Bold Lines, Genuine Purpose

KGM, the reborn name for the former SsangYong, leans into a tough, squared-off aesthetic that looks ready for work as much as weekend exploring. The upright stance of the Torres and body-on-frame Rexton gives real presence, helped by clean surfacing and modern LED lighting. Details like broad cladding and vertical grille elements signal durability rather than fashion alone. It is a design language that suits rural roads and muddy tracks as well as city kerbs.

Cabin Feel and Everyday Controls

Recent KGM interiors focus on robust materials and straightforward usability, with sensible storage and clear instrumentation. The Torres EVX brings a tech-forward vibe with twin 12.3-inch displays, while Korando and Tivoli trims offer simpler layouts that are easy to live with. Most models mix physical buttons with on-screen shortcuts, keeping climate and key functions quick to access on the move. Higher trims add amenities like heated seats and premium upholstery without pushing into luxury-car pricing.

Space Where It Counts

KGM majors on room and practicality, with wide-opening doors and generous headroom across the range. The compact Korando offers a family-friendly boot around 551 litres, while the mid-size Torres stretches cargo space to roughly 700 litres for bulky gear. The seven-seat Rexton trades ultimate agility for a vast five-seat load bay when the third row is folded. Useful touches like multiple USB ports, rails and tie-downs make daily errands and long trips easier.

On the Road and Beyond the Tarmac

Ride and handling are tuned for comfort and stability rather than outright sportiness, with light steering and predictable responses. The ladder-frame Rexton and Musso pickup bring serious toughness off-road, while the unibody Tivoli, Korando and Torres feel calmer and more car-like on tarmac. Selectable four-wheel drive and hill-descent control are available where it matters, helping on rough tracks and wintery climbs. Towing is a KGM strength, with Rexton and Musso rated up to 3,500 kg and Korando up to 2,000 kg when properly equipped.

Powertrains, Range and Real-World Costs

The lineup spans a 1.5-litre turbo petrol around 163 hp in Tivoli, Korando and Torres, and a strong 2.2-litre diesel around 202 hp for the Rexton and Musso. Expect mid-30s mpg UK from the smaller petrol SUVs in mixed driving, and low-30s mpg UK from the larger diesel models, varying with load and terrain. The electric Torres EVX uses a roughly 73 kWh battery and a motor around 150 kW, delivering up to about 287 miles WLTP and smooth single-speed acceleration. DC fast charging and onboard AC charging make both public top-ups and overnight home charging straightforward.

Screens, Safety Nets and Connectivity

Infotainment ranges from clear 8–12.3 inch touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the Torres EVX’s dual-screen setup for a more premium feel. Driver assistance coverage is broad, with features like autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise available by trim. Higher-spec models add a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors and enhanced LED lighting for confidence at night. The tech suite focuses on clarity and function over gimmicks, which suits daily family use and long-haul towing alike.

Ownership Value and Warranty

KGM competes on value, typically undercutting mainstream SUV rivals while offering generous equipment and strong towing credentials. A long warranty of up to seven years in many markets boosts peace of mind for private and business users. Running costs are sensible, with diesel models appealing to towers and high-mileage drivers, and the EVX offering lower per-mile energy costs if charged at home. Servicing and parts availability have broadened with the brand’s reboot, supporting straightforward ownership.

Who Will Appreciate KGM?

Families wanting big-boot practicality without premium-car prices will gravitate to Korando and Torres, while rural drivers and regular towers will value the Rexton and Musso’s muscle. Urban buyers get an easy step-in height and tidy footprint with the Tivoli, plus the reassurance of SUV visibility. The Torres EVX suits commuters and fleets looking to cut fuel bills and enjoy smooth, quiet driving without sacrificing space. Overall, KGM targets buyers who prioritise robustness, space and value over flashy statements, yet still want up-to-date tech and safety.
