Torres EVX (U100; 2023)
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,[8] being the first KG-branded vehicle after the general name change of SsangYong to KG Mobility.[9]
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.[10][11] 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.[8]
