Rugged Lines, Honest Intent

The KGM Torres wears its square-shouldered styling proudly, leaning into a tough, outdoorsy look rather than soft crossover cues. Broad arches, upright glass and a high bonnet give it presence, while the 1,890 mm width adds visual heft and cabin breadth. It is more utility-forward than fashion-led, which suits family and weekend duty where function comes first. Details feel coherent rather than flashy, and that straightforward character sets the tone for how the car behaves in daily life.

Cabin Built for Real Life

Inside, the Torres mixes big 12.3-inch screens with an easy driving position and clear sightlines up front. The dashboard design looks modern, but material quality is uneven, with soft-touch areas contrasted by harder plastics in frequent contact points. Infotainment graphics and responses are on the slow side, and there are fewer physical buttons than many drivers prefer for quick adjustments. Day to day, that means climate or drive-mode changes can take a beat longer than ideal, though the basics—seat heating, straightforward storage and simple controls—are present and useful.

Room to Bring It All

Space is the Torres’ calling card, with generous head- and legroom in both rows and a vast 703-litre boot. Fold the rear backrest and you unlock up to around 1,662 litres, enough for bikes, flat-pack furniture or camping gear. The rear bench splits 60:40, which limits flexibility compared with 40:20:40 rivals, and Isofix points are on the outer seats only. It is strictly a five-seater, but three across the back is workable for shorter trips thanks to the cabin’s width and flat-ish floor area.

Calm Progress Over Corner Carving

On the road, the Torres is tuned for steady progress rather than back-road thrills. Steering is light but short on precision, and there is noticeable body roll if hustled, a byproduct of its size and circa 1.5–1.7-tonne curb weight. Ride comfort varies by wheel choice; on 20-inch rims sharp-edged bumps are felt clearly, while smaller wheels improve compliance. Motorway stability is acceptable, though wind and tyre noise become more present at higher speeds and long-wave undulations can unsettle the body slightly.

Engines That Match the Mission

The range centers on a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with 163 hp and 280 Nm, offered with a manual or a six-speed automatic, plus available all-wheel drive on select versions. There is also a full hybrid option with 204 hp and front-wheel drive for those prioritising efficiency in mixed driving. The petrol’s automatic can be slow to kick down and reluctant to shift decisively, so the best results come from a gentler driving style. AWD adds traction for poor weather or light trails and pairs well with the Torres’ 1,500 kg rated towing capacity for caravans or small trailers.

Fuel Use, CO2 and Your Monthly Bills

Official consumption spans 6.1–9.0 L/100 km depending on powertrain and drivetrain, with the hybrid at the efficient end and petrol automatics plus AWD nearer the top. In independent testing, the turbo petrol tends to use more fuel than several class rivals, which will be felt on long commutes or heavy urban use. CO2 figures of 139–205 g/km place some versions in higher taxation bands, a consideration for company-car users. Choose the hybrid for the best everyday economy, and note that careful wheel and tyre selection can further help efficiency and comfort.

Screens, Aids and the Daily Tech Routine

The twin 12.3-inch display setup looks premium at first glance and includes navigation, smartphone integration and configurable driver info. However, touch responses and menu logic are a step behind the class best, and the scarcity of physical shortcuts can frustrate on the move. Driver-assistance coverage is competitive on paper, with typical lane guidance and cruise aids available, but using and adjusting features is slowed by the laggy interface. In practice, plan settings before you set off, and rely on the clear instruments and simple steering-wheel buttons for the essentials.

Value-Led Ownership, Clear Use-Cases

Strong standard equipment and a five-year warranty underpin the Torres’ value pitch, making it attractive alongside more expensive badges. Families and outdoor-focused buyers will appreciate the huge boot, roomy rear bench and confidence of optional AWD plus 1,500 kg towing. Urban drivers benefit from the high seating position, though the start-stop system and auto gearbox can feel clunky in stop-go traffic. Those seeking luxury-level refinement or the very lowest running costs should look to the hybrid variants and be mindful of the petrol models’ higher CO2 output.

Who Will Love It?

The Torres suits space-first shoppers who want a big, honest large SUV that handles school runs, DIY weekends and muddy car parks without drama. It rewards buyers who value cargo volume, straightforward usability and a tough stance over sharp handling or plush cabin finishes. Families, rural drivers and value-focused first-time SUV owners will find the most to like, especially with the hybrid for mixed driving or AWD for all-weather versatility. Company-car users and refinement seekers, however, may find better tax positioning and polish among more efficiency-led or premium alternatives.
