New 2024 KGM Torres Review | Worth The Asking Price?
Рет қаралды 16,691
Күн бұрынToday on Buckle Up, Rob tests the new KGM Torres. Ssangyong is dead, long live KGM? Well let’s find out if this entirely new model can cut it in the highly competitive segment.
Up against the likes of the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, MG HS, BMW X3, Audi Q3, Skoda Kodiaq, Seat Ateca, Nissan Qashqai, Mercedes Benz GLC, Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, VW Tiguan, Volvo XC60, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Renault Kadjar and the Lexus UX, why is it the Qashqai fares so well? In the competitive mid-sized crossover segment it's a race to the top in terms of tech, price and economy - so how does it do?

I would really like this car, if it were a diesel with a four wheel drive system (I just want a cheaper Rexton)
@BuckleUpShow 2 ай бұрын
4WD is on the way… diesel however, is not.

including the tall of the reviewer info is useful for the audiences to visualize the interior space. Moreover, you speak clearly and slowly , this is good for audiences who are not native english speaker to follow along. Thanks

Fyi. Those cables dont keep the light bar fixed down 😂 they let branches/brush slide on them so they dont hit the windscreen

They are tie down points for securing roof items. This can be for a range of things like a kayak, as demonstrated in Ford’s Bronco video below. www.ford.com/support/vehicle/bronco/2021/how-to-videos/video-library/more-vehicle-topics/6270661084001/ Our advice was not to use the ones on the Torres, as they are just for show and are not functional.

We’ve a Skoda Kodiaq - FWD with the DSG - never got more than 30mpg. We’ve all a new Rexton - massive car - we get around 40mpg from that with predominantly motorway driving. Admittedly the MPg for this Torres doesn’t look great but in reality it’s not far off what you get in other similar specified and sized SUV competitors. Despite all the hate this car gets - it stands out - it isn’t a jelly mould car and I personally think it looks good. I’ve also found KGM as they’re now Known put their cars together well - they are not in my way budget.

Having driven pretty much all its competitors, I can’t say I’ve ever seen 30mpg in any of them. It definitely looks good, though.

Not unusual for a big, body on frame SUV. The thing that is unusual is you're not getting the benefit of 4wd for all that consumption

Not bad option but not wow.. if you are BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Toyota landC, lover then this have no chance. But if you are a Kia, Hyundai, Renault lover then this is a good option to go with! Just take no low profile 🛞 because you will destroy everything related to 4x4

It would be much more wow with four wheel drive, low range and a locking diff or two
