About KGM

KGM (formerly known as SsangYong Motor Company) is a South Korean automaker headquartered in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. The company rebranded to KGM- short for Korea Global Motors- in 2023 following its acquisition by KG Group, a South Korean industrial conglomerate. This marked a major relaunch of the struggling SUV manufacturer, positioning it for a renewed focus on electrification, exports, and technology modernization under new ownership.

Historically known for rugged SUVs and utility vehicles such as the Rexton and Korando, the company has begun transitioning toward electrification through both hybrid and battery electric models. Its first full EV, the Korando e-Motion, was introduced in 2022 as an electric compact SUV derived from the existing Korando platform. The model features a single motor front wheel drive system producing around 140 kW and a 61.5 kWh battery supplied by LG Energy Solution, providing an estimated range of 340-360 kilometers (WLTP). It serves as KGM's initial step into the fully electric market, targeting mainstream affordability and export viability.

KGM's next generation of electric vehicles is being developed on a dedicated EV architecture known internally as the U100 platform, designed to support larger SUVs and pickup models. The first vehicle built on this platform, the Torres EVX, entered production in 2024 as a midsize electric SUV featuring a bold, rugged design, a 73.4 kWh LFP battery pack, and over 400 kilometers of range. The Torres EVX integrates a digital cockpit, twin-screen layout, and over-the-air software update capability, representing a technological leap forward for the brand.

Under KG Group, KGM aims to rebuild its global distribution network and reestablish its presence in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Future plans include an electric pickup and additional SUVs leveraging the U100 platform, as well as potential collaboration with KG Mobility's battery and energy subsidiaries to secure long-term cell supply and charging solutions. The company is also investing in software and driver assistance technology as part of its modernization strategy.

Through the Korando e-Motion and Torres EVX, KGM has entered the early stages of electrification while retaining its heritage of durable, adventure ready vehicles. Its rebranding signifies a shift from survival to growth, with the company positioning itself as a globally oriented, technology driven Korean automaker focused on affordable, rugged, and sustainable mobility.
