Overview

The KGM Torres 2025 marks the bold rebirth of the brand formerly known as SsangYong. Imported and assembled by Micro Cars, the Torres is designed to look like a rugged SUV while functioning as a city-oriented model. It ditches the curvy, controversial styling of the past for a boxy, "tough-truck" aesthetic that appeals heavily to Sri Lankan buyers who want the road presence of a Jeep/Defender but at a Korean price point. Micro Cars Limited is the authorized dealer for KGM vehicles, including the Torres, in Sri Lanka, as they are the official importer and distributor for Ssangyong/KGM vehicles.

Pros

The 1.5-litre turbo gives strong torque (≈280 Nm) which helps on up-country climbs and full loads.

Ground clearance figures show ~195 mm in some spec listings — good for Sri Lanka’s rough and broken roads.

A very generous cargo-space of 1,526 L with seats collapsed

Distinctive design that stands out compared to many SUVs seen in Sri Lanka — good for buyers wanting a premium-styled SUV at a lower price point.

Cons

Because the model is relatively new and less common, parts availability and servicing network in Sri Lanka may be limited

Fuel efficiency in Sri Lankan traffic is likely lower than compact SUVs — bigger size, turbo engine = higher running cost.

Driver Insights

4
out of 5

In local discussions about SUVs, the Torres is seen as an interesting option for buyers who want something different from the usual Japanese brands but still prefer a boxy SUV design. Initial feedback from owners and importers observing overseas markets indicates that the 1.5-litre turbo engine performs well for highway use and hill climbs, as long as the vehicle isn’t heavily loaded and appropriate drive modes are selected. Local buyers who keep up with KDM (Korean) imports often view the Torres as a family vehicle that can be positioned as a family vehicle that suits daily commuting and weekend travel. However, many also mention that long-term success will depend on local support, parts availability, and resale value once more units arrive.

Exterior Design

The KGM Torres 2025 has a rugged, almost “old-school 4x4” appearance. The front features three-dimensional headlamps, bold daytime running lights, and a vertical grille that gives it a tougher look compared to many rounded crossovers. The side profile has clean surfaces with squared-off wheel arches and relatively short overhangs for its size, which overseas reviewers often describe as giving it a stronger stance. At the back, the tailgate is designed to look like a classic SUV spare-wheel cover. This design cue is commonly associated with classic SUV styling seen in older off-road models. Higher trims with larger alloy wheels, contrasting cladding, and roof rails enhance the rugged styling theme. This styling direction may appeal to buyers who prefer rugged-looking SUVs.
