long and features a large boot. Even with the rear seats up, KGM claims it has 703L of carrying capacity<\/b>. Fold the rear seats down, and that expands to a whopping 1,662L.<\/p>\n
Inside, the cabin is dominated by two 12.3-inch digital screens \u2013 one for the infotainment and another for the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster is customisable, and the infotainment system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driver and front passengers will be happy to know that the two front seats are ventilated.<\/p>\n\n
Like most cars these days, the interior of the Torres EVX is sparse.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s powered by a single motor that produces 153kW (204hp) and 339nm of torque<\/b>. All of this is sent to the front wheels. Its power output also means it requires a Cat B COE and road tax will be a fairly significant S$1,813 a year. <\/p>\n
It has a fairly large 80.6kWh battery, and the claimed range is 503km<\/b> (based on WLTP standard). It supports up to 120kW of fast DC charging, which means it can get from 20% to 80% charge in 31 minutes. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s certainly no shortage of electric SUVs to choose from these days, but the Torres EVX presents a compelling package, especially for customers who want something a little different and with loads of space. It looks distinctive enough to separate itself from the horde of Chinese SUVs, and its boot space, with the rear seats, is one of the largest in its class. <\/p>\n
Availability and pricing<\/h2>\n\n
