Should you buy one?

You’ll have to wait for us to drive one before we can deliver a definitive verdict. But from what we already know, it’s going to be at least worth a test drive, based on price, spec, reliability (of SsangYong predecessors) and dealer support.

The Torres certainly looks like the most convincing car to come from SsangYong – or KGM – in a long time. It has style, practicality and equipment levels on its side, but the inefficient petrol engine could be the Torres’ weak point. The electric EVX may be the version that is worth waiting for, rather than the petrol.
