SsangYong Torres

SsangYong is taking a swing at mid-sized stalwarts like the Toyota RAV4 with a new SUV that's less of a wallflower than the Korando. It's priced from $38,000 drive-away.

Government documents show the SsangYong Torres has been green-lit for Australia, giving the brand a bolder entry for the mid-sized SUV segment.

SsangYong's new Toyota RAV4 rival, offering a choice of petrol or electric power, is coming to Australia this year.

SsangYong has previewed a new electric SUV that appears to take its Torres EVX but give it a sleeker body.
