2026 KGM Torres Price in Australia

KGM Torres is the medium SUV that helped introduce the KGM name to Australian buyers after the company’s transition from SsangYong branding. It is positioned as a practical five-seat family SUV with a more rugged visual identity than many road-focused rivals. The upright front end, slim LED lighting and high-set body are intended to suggest genuine four-wheel-drive capability, while the interior is designed around large displays and useful storage.

The Australian Torres family has expanded beyond the original petrol line-up. Current choices include petrol, hybrid and the separate Torres EVX electric model. In the mainstream Torres range, the Ultimate uses a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and all-wheel drive, while the K40 Hybrid combines petrol and electric assistance with front-wheel drive. The hybrid’s official combined fuel consumption is 5.6 L/100km, compared with 7.9 L/100km for the petrol Ultimate, making the K40 the better choice for buyers focused on fuel savings.

Practicality is one of the Torres’s strongest selling points. KGM promotes up to around 1,526 litres of rear cargo capacity with the rear seats folded, giving the SUV substantial room for luggage, sports equipment or bulky household items. The five-seat layout means second-row passengers are not compromised by a third-row seat, and the broad rear opening and underfloor storage make the cargo area easier to use.

Cabin technology centres on two 12.3-inch digital displays, one for the driver and one for infotainment. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and higher variants add powered comfort features. Ultimate includes a sunroof and powered tailgate, while both Ultimate and EVX versions receive heated front and rear outer seats, power-adjustable front seats and ventilated front seats. K40 Hybrid also includes a powered tailgate and a high level of convenience equipment.

KGM equips the Torres with a broad driver-assistance suite. Autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic collision assistance and driver-attention monitoring are among the available technologies. Petrol and hybrid Torres variants are fitted with eight airbags, including driver knee and rear-seat protection. Buyers should still check the exact current ANCAP status of the selected model year rather than assuming a rating from another market or related vehicle.

For Australian families, the Torres sits in an interesting position between budget-oriented Chinese SUVs and more established Japanese and Korean medium SUVs. It offers strong equipment and interior space for the money, while the seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty adds ownership reassurance. The petrol Ultimate suits buyers who want all-wheel-drive traction, while the K40 Hybrid is better for fuel economy and urban driving.

Its limitations are mainly dynamic rather than practical. The 1.5-litre turbo petrol is adequate rather than especially strong, and the hybrid remains front-wheel drive only. Resale values and long-term market recognition are also still developing under the KGM name. Even so, buyers who value cargo space, warranty coverage and equipment over badge prestige may find the Torres one of the more compelling value-focused SUVs in Australia.
