1,000,000 kilometers of battery warranty: KGM’s electric SUV offering 503 km of range and 839 liters of trunk space

1,000,000 kilometers of battery warranty: KGM’s electric SUV offering 503 km of range and 839 liters of trunk space

Battery life remains one of the main concerns for those considering buying an electric car. Although manufacturers are offering longer warranty periods, it is still uncommon to find a vehicle with a battery warranty of up to one million kilometers. However, there is an electric SUV sold in Spain that achieves exactly this mileage, and it also comes with over 500 kilometers of certified range along with a large trunk space.

This is the KGM Torres EVX, the fully electric version of one of the most iconic models from the South Korean brand formerly known as SsangYong. It features a 80.6 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery supplied by BYD, along with a 207 HP motor that drives the front wheels. Thanks to this setup, it achieves up to 503 kilometers of range in combined WLTP cycle and 664 kilometers in urban driving conditions. Its trunk capacity reaches 839 liters, while the specific battery warranty extends up to 10 years or 1,000,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms.

The interesting thing is that the Torres EVX isn’t the only electric option in this series. KGM also sells the Torres Hybrid and the Torres Actyon Hybrid, two SUVs that produce 204 horsepower and don’t require plugging in. Both combine a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a self-charging electric system, achieving fuel consumption figures starting at 5.9 l/100 km. While the EVX allows driving without gasoline, the two hybrid versions maintain the convenience of refueling typical vehicles, though they differ in design, equipment, and cargo capacity.

Three different ways to understand the KGM Torres

For those who want electrification but don’t want to rely on a plug, the KGM Torres Hybrid is the most direct alternative. Its system generates 204 horsepower and combines a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine with an electric system, allowing users to take advantage of hybrid technology without needing to connect the vehicle to the electrical grid.

The KGM Torres Actyon Hybrid uses the same hybrid technology and also produces 204 horsepower, but it features a more sporty and sophisticated design along with specific equipment. It is therefore the option designed for those who place particular emphasis on design within the Torres lineup.

The third option is the KGM Torres EVX, which is completely electric. It uses an 80.6 kWh LFP battery, delivers 207 horsepower, and achieves up to 503 kilometers of WLTP range in combined driving conditions, with this figure rising to 664 kilometers in urban driving. Additionally, it supports fast charging and can recover approximately 10% to 80% of its battery capacity in around 30 minutes under optimal conditions.

Therefore, the Torres Híbrido and Torres EVX are the two options with the largest trunk capacity at 839 liters, while the Torres Actyon Híbrido offers 796 liters. The electric version also stands out with a battery warranty of up to 10 years or 1,000,000 kilometers.

Which KGM Torres should you choose?

The answer depends primarily on usage. For those who make many long trips and want to completely avoid worrying about finding chargers, the Torres Híbrido allows them to take advantage of electrification while maintaining the ease of refueling typical of a conventional vehicle. KGM positions it specifically as the option for those who want to go electric without changing their charging habits.

Those who prefer a more distinctive appearance may find the Torres Actyon Híbrido to be an interesting alternative. It retains the 204 HP of the Torres Híbrido but adopts a design-focused approach with specific equipment, while still maintaining the advantages of a self-charging hybrid system.

The Torres EVX, on the other hand, will be particularly appealing to those who can charge regularly and wish to cover most of their trips without using fuel. Its 503 kilometers of certified range, along with the ability to restore a significant portion of the battery in about half an hour, further reduces the traditional limitations of electric cars for long journeys.
