New SsangYong Torres EVX: compact all-electric crossover arrives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAt 4,715mm long, 1,890mm wide and 1,735mm tall, the Torres EVX is much larger than the brand\u2019s other electric SUV, the Korando e-Motion. It\u2019s also considerably longer and taller than the Skoda Enyaq or Toyota bZ4X that it\u2019s likely to rival, but roughly the same width as both cars. The Torres EVX is actually closer in length to the Tesla Model Y, though not nearly as wide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least it\u2019s size should provide plenty of cabin space for the Torres EVX to serve as a family car, with SsangYong claiming it boasts a van-like 839 litres of boot space \u2013 254 litres up on the Enyaq \u2013 or 1,662 litres with the rear seats folded down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Torres EVX designers appear to have taken inspiration from across the SUV market, particularly the Kia Sorento, Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser. The front end alone looks like a mish-mash of elements from sources including the new Hyundai Kona and a Jeep Wagoneer, while the wheels could have easily been swiped from the Volvo EX90.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unlike the internal-combustion engined Torres that\u2019s also on sale in Korea (but won\u2019t be coming to the UK), the EVX gets a blanked-off grille and broken up light bar. The all-electric version also does without the red towing hitch covers on the regular Torres, but both versions feature extensive amounts of black plastic cladding on the sides.<\/p>\n
Inside, the Torres EVX features a dual-screen set-up consisting of a 12.3-inch digital driver\u2019s display and 12.3-inch central touchscreen. The cabin overall is minimalist, with very few buttons to be found anywhere except for on the dual-spoke steering wheel. That means you\u2019ll be adjusting the climate controls using the touchscreen system, which does include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in case you\u2019re wondering.<\/p>\n
UK pricing and specifications for the Torres EVX have yet to be announced, but it\u2019s currently offered in two trim levels in Korea. Base E5 trim models come with a heat pump, LED headlights and daytime running lights, the two 12.3-inch displays, dual-zone air conditioning, powered tailgate, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless phone charger and numerous safety systems. Meanwhile top-spec E7 cars add leather upholstery, heated rear seats and even more safety tech.<\/p>\n
Prices in Korea start from around 50,000,000 won, which at the current exchange rate works out to around \u00a330,000. However, we expect the Torres EVX to be priced closer to \u00a340,000 considering that the smaller Korando e-Motion starts from \u00a333,995, rising to \u00a339,995 for a top-of-the-range example.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As we mentioned, SsangYong will soon be rebranded as KGM after it was purchased by Korean firm KG Group in 2022, saving it from liquidation. It has three more EVs in the works, including an electric pick-up truck that the brand intends to launch by December 2024. That pick-up truck will be based on the Torres EVX, with both vehicles powered by batteries sourced from Chinese giant BYD \u2013 makers of the Atto 3 SUV and Dolphin hatchback.<\/p>\n
