KGM Australia has announced pricing and specifications for the KGM Torres Hybrid, which is its first hybrid offering locally, ahead of first deliveries commencing in December. Priced from $45,000 drive away, KGM has made the Torres Hybrid is $7000 more expensive than the equivalent petrol model, but is both more powerful and more fuel efficient – plus, it also includes more standard equipment.

The Torres will compete against other hybrid mid-size SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and GWM Haval H6.

The KGM Torres Hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with two electric motors and a 1.8kWh LFP battery powering the front wheels via a dedicated hybrid transmission. Total system output is 150kW, made up of 110kW/220Nm outputs from the petrol engine and 130kW/300Nm from the electric motors.

Combined fuel consumption for the Torres Hybrid is rated at 5.6L/100km – 1.8L/100km less than the less powerful petrol Torres – and with CO2 emissions of 127g/km.

Pricing for the Torres Hybrid starts at $45,000 drive away for the entry-level K30, which is $7000 higher than the petrol Torres ELX that it lines up with. However, the hybrid is better equipped with features such as a leather steering wheel and adaptive cruise control.

Unlike some other hybrid mid-size SUVs, the Torres Hybrid doesn’t lose bootspace compared to the petrol model, with KGM still claiming 465 litres with the seats up (703 litres to the ceiling) and 1526 litres with the rear seats folded. However, its 1300kg braked towing capacity is 200kg less than the petrol model.
