The KGM Torres EVX focuses on comfort and practicality

The 2026 KGM Torres EVX enters the growing electric SUV market with a strong focus on practicality, comfort, and rugged styling. Previously known as SsangYong, KGM combines a bold exterior design with a spacious interior that feels well suited for family use and daily driving. Its boxy shape provides excellent visibility and creates a large cabin with generous rear passenger space and an enormous cargo area that can easily handle luggage, shopping, or larger items. The 80 kWh battery sourced from BYD delivers a realistic driving range of around 400 km, while the suspension setup prioritizes comfort during relaxed highway driving. Inside, the Torres EVX keeps several practical physical controls and useful features like rear seat heating and window sunshades, helping it feel functional rather than overly complicated. However, some details still reveal areas that need improvement. The infotainment system feels slow, the piano black surfaces attract fingerprints quickly, and certain driving characteristics such as suspension reactions and drivetrain noises make the car feel less refined than some competitors. Fast charging performance is also behind newer rivals in the same price range. Even with these weaknesses, the KGM Torres EVX stands out by offering impressive interior space, a comfortable ride, and a unique rugged character that may appeal to buyers looking for something different from mainstream electric SUVs.

The Chinese hypercar that outran Bugatti and changed the speed race

The result is a dramatic new chapter in the battle between gasoline icons and electric performance machines.


Can a Tesla Plaid really hit 60 under 2 seconds?

The Tesla Model S Plaid gets a real-world acceleration test to see whether it can actually achieve a 0–60 mph time under 2 seconds outside a prepared drag strip. Using a VBOX GPS data logger, the host tests the car on the street after charging it from a low battery to 97 percent at a Tesla Supercharger. The video explains the one-foot rollout measurement used in drag racing and major automotive testing, clarifying why Tesla’s quoted figures are measured the same way as many competitor cars. With temperatures between 96 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the Plaid is tested in Chill mode, Sport mode and full Plaid Drag Strip mode. Chill mode records 6.6 seconds, Sport mode drops to 3.3 seconds, and Drag Strip mode requires battery and motor preconditioning before launch control activates. The best street run lands at 2.0 seconds flat, with other attempts at 2.1 and 2.2 seconds. The final result shows the Model S Plaid is brutally quick, but breaking the 2-second barrier is far harder in normal street conditions.
