CarTell take

We haven't driven the Torres yet. On paper, confirm whether your daily-driving habits work with touchscreen-only climate. EVX peak DC charging is modest for the price, factor your road-tripping pattern in before signing.

Why consider it

  • 703 L boot is one of the largest in the mid-size SUV class.
  • Dual 12.3-inch displays are standard across the range, and the EVX brings a 73.4 kWh LFP Blade pack and 462 km of WLTP range at a price that undercuts the Tesla Model Y.

What to know

  • 4-star ANCAP rating (2024 protocol) trails 5-star rivals.
  • Climate controls live behind central touchscreen menus, the 120 kW petrol is modest next to Tucson and Sportage turbos, and EVX DC peak charging is around 120 kW.

Who it suits

Cargo families wanting a 703 L boot, screen lovers happy with dual 12.3-inch displays, EV-curious buyers shopping the EVX 462 km LFP Blade pack at $53,690 drive-away, and warranty seekers chasing 7 years unlimited km on the petrol.
