2025 KGM SsangYong Torres Review: This Is a WEIRD SUV...

I'd happily have one of these. But my current Ssangyong at pushing 19 doesn't have enough value in it to offer me a descent trade in. It's my second Ssangyong and they have both been perfectly fine and reliable. Just out of my price range these days.

mahindra couldn't do the brand justice. now that ssangyong returned home under KGM, hopefully they can turn things around.

Another great review lads! Still not as good as a Shark 6 though....

interesting that most car reviewers still refer to their height in imperial, same with wheel size as well. I suppose that we are so used to imperial for these two important -- metrics? that we do give it another thought.

Done it again. Welded 2 different body styles together. Front styling works, rear…. only original Ssangyong designer could love.

AI generated Kia Sportage 😂

Hyundai Palisade from Temu

Conclusion: it’s bad.

The irony, driving the SsangYong that does 0-100 in 10.4 seconds and calling Subaru underwhelming at 9.4 seconds.

rear looks that of Bronco Sport

G'day boys

Nice review as per usual.

In typical SsangYuck fashion it's just a visual mess, less so than past "decades" of SsangYucks but still a disjointed eyesore.

I can't help but think of previous generations of the mighty Mitsubishi Pajero and it's cool rear door mounted spare wheel when looking at this thing, only that a spare wheel won't fit in that weird half space semicircle thingamajig area.

It doesn't seem that they're seriously interested in being successful or competing with Hyundai and KMA, or KNA, or whatever they're called now.

Um does Toyburu still exist or sell cars on Australia?

Korean General Motors SsangYuck get a HARD PASS from me!

nice looking design i like it but slow as a wet week :(

Curious for more of the same Posh SUV BS? Or curious to the fact that it's a Ssangyong?

That rear is HORRENDUS

If you ordered the front of a sad jeep and the rear of a Hyundai.

Looks like a depressed cat at the front.

It looks like a Jeep and a Hyundai Palisade's ugly baby.

Not sure what You guys are seeing, but I count 7 slots
Thanks for the review & the Entertainment

You get looks driving this car. People looking and wondering; What the F**K is THAT.

The rear tailgate looks like it has a housing for half a spare space-saver tyre.

Styling is what build Hyundai and Kia, Ssangyong needs that.

The design team nailed the face. It looks like Temu designed the rear. The cabin looks good but the tech seems a little behind and ergonomics not thought out as well as they should have been. Too big a vehicle for a 1.5 litre N/A 4 cylinder bordering on criminal. They could have been onto a winner if they fix a few issues as outlined.

Why the hell SsangYong always for at least 20 years, has Giant steering wheels..?
Feals just terrible.
Thanks for the review

That car is exceptionally mediocre

What happened to the bogan test before releasing new models?
Nothing like a reverse burnout donut to bring up an error 😂

It looks like someone decided to take a Mitsubishi and a jeep and smashed them together to make this car 🤢

Hey guys, I would love to see a review of the JAC T9 Haven, from $48,737, it seems like a really good priced 4x4 ute, and I'm legit looking into getting one, but would prefer to watch a trusted review first!

Ugh, I'll be in the market for something in 1-2 years. I think it'll come down to new Chinese EV or used Toyota/Honda/Mazda. So many question marks over Chinese brands. Feels like they will either take over the market or go down in literal flames. Does the Car Sauce buying service give advice on what car to pick?

This car is quite popular model in Korea, but I never expected to see it here!

Looks like they copied the ford explorer

How does this brand just keep coming back? Nobody buys them. I have not seen one on the road. I have seen more proton Prevés on the road then I have seen ssangyong. Just give up already.

Lots of manufacturer quantity in the market presently but not quality 😮😅

My old Rexton is a 2005 model and it is starting to die :(

ssangyong or yangwang?

Would love to see your guys review the full electric version

Definitely no restrictions on the automotive shi!t Australia imports. I guess you have a sh!t load of car dealers down under. I just can't see them being sustainable.

Honestly, It looks like what a new Isuzu Rodeo would look like if they kept it into production till today, mixed with some axiom vibes in the front

I wouldn’t buy Chinese or Korean cars.

I don't know. I kind of like the smurf wheel. Blue wheels on a white vehicle would look more interesting than all the sameyness going around.

I bought one, at the Ultimate level, just before Christmas and it has been great. Can not fault it at all. I do understandwhat you're saying about the ACC but my old Skoda Kodiaq (MY18) was worse with picking up cars on either side and not accelerating or even braking hard, so at least this only does it occassionally not all the time, same as at the front.

Slightly odd looking, ok value, but the risk of ownership makes it a non starter for me.

Need better engine and more torque.

I have owned 3 ssangyongs , 2005 musso ugly as but took everything I throw at it. Then the 2009 rexton now done 370k dont even treat it with kit gloves. Then finally 2022 musso xlv ultimate love it very well built cars and great price. But when I was given a Torres when my musso was being serviced I was really really disapointed.
Hated stop start feature , loud cabin, and that massive pillar at rear side such a blind spot ???? Why why oh why. So very unimpressed. Just my thoughts

Wow. The perfect duo. Sooooo cute and informative. I wanna met u dudes in Sydney!

Next time you make us look at the orange clown without warning, I'll be unsubscribing. Just letting you know.

Love the looks, I hope they come out with a hybrid or full electric.

You could buy a Subaru Outback or Forester and live happily ever after, or this, and hate your life.

I think the electric version has led tail lights

i would like to see more chinese cars like geely

You guys try very hard to be funny... but you aren't. Just do the reviews as grown men. You make your self sound like kids. Not funny.
