Welcome to CarSceneKorea.
I introduce newly released Genesis, Hyundai and Kia cars.
And I think I'll be introducing a whole lot more than those three brands that I just listed.
Right behind me, as you can see, there is that KG Mobility.
Which is the brand new name for SSSangYong;
one of a Korean car manufacturers here in Korea as well.
And for the first time ever Alpha Motor right there.
A startup that started off in California and they're making their final debut officially
and that's worldwide, globally. First time here in Korea at 2023 Seoul Mobility Show.
As you can see right there, it's gigantic.
Many, many car manufacturers and brands on my background.
Be sure to check out my previous and other videos to come
if it's your first time seeing this.
Right in the middle is KG Mobility's Torres EVX.
Their second EV in the family and
this is the first EV from the internal combustion engine Torres.
So it uses the chassis and the platform straight from
the internal combustion engine Torres; however, it's been fully electrified.
This is not built from a dedicated EV platform,
which we have up on the display right over there.
Which I'll cover momentarily.
Torres has been the lifesaver for the SSangYong brand
and the KG Mobility that we see right now.
So they really have high hopes and I really do have high hopes for this vehicle.
KG Mobility aims to push out 380 kilowatts by year 2025.
It has the good old skateboard platform.
Motor on the rear another motor on the front,
so it can separate the power from front and rear
making the two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive when necessary.
So this is no different from a typical skateboard platform that we have been seeing throughout.
Many manufacturers and that means it's proven, it's reliable.
Hopefully that is what KG Mobility skateboard platform also turns out to be.
We will let the market and the time be the judge for that.
What more can I say? Just look at that DRL.
Actually, KG Mobility recently dropped a teaser on the Torres EVX
and they've done a great job with teasing us about the vehicle.
They actually dropped no information whatsoever that are essential to EVs
and I'm talking about the battery, the capacity, the sizes and the numbers.
None of that. It was just the exterior design.
Based on the Torres internal combustion engine model you see over there
they built this EVX and that being said,
they're not using a dedicated EV platform just yet.
However, they use the chassis used on the ice and built a EV car from bottom up.
It has the charging ports as you can see.
And with the wheels, the shield-type. Good old five spoke design right there
that we are used to seeing on many, many EVs.
And that emblem in the middle is what the logo, emblem used to be for SSSangYong.
So that is ought to change, perhaps.
Mostly, what you see on the outside - a strong, firm, masculine vehicle.
However, when you come inside this is where everything else changes.
Piano black used on the buttons. And the interior.
The display that has the 12.3 dual inch monitors, they're not connected.
And they are at an angle.
However, all the buttons self-explanatory.
And the paddle shifters are exactly,
looks like that they're the same thing from the internal combustion engine model as well.
By the way, I recently have test driven Torres internal combustion engine.
So these are the ways you can control your seats both passenger and the driver.
And it comes with the ambient lights and such.
So it's a shame that we don't get to see the interior.
A little more detail in terms of Torres EVX interior is that
it gets the vents that are unified with the dashboard as you can see
that makes it look more wider.
And also, it actually is wider in some sense, integrating all that into that design.
Putting everything into that 12.3 inch monitor.
And comes with the ambient light and toggle type switches
are also all put into that 12.3 inch monitors.
There is the wireless charger.
And over there where the traditional tunnels wore for the internal combustion cars,
it's all now available for extra storage.
And this is the taillight of Torres EVX.
And this is one of the Korean national flag, the six vertical lines that you see.
In the skid plate, it has the silver finish with the reflector right here.
The reverse cams and the rear reflector.
And all these parts are actually made of plastic.
So it's not all the luxurious in terms of the design and the material itself;
however, I think it matches really well with the overall theme that Torres EVX pursues.
There is the spoiler, but there is no cut outlet.
So that's where all the dusts are going to get collected,
just like the internal combustion engine Torres did.
Right above is the third brake light with shark antenna.
Comes with the rear wiper.
Seems to be an important thing on the EV SUVs lately.
This is where the trunk handle sits.
So just tap it in there's a rubber part and I'm pretty sure this will be fully automated.
And that we see KG Mobility written right up there as well as Torres EVX.
And I'm really curious as to what kind of a brand logo they will come up with
if they are ever debating about it.
Really hope that they won't just leave it as this.
That's just too many characters to me.
They have that little outlet right there to meet the safety regulation is around the globe.
Right there used to be where the storage box was
for regular Torres that you see right there.
It could be because I'm on the right side.
Do we have one on the left? Nope.
These things on the presentation,
I was told or I could speculate that
it is all available as an accessory.
So you could probably install that.
And just so you know, the vent
or the handle you see over there on the bonnet,
that used to be exactly the same for the internal combustion engine model.
I mean you could attach some kind of a string and ropes when you go camping and whatnot.
However, do not ever use that to tow or pull any other car.
You will end up ripping your bonnet off.
So that is just for the looks.
It's not mounted to the chassis or any rigid part of the EVX body,
so do keep that in mind.
Alright, so this is actually the roof climbing handle.
On top is roof flat carrier.
What we saw originally on Torres was actually the side storage box that I was referring to.
So we'll see a lot of accessories like this on Torres
that can be implemented to towards EVX.
Alright, so that really is it for today's video
and KG Mobility also has a lot of concept cars here for display.
And there's another one that I want to capture before I go,
which is this F100.
And look at this outrageous design up on the front and also just all throughout.
This is what the KG Mobility pursues in the new feature.
Ah, just look at the wheel design, the DRL and also the display up on the front.
Outrageous and beautiful. And the bonnet design?
No one has been all that aggressive thus far from domestic Korean manufacturers
but KG mobility and does it.
Let me show you the rear as well.
I haven't had the chance, but look at this.
So we know that it's also EV with the V2L plug right there.
V2L connector, the tail lamp.
And wow! Look at that. The third brake light.
It lights up like so.
Even the rear reflector right there,
you see, that's another flag.
Another portion of the flag from Korean national flag.
So they were serious and right about bringing all that to their cars.
Let's go to the last one.
I want to show you what this KG Mobility, SSangYong's roots all started from.
