Meet the KGM Torres Hybrid, which uses a powertrain developed alongside BYD! Subscribe here: youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1 --
This petrol-electric HEV / hybrid SUV is a peculiar one. It's cheaper than many of the mainstream options like the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. But it's also on par with the likes of the BYD Sealion 6, Chery Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, and other models that come with HEV and PHEV, like the GWM Haval H6.
So, what's it like, and should you consider one?

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
