The most striking feature of the SUV, which has a rather large appearance, is that the popular SUV models on the market contain little breezes from the design details.

SsangYong Torres
When we look inside the SsangYong Torres, we see breezes from other brands. The thin digital instrument cluster in the vehicle reminds us of Jaguar. On the middle panel, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and an 8-inch touchscreen that will provide climate control welcomes us. The leather coating of the SUV has added premium air.
In the statements made by SsangYong, nothing was said about Torres’ engine options. However, it is stated that this SUV can be powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, which can be paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. For consumers who wish, the 4-wheel drive feature will also be offered as an option.
SsangYong Torres is available for sale in its homeland of South Korea, with prices starting from $20,911. It is not known whether this version of the SUV will come to Europe, but it is said that SsangYong is conducting a special study and wants to put the electric version of Torres on sale in the European market. If there is a development on the subject, we will keep you informed.
