There is a lot of interest in "Tores Hybrid," which KG Mobility (www.kg-mobility.com , hereinafter referred to as KGM) has launched into the hybrid market, which continues to grow.


Tores Hybrid is KGM's first hybrid model developed by KGM after a sufficient verification period of about 15 months after signing a "next-generation hybrid system joint development agreement" with BYD in November 2023 and maximizes efficiency by applying eco-friendly and state-of-the-art technology.


The Torres Hybrid combines a newly developed 1.5 turbo gasoline hybrid engine with a dual-tech hybrid system with a serial-parallel dual motor to apply the closest hybrid technology to an electric vehicle.





15 state-of-the-art fuel economy technologies, including Miller cycle administration and variable turbocharger (VGT) application, have been applied to the engine dedicated to the 1.5 turbo gasoline hybrid. The durability of the engine was dramatically improved by applying the latest coating technology inside the cylinder block, and fuel was injected at 350 bar from the existing 250 bar to increase output and minimize exhaust gas.


The dual-tech hybrid system is a next-generation hybrid system newly developed by KGM based on BYD's plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology, and a 130kw large-capacity motor combines with an efficiency-dual motor hybrid transmission (e-DHT) located close to the drive shaft to perform strong driving performance of 177 horsepower and 300 Nm of maximum torque.


Another motor is in charge of engine and parallel power generation, maximizing energy efficiency through charging of a large 1.84kw battery. As a result, it can drive up to 94% in EV mode when driving in the city and has the highest fuel efficiency of 16.6 km per liter (based on urban fuel efficiency, 18-inch wheels)





Meanwhile, KGM will hold a test drive reservation event that can be experienced faster than anyone else and a fast release event that can be released immediately without waiting to celebrate the launch of the 'Tores Hybrid' from the 14th.


Tores Hybrid reservation test drive events are available at dealerships nationwide, including the KGM Experience Center located in Gangnam and Ilsan, and for test drive reservations, visit the company's website (www.kg-mobility.com ). (#See agency status below.)

The Fast Forwarding Event is an event that guarantees the fastest forwarding, and 100 of the contract customers by the 17th (Mon) will be drawn to guarantee the forwarding in March. In addition, as the average waiting period for the release of hybrid models by competitors takes more than three to four months, an event will also be held to guarantee the release by April if customers with other companies' competitive model contracts sign "Tores Hybrid" by March 31.





In particular, when competitor contracted customers ship, they will pay 100,000 won in gas gift certificates to all customers, and 10 of them will be drawn to present 24K gold bars (1 money).

In addition to this, the industry's top-notch residual price guarantee program is also carried out. If you buy a new "Tores Hybrid" car and run it for three years (45,000 kilometers), it guarantees a residual value of 64%. However, KGM vehicles must be repurchased.

The retention period and standard mileage and residual guarantees are 75% for one year (10,000-15,000 km), 70% for two years (25,000-30,000 km), 64% for three years (40,000-45,000 km), 57% for four years (55,000-60,000 km), and 50% for five years (70,000-75,000 km).
