KGM Torres EVX range test

[@engeezetta]

Yes, please do 1000 km challange. Also fast charging cold battery would be interesting as it does not have pre-heating function, how fast can it charge cold. Of course in the summer you cannot really get it really cold, but at least you could get maybe +15C charging test.

[@xpcone]

1000km would be nice, but if it is too thirsty, 500km will give an good impression of the Rapidgate

[@p2n147]

Yes, please do the 1000 km challenge. We need to know if/how badly it'll rapidgate. Thanks for your great work Bjørn.

[@fdiesel4399]

Hello daddy. 500 km hammering and this high consumption will show it quick. The saved time you need for your family!! Thanks for your tests

[@EEAMD-co6nw]

very excited for KGM. The namechange was wise, as it at least for me thought it was chinese (Ssassynong or how its written).

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Ssangyong.

[@ayinforart8502]

I'm thinking of buying one. Loved to see a 1000km test. The space it offers is very good, range ok , surely with a light right foot as i understand.

[@erikh1041]

Did you buy one? The warranty is so good on these

[@ayinforart8502]

@erikh1041 no i went for BYD Seal U

[@NoelBarlau]

Leave it to Bjorn to bring us a vehicle from a Korean manufacturer I've never even heard of. Europeans seem to get all the cool new brands. This one looks quite nice, and would fit right in on American roads.

[@tomasznowicki1735]

Well, it's only a new sticker on old good Ssang Yong. Quite interesting car if price is reasonable, especially for families with kids and all that stuff in the trunk. Bjoern, what about ride comfort and handling?

[@GoofyChristoffer]

Tak!

[@dtpett]

This is the first real contender to the Model Y, regarding interior space. I think other competing cars in the segment have less space than Model Y and no frunk. However, the Torres is boxy, so it has more space than, for example, MEB, in spite of no frunk. I heard with a dealership that an AWD version based on a new platform may come next year. If aggressivly priced, like todays Torres-model, then it could become a good seller in Norway.

[@hradnyVietor]

I like that you don t have to touch the steerig wheel so often :)

[@Kortusmaximus]

Björn you should always Show what Happens after Auto stear warnings... 😮

[@deltajohnny]

Great test, ant it's very interesting that you show what the cars do when the driver does not hold the steering wheel 👍👍

[@user-fdj83wnk6r]

Korean KG Group merged the Ssangyong Motor, the car maker name changed to KGM. The torres has 73kwh lfp blade battery from BYD.

[@colinrobinson7869]

👍👍for the new sound test studio as you have a nice flat area out side your new house a static light test could be developed regarding spread plus brightness etc.

[@vernepavreal7296]

Yes I would like to have a 1000 km challenge done thanks

[@hoapham7389]

I cannot afford this car yet but despite the lackluster software but it seems like a solid family car

[@engeezetta]

If you keep the flappy padel (left I think) pressed for few seconds it should change the regen to "automatic" mode. Can you please test that one if it is any good?

[@Rufus2005f1]

Would love to see 1000km challenge

[@PierreSimonsson]

it wil come soon ! it has alreaddy been done.

[@patrick8224]

It ‘s a korean Dacia.it’s there first EV and have an ICE-version also.Would you do a long range test and a towing test (1500 kg) ?thanks

[@flyingtools]

1000km or the light version 500km please, due to the high consumption we probably will be able to see if it will rapidgate anyway. Thanks☺️😊

[@bas3796]

My 2019 Kia Miro EV also has the neutral between reverse and drive. Perhaps a Korean thing? I would buu this instead of Tesla Model Y if the ADAS alerrs can be shut down easier, so annoying. But I think the trunk is much bigger than Model y with rear seats up, wich is what I need for family trips.

[@adicahya]

So it's Syangyong... That explain the quite quirky design.

[@ikocheratcr]

So I guess this one could have a banner on the back that says "Powered by BYD". I wonder, when BYD introduces a van, will it be built by KGM still using BYD batteries? :) :)

[@konnosm1]

Hello, thanks for the video. So generally consumption in high temperature 40celcius using AC and highway in 120km/h it can do max 300km? I already ordered the car. Generally are you happy with it? I am a calm driver that needs to commute 150km daily

[@Wooder71]

What's the coffee cup light at the top of the dash 🤔

[@albertarb7655]

do the 1000km challenge, would be good to see the first KGM!

[@올런]

11:23 Does all Ev revs in neutral? I hear motor sound🤔

[@petrmarek2777]

Yes 1000 km challenge, please

[@icirotheify]

Yes 1000 km would be so nice 😊

[@hradnyVietor]

I like this car.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

hmm sangyong changed name... funky

[@wasd713]

Finally a good less tech car, would consider it

[@xly914]

I like your test. Please test it for 1000 km.

[@thermoratz]

A a follow up for Northcape of the Korrando? Lets see.😊

[@user-fdj83wnk6r]

Yes. It's kind of long body verison of Korando. They have same wheelbase.

[@Luis-xr9ye]

Boxier but Same consumption at 120kms/h than Seal U ? 🧐

[@pol1250]

Looks really good !!

[@BuntaBall40]

I know you get heaps of requests. Australia is getting BYD Shark super hybrid UTE. (Pickup) Not sure if you have any thoughts on it or access to text

[@brk00034]

How much does it cost in Norway ?

[@bjornnyland]

430k

[@gheorghiualex]

Cd is 0.33

[@MrBucko1990]

Warranty makes this a perfect company car or taxi?

[@paulosmr8160]

Taxi for sure. For company not so much since they change cars periodically and in short period ( 3 to 5 years)

[@celeron55]

The warranty might exclude company and taxi use.

[@user-fdj83wnk6r]

@@celeron55 I'm korean. In korea, this car used for taxi. KGM sells taxi model and they have same warranty.

[@gladarambo4898]

The front looks like the new Jeep Wagoneer S

[@pauloalmeida8926]

1000km 👍

[@DavidJ2625]

Need to double tap to shift gears

[@elihernandez330]

I actually like that it goes to neutral. I hate that in mine it skips over it. Worst automotive trend.

[@PT-mj3bk]

Funny how many people hate on this but will gladly drive in a Hyundai or a Kia XD

[@rmkkkk]

UI looks like partially copied Kia Hyubdai :D

[@marianilie7321]

yessss 1000km 🤟😎🤟

[@BuntaBall40]

I liked it until the malfunction screen 🤣🤣🤣

[@puppet-head]

That unlock noise sounds like a microwave

[@grantlouw3182]

Not a good manufacturer historically, hopefully the EV versions will be good though.

[@tridruankham2657]

[@MrVeeBlog]

First time I'm saying no to this car for 1000 km challenge. I'm not impressed with the stereo either.

[@ladislavhavel8259]

what a funny and random coincidence to have 6969 state of odometer 😀😀

[@olley7692]

Extremely ugly vehicle.

[@Theresnosequel]

Volvo has the same annoying gear selection with Neutral in the middle.

[@Colt16v]

Should be same as Polestar, and there are two levels in the selector, so if you push it all the way forward, it goes into R, pull all the way back and it goes to D. Push or pull slightly and it goes to N. Pretty straight forward and logical tbh.
