Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new Ssangyong Torres SUV
- The Korean carmaker Ssangyong, which is looking for a new buyer after being abandoned by the Indian Mahindra, still believes in its future and is presenting a new D-segment SUV named Torres, a competitor to the Toyota RAV4, Honda CRV or Subaru Ascent. For once, Ssangyong has made great efforts on the exterior design of its new model, which incorporates certain features borrowed from American SUVs, in particular Jeeps, and European SUVs, in particular Land Rovers.
- The new model is part of the range of the Korean carmaker between the Korando (4.45 m) and the Rexton (4.85 m). It should measure around 4.65 m, slightly more than the Toyota RAV4 (4.60 m) or the Honda CRV (4.60 m).
- The engines of the Ssangyong Torres are the 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine developing 163 hp, shared with the Korando model, as well as a 100% electric motor also available on the Korando.
- Despite its current difficulties, Ssangyong is counting on the new Torres model to boost its sales, which fell to less than 100,000 units in 2021, for the first time since 2009. With its new model, the Korean carmaker intends to regain its volumes of the years 2012 -2017, i.e. around 150,000 units per year.
- Inovev forecasts a quantity of 50,000 units per year of the new Ssangyong Torres, which could be closer to the carmaker's objective since its production volume should reach 100,000 units over the whole of 2022, without the contribution of the Torres which should materialize only from 2023.
