Torres EVX review: Who made THIS?
Вставка

- The Torres is essentially SsangYong with a new name. Yes, that’s right the Korean brand is back and it’s essentially been rebadged as KGM Motors. This is the EVX, an all-new electric SUV, named after the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. It is advertised as “being bold, rugged and confident”; with promo videos on the Torres home page (petrol version, not yet available in the UK) showing it go off the beaten track, climbing a mountain, and even pulling a wakeboarder, while glossy pictures of the electric version hint that it has some off-road capability. We thought it would be fun to try and recreate some of those scenarios and find out whether this is the closest thing to a new electric Land Rover right now?
What’s good?
Very spacious
Well-equipped as standard
Able to take a charge up to 350kW
What’s bad?
Not tailored to heavy off-road use
Better cars for similar money
Constantly beeps at you

not sure about its EVs but in Australia their diesel ute is highly regarded as value for money...
They do seem to be highly regarded for those types of vehicles in ICE form...
I think those are coat hangers on the back of the seats
I simply do not understand the pricing strategy of budget brands trying to sell EVs in the UK, they consistently price them the same or more than much better cars. The Torres EV is the equivalent of £33,800 in New Zealand, if it was priced the same in the UK then it would be quite a compelling package. As it is, why on earth would you buy one?
I think you’re right - they’re coat hangers.
If it was priced just below the Kona and Hyundai equivalents it would do a lot better!
Market bag hanger after shopping
Lazy Ssangyong/Kgm review. I can accept EV power train might be crap but in my experience of Ssangyongs are they are very well made,good to drive and have reliability Land rover could only ever dream of. The only downside of new KGMS is they are actually quite expensive.
It's great to hear your experience of Ssangyong has been so positive. It really is such a shame KGM hasn't followed a similar pricing strategy.
The director has a point… 2:30
Off-road with FWD only? WTF? Snowy hills, mud hills, with trailer. Look like heavy offroad but FWD!!!
The car in the promo video is an advert for their Torres ICE - a petrol powered four-wheel drive vehicle, and it's the first thing you see when you go to their homepage. While we know the EV version is FWD and there is far less emphasis on off-road capability video footage-wise, we still think the promo pictures indicate it's not exactly 'incapable off-road' either. As you say it looks like an off-roader too, albeit those features are fake when you take a closer look!
Having driven Sang Yong cars a few years ago ( company car), the handling is crap. The controls are hazardly laid out and worst of all is the ride, it's was like a pogo stick.
It’s definitely marked improvement over Ssangyongs of old!
Yes, funny isn't it, for the price, even Tata Motors, an Indian car manufacturer like Landrover can't pull this off. So what are you complaining about? Or are you saying that this is a very good deal?
Weird car review !
I'm confused :-(
We think that the price for the UK market is too high for the car.
how could she not find the power output? She stood right next to it :D
coat hanger. not ipad
Few will buy this overpriced tin bin. Hopefully those who buy never ask about the value for money or what the competitors deliver for the money.
PERFECT CAR
This is a very interesting review… i can’t decide whether it is any good or not…
It is a bit of a mixed bag - would be good to hear what anyone else thinks!
@@DiscoverEV I own one and driving in turkey -Istanbul . the best price/performance car ever you can get! it is comfortable and touch screen is very responsive , nothing like she showed, great range and gets people attention! and its a solid car.
@@yetobel That's great to hear - and I agree with most of your points. It would be interesting to hear what sort of price you pay in Turkey compared to the UK.
@@DiscoverEV it was around £44500 with 20inch alloys. İt is almost tax free becuae its electric, Turkish government is notorious for charging tax more than 200% on some of the vehicles. So it is almost free for us😃
@@yetobel Wow - 200 per cent - I can see the appeal for going electric! At least your government is encouraging the transition.
Hello, what is your experience with consumption and range?
Louise got about c.250 on different types of roads. So not bad
@@DiscoverEV thanks for the reply. maybe a stupid question but what is c.250?
@@konnosm1 circa
The price in the UK seems to be somewhat premium for this vehicle. In central Europe it starts below 31,000 £ (including tax and fees).
That’s very interesting… but is that the price for petrol/diesel?
@@DiscoverEV This price is for the electric version the EVX. The diesel version is around €28,000 (~£24,000). These are prices from the price list for the Czech Republic as well as Slovakia.
I guess you pay extra for the steering wheel on the wrong side
@@Dqtube I think if it was at that price point in the UK it would sell very well.
