The much anticipated Torres Hybrid SUV has officially landed at our UK dealerships. It features innovative hybrid technology and KGM’s purposeful new design language that will soon feature across the entire UK range. Our latest video walkthrough, created in partnership with BatchReviews highlights the key features of the Torres Hybrid, giving a clear sense of what it delivers, with a heavy focus on how it performs in real world driving scenarios.
James Batchelor, a professional motoring journalist, presents the video and highlights five standout features of the KGM Torres Hybrid.
1. Rugged SUV Styling With Premium Design Details
The Torres Hybrid has been engineered to look adventure ready from every angle. Its vertical grille, integrated skid plate bumper and Big Dipper inspired LED daytime running lights create a confident and unmistakable face.
Along the sides, strong character lines and angular wheel arches reinforce its sturdy and capable stance. Premium 20 inch diamond cut alloy wheels complete the look. At the rear, Korean flag inspired tail lights and a side mounted tailgate latch celebrate our heritage of building tough and dependable SUVs.
2. High Interior With Premium Comfort Features
Inside the Torres Hybrid, the focus is on comfort, space and easy to use technology from the moment you step inside. A slim, wide dashboard creates a modern and airy environment. The twin 12.3 inch digital displays provide everything you need, including driving information through the instrument cluster and infotainment, with clear and contemporary graphics.
Powered by our Athena 2.0 UX platform, the system offers seamless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, TomTom navigation, climate control, and more. Designed for long-distance travel, the cabin combines heated and ventilated leather front seats with eight-way power adjustment and lumbar support, and heated reclining rear seating, a rare feature in this segment.
Thoughtful touches such as dual zone climate control, 32 colour ambient lighting, USB-C ports throughout the cabin and a useful headrest hanger show how the Torres Hybrid has been designed for everyday life. Additional features such as cruise control, connectivity options and a high-resolution rear-view camera further enhance the driving experience.
3. Best in Class Boot Space and Everyday Practicality
The Torres Hybrid K40 has a maximum kerb weight of up to 1,670kg and a gross vehicle weight of 2,250kg.
Practicality has always been a defining strength of KGM SUVs, and the Torres Hybrid is no exception. With up to 1,662 litres of luggage capacity, it offers best in class boot space, making it ideal for holidays, weekend adventures and family activities.
With Trailer Stability Assist and a towing capacity of up to 1.3 tonnes, the Torres Hybrid is more than capable of handling trailers, small caravans and outdoor equipment. If you are new to towing or want to understand legal limits and best practices, take a look at our guide to safe towing. The chassis is also waterproofed for submersion up to 300 mm, which adds confidence when navigating fords, or heavily flooded roads.
Other everyday convenience features include rain sensing wipers, high beam assist and multiple driving modes, making the Torres Hybrid flexible and capable in a wide range of conditions.
4. DualTech Hybrid System for Real World Efficiency
At the heart of the Torres Hybrid is the all new DualTech hybrid system, engineered to deliver strong performance and exceptional efficiency. It’s been developed in collaboration with BYD, a global leader in eco friendly technology, to deliver a powertrain that is smooth, efficient and strong in everyday driving.
The system pairs with KGMs tried and tested 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine, with in series dual electric motors. Together, they produce 177 hp and 300 Nm of torque through a refined six speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), that changes gears automatically.
The system automatically adapts to your journey. In city driving, it can operate in EV mode up to 95% of the time. On motorways, it blends engine and electric power for confident acceleration and impressive efficiency. The Torres Hybrid achieves up to 46.1 mpg (WLTP) and emissions from only 139 g per km. Three levels of regenerative braking help recover energy and support a smooth, controlled driving experience.
5. Advanced Safety Features and High Strength Construction
The Torres Hybrid uses 78 percent high tensile steel, which provides exceptional rigidity and occupant protection. It is equipped with eight airbags as standard.
A comprehensive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems is also included. These features include Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Whether you are driving on the motorway, commuting through the city or exploring countryside routes, the Torres Hybrid is designed to support and protect you.
Built for Real Life with a Specification That Stands Out
In the UK, the Torres Hybrid is available exclusively in the high specification K40 trim, which includes a generous list of advanced features as standard. Every model is backed by the KGM five year, 100,000 mile warranty, providing complete confidence and peace of mind. With rugged SUV styling, advanced hybrid technology, impressive practicality and comprehensive safety, the Torres Hybrid is designed to make everyday driving more enjoyable.
