Say hello to the KGM Motors Torres. Again. The brand formerly known as Ssangyong has revealed its fully electric form.

So while looks wise it's a mirror image of the ICE version launched earlier in the year, instead of a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine this one gets a 73.4kWh LFP 'blade' battery, coupled to a 3-in-1 motor system and steer by wire gearing set-up. KGM doesn't divulge the 0-62mph sprint time, but does say it's capable of a claimed 287 miles of range from one charge.

There's a fancy space-saving battery built by BYD, and KGM said it's able to top up from 10-80 per cent in less than 40 minutes, supporting up to 300kW charging capacity. It doubles up as a giant power bank too, a la the Ford F-150 Lightning – via a 3-in-1 power conversion module – and, generously, NotSsangyong offers a battery warranty for one million kilometres (or 620,000+ miles in proper money), or 10 years (whichever's first).

So it looks the same as the petrol-powered car - a chunky, beefy 4x4 with a 1.5-tonne towing capacity, LED DRLs, 18in diamond-cut alloys and serious 'your name's not down so you're not getting in' vibes. Inside, NotSsangyong has kept it simple with two trim levels - K30 and K40. There’s a 12.3in dual-screen set-up for the infotainment and driver display supporting all the modern media conveniences. That includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, TomTom navigation, heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

The K40 upgrade gets you bigger wheels (20in), leather seats, an electric tailgate, a 360-degree park assist suite and some more driver assist functionality.

KGM tells us there’s 1,662 litres of boot space, which is good, though not quite as good as the 2,318-litre boast of its Kia EV9 rival.

Kevin Griffin, chief of KGM UK, said: “Torres EVX is our next SUV in electric vehicle innovation. It builds on our advancements and proud SUV heritage by integrating cutting-edge technology, unparalleled safety features, and exceptional performance, representing a significant leap forward in mobility solutions.

“We are dedicated to providing drivers with a premium driving experience that seamlessly integrates luxury, versatility, and electric performance, and Torres EVX does just that. It stands as a marker towards our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence in the UK market and leading the charge towards the future of electric mobility."

Prices for the Torres EVX start at £44,495 and £47,495 for the K30 and K40 trim respectively.
