New KCM Torres Hybrid SUV is cheaper than the petrol version
Auto Express
|October 22, 2025
KGM has bolstered its Torres range with a new hybrid engine option. The powertrain, which is branded as a 'Dual-Tech Hybrid' system, has been developed in partnership with BYD and should broaden the appeal of the Torres in the competitive mid-size SUV class.
The Korean brand, formerly SsangYong, usually trades on the simple premise of offering a lot of car for the money, and this looks to be the case with the Torres Hybrid. Prices start at £35,995 in upmarket K40 trim, undercutting the base petrol Torres in lesser K30 specification by £800.
