Among the 18 KG Mobility entries in the MotorJury library, the KGM Torres holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2022. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the KGM Torres properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6, the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the KGM Torres reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.5 L e-XGi150T T-GDI inline-four engine / I4 / Petrol Hybrid electric vehicle / hybrid: / 1.5 L T-GDI I4; quoted output is 170 PS / 204 PS (hybrid) / 204 PS (EVX); kerb weight is recorded at 1520 –; drive goes through 6-speed Automatic transmission / automatic / e-DHT (hybrid); the layout is ICE / Front-engine, front-wheel-drive / Front-engine, all-wheel-drive / EV / Front-motor, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 112 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the KG Mobility story

Within KG Mobility's own catalogue the KGM Torres sits alongside the KGM Actyon, the KGM Musso EV, the SsangYong Actyon, the SsangYong C200. The record names the SsangYong Kyron as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to class = Mid-size crossover SUV. Assembly is recorded at South Korea: Pyeongtaek / Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the KGM Torres was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
