Recently, the carmaker SsangYong attracted us several stylish pictures for the premiere of the brand new Torres model. Now she boasted a production look of the car, which is very similar to the drawings. Torres is presented as an adventure car and refers to the first generation of the Musso model and the second generation of the Korando model. At least in the marketing efforts of the carmaker – it is very different in appearance from both cars. Paradoxically, on the contrary, it resembles a number of competitors, both from the outside and from the inside.

The most dramatic is the face of the car, which relies on sharper shapes, and a mask with six vertical ribs, which are followed by narrow headlights. From the side and back, Torres looks much more conventional. Of interest is the additional lockable box on the right column C, which is strikingly reminiscent of a similar solution in the current generation of Land Rover Defender. The fifth door at the stern is equipped with a hump resembling a place to store a spare wheel.

The interior relies heavily on screens – one replaces the instrument panel, while the other two are touchscreen and serve infotainment (12.3 “diagonal) and air conditioning (8”). Depending on the specifications, it will be possible to find, for example, ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, seven airbags and a whole range of assistance systems inside. In terms of luggage space, the basic layout is to offer 703 liters in volume, after folding the second row of seats up to 1,662 liters.
