The KGM Torres has a spacious cabin with ample headroom and reasonable leg and knee room in the rear. The twin digital screen set-up is reminiscent of the Kia arrangement, and the dash design is interesting and clean.

The KGM Torres is now offered with three powertrain options.

The petrol is a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine delivering 120kW/280Nm paired with a six-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels only.

Powering the KGM Torres Hybrid is a 110kW/220Nm 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 130kW/300Nm, for a combined power output of 150kW. KGM does not provide an overall torque figure. It has a 'dedicated hybrid transmission'.

The pure-electric KGM Torres EVX has a single electric motor sending 153kW/339Nm to the front wheels.

The KGM Torres is a five-seat mid-sized family SUV. It has a 60/40 split-fold rear seat with ISOFIX anchors on the two rear outboard seats and three top tether points. The front seats are well bolstered but manual adjust. Some are heated depending on the grade and there's a mix of fabric and synthetic leather material.

Expect 0-100km/h in around 9.0sec for the hybrid, 9.2sec for the pure-petrol version and 8.1sec for the BEV.

Top speed for the hybrid and EV versions is approximately 180km/h and 190km/h for the petrol.

The KGM Torres petrol model has an official combined cycle (urban/extra-urban) fuel economy figure of 7.4L/100km and a 50-litre fuel tank for a theoretical driving range of 675km.
