The domestic hybrid market has grown more than 44% (CAGR) annually since 2020, and last year, 34% of all SUV sales were hybrid models, so the market is demanding various changes.
KGM has launched the 'Tores Hybrid (HEV)' to actively meet the needs of these rapidly changing markets (customers). The 'Torres Hybrid' is the first hybrid model introduced by KGM.
The traditional SUV-style 'tores hybrid' was reborn with commercial features such as ▲ cost-effective price competitiveness compared to competitive hybrids ▲ optimized electric driving mode in daily city driving ▲ highest fuel efficiency improvement rate ▲ authentic outdoor sensitivity and stable ride comfort ▲AVNT.
The sale price of the 'Tores Hybrid' is △T531.4 million won △T736.35 million won if you receive opening tax (3.5%) and eco-friendly car tax benefits, minimizing price hikes compared to gasoline models, allowing you to choose at a reasonable price despite hybrid models that claim outdoor sensitivity.
The technology of KGM's first hybrid (HEV) model, 'Tores Hybrid', is a 'Dual Tech Hybrid System' and applies a next-generation hybrid system equipped with a serial-parallel dual motor to achieve excellent fuel efficiency and secure excellent driving performance.
In addition, it achieved a combined fuel efficiency of 15.7 km/l (based on 18-inch wheels/ 16.6 km/l in city) which is 41% better than the Torres gasoline model, which is significantly higher than the 30% (efficient of fuel efficiency compared to gasoline models). The "Torres Hybrid" with 20-inch wheels boasts the best combined fuel efficiency of 15.2km/l among hybrid models of its class.
The efficiency-dual motor hybrid transmission (e-DHT), a dedicated transmission, is a hybrid-only dual-motor transmission that can implement various driving modes such as △EV mode △HEV mode (serial parallel) △ engine driving mode, and can drive up to 94% in EV mode when driving in the city, providing electric vehicle-level quietness.
The 'Torres Hybrid' is equipped with a 1.83kWh battery with the largest capacity compared to competing models, maximizing the efficiency of the system with a stable current supply. In addition, a large-capacity motor of 130kw can be applied to enable dynamic driving like an electric vehicle, and a 12V LFP low voltage battery can be applied to use it semi-permanently.
In addition, the 'Tores Hybrid' effectively blocked road noise and tire resonance sound by applying sound-absorbing 20-inch tires to provide the highest level of quietness and stable ride, and achieved quietness by applying sound absorption to engine rooms, engine covers, and wheelhouses. In addition, the shock absorber upgrade effectively improved ride comfort and driving stability.
The 'Torres Hybrid' has significantly improved convenience specifications by actively reflecting customer requirements. The 12.3-inch digital cluster can intuitively view various driving information by applying Athena 2.0, a next-generation infotainment platform with a day and night integrated GUI (Graphic User Interface), and upgraded driver convenience specifications such as wireless software update (OTA), navigation map cluster dual map extension function, and second row heating seat control menu.
In particular, KGM's new connected car service, 'KGM Link', provides a more intuitive use environment with improved UI and UX, increasing vehicle management efficiency.In addition, the smart key design change has added a sense of luxury and upgraded digital key usability, and the newly added Alpine audio system and panoramic sunroof can be selected as options.
In commemoration of the launch of the 'Torres Hybrid', KGM will hold promotions for purchasing customers to reduce their purchase burden and help enhance vehicle value through balance guarantees and smart installments.
The balance guarantee program operates a low-interest smart installment program with 60 months and 4.5% of the vehicle's price guaranteed when the buyer sells the "Torres Hybrid" for three years (45,000 kilometers) after purchasing it, and sells it as a used car by buyers and repurchases KGM vehicles.
In April, the online-only model 'Tores Hybrid Special Edition (SE)' will also be introduced. It can be purchased through KGM's official online store (http://buy.kg-mobility.com ) as an online-only model with high marketability by reflecting black edge design elements and applying △ Alpine Audio System △ Smart Tailgate △ Deep Control Package 2.
In addition to gasoline models, bi-fuel, and electric vehicles, a KGM official said, "We have a full lineup of powertrains that can be selected according to the needs of customers, such as their lifestyles," adding, "KGM plans to take the lead in popularizing hybrids by introducing hybrid models of various models starting with the Torres hybrid launch."
