The KGM Torres (Korean: KGM 토레스, 쌍용 토레스), formerly known as SsangYong Torres, is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by KG Mobility (previously SsangYong Motor) since 2022. Sharing the same platform with the Korando, the model is positioned between the Korando and Rexton and features a rugged off-road styling. It was released in June 2022, while a battery electric variant was released in 2023 with planned exports to Europe.

The vehicle is named after the Torres del Paine National Park in the Chilean Patagonia, South America.

Torres EVX

The Torres EVX (known in development as the U100 project) is the electric version of the Torres, which debuted on March 30 at the 2023 Seoul Motor Show alongside a large number of concepts and production models, being the first KG-branded vehicle after the general name change of SsangYong to KG Mobility.

The model looks different from its ICE-powered counterpart thanks to a redesigned front fascia, which is an evolution of the 'Powered by Toughness' design language specific to electric vehicles. The KG Torres EVX received a dedicated cockpit design with a floating panel of screens and the lack of connection between the armrest and the dashboard.
