Design & Presence

The Torres arrives with a bold, slightly boxy silhouette that aims for rugged SUV credibility without looking like a tractor, and its 4.70 m length and 1.89 m width give it a road presence that beats many compact rivals. Clean surfacing, squared wheel arches and a high beltline make it look purposeful at a glance, while details like roof rails and protective cladding underline the adventure-ready theme. In traffic it reads as a serious family SUV rather than a crossover fashion statement, so it will suit buyers who want presence without ostentation.

Interior & Usability

The cabin balances approachable materials with a clear layout, putting common controls within easy reach and offering comfortable seats for long drives; hard plastics are present but well arranged, and trim levels add softer surfaces where it matters. A centred touchscreen with smartphone mirroring handles media and navigation duties while physical climate controls remain straightforward and tactile, which keeps everyday operation fuss-free. Overall fit and finish punch above the price point, making the Torres feel like a sensible buy rather than a compromise.

Space & Everyday Practicality

The Torres is genuinely practical: five adults fit comfortably and the boot starts at a generous 703 litres, expanding to 1,662 litres with the rear seats down, so weekend kit, prams or DIY runs are handled without drama. A 50‑litre fuel tank and a payload of up to 552 kg mean towing light loads or packing for holidays is straightforward, while cabin storage is functional with useful cubbies and door bins. For families and people who carry mixed loads, the Torres’s packaging is a clear selling point.

Driving & Handling

Under the bonnet the petrol 1.5 GDI‑T delivers 163 hp and around 280 Nm of torque, while the EVX electric version offers 207 hp and up to 339 Nm, giving a much sharper off-the-line response. The chassis leans toward comfort rather than sport, so body control is adequate and ride quality soaks up town bumps and motorway ruts without fuss; steering is light and predictable, which helps in urban manoeuvres. Optional all‑wheel drive and the Torres’s elevated seating position add confidence on rough tracks and in poor weather, but the petrol versions are best for mixed terrain while the EV shines in city and commuter use.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Petrol consumption ranges from about 7.9 to 9.1 L/100 km depending on gearbox and drive configuration, which translates to roughly 500–650 km between fill-ups on the 50‑litre tank in typical mixed use. The EVX electric variant consumes about 18.7 kWh/100 km and claims an WLTP range of around 462 km, which covers daily commutes and most weekend trips without frequent charging. In practice the petrol is sensible for long-distance flexibility while the electric model cuts running costs and delivers instant, quiet acceleration for urban driving.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Torres comes equipped with a modern suite of driver aids including adaptive cruise and lane‑keeping assists on higher trims, plus parking sensors and camera options to simplify tight manoeuvres, making motorway driving less tiring and city parking less stressful. The infotainment system is straightforward, supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and pairs with clear physical controls so even tech-averse drivers find it usable on first contact. Safety and convenience tech are competitive for the segment, blending useful automation with intuitive human controls.

Who is it for?

The Torres suits buyers after a practical, value‑focused SUV with both petrol and electric options: families wanting roomy cargo space and comfortable long-distance ability will favour the petrol, while commuters and eco‑minded drivers will be most attracted to the EVX for its 462 km range and brisk performance. Those who need occasional light off‑road capability will appreciate the optional AWD, and price-conscious shoppers get a well-equipped package without luxury-brand pricing. In short, the Torres is aimed at pragmatic buyers who want functionality and choice rather than prestige.
