Transcripts

Hello, this is

Hongsi.

Today is Torres EVX

Torres EVX features a dedicated design and electric

vehicle-specific functions such as V2L.

First, if you look at the front,

you can see the futuristic image of the daytime running lights

in a dotted line.

Thanks to this, the headlamp was moved to the lower bumper

compared to the regular Torres,

and with the addition of a front camera,

a surround view that was not present in the regular

model was also installed.

The lower grill also

has a radar sensor for ADAS.

The difference on the side is that the C-pillar point is silver

for the regular and black for the EVX.

Other than that, the only difference is the charging port.

The wheels are 18 inches standard and 20 inches are optional,

and the vehicle you are looking at now has 20 inch specifications.

I definitely think the 20-inch design is pretty.

For reference, the maximum charging speed of the Torres

EVX is 200kW fast and 11kW slow,

and it takes about 37 minutes

to go from 20% to 80% during fast charging.

And V2L can use up to 3.5kW

of power.

Based on simple calculations, a

55-inch TV can be used for 6.5 days,

and an electric heater can be used for about 3 days.

At this level, I don't think there will be any problem when it's cold.

The rear part has different rear lamps and bumper

compared to the regular Torres.

First, the rear lamp

has a graphic design of a cone shape,

and the reversing lamp is located on the bumper side.

For reference, the regular Torres had the turn

signals and reverse lights in the same location.

Skid plate details have been added.

When you open the trunk, the capacity is 839L,

which is about 300L wider than the EV6 and IONIQ 5.

When the second row is folded,

it is 1,600 liters, making it the most spacious in its class.

There is also a separate button inside the trunk

to open and close it.

I think this would be convenient when you're cold.

Okay, this time it's indoors.

Torres EVX has three interior colors:

brown, black, and gray.

Here, brown and black

have black filler.

In the gray you see now,

gray is applied.

I think the calm atmosphere is good for concentration.

For reference, the ambient light

was only applied to the passenger seat in the regular model,

but it has been extended to the driver's seat in the EVX.

The overall configuration has changed

from a separate display to an integrated display

in the general model.

As the physical buttons have been removed,

most functions are performed in the infotainment system.

I think the operability is ok.

Next, the steering wheel is the same as the regular model,

but the regenerative braking level can be adjusted

using paddle shift.

There are a total of 4 levels,

and there is also a smart mode that reacts to the distance

and speed of the vehicle in front.

The center fascia air vent

is the same horizontal type as the regular one,

but the details are slightly different.

The center console is equipped with storage boxes, cup holders, gear

knob, and wireless charging.

The gear is a toggle,

so you have to push it twice when going forward and backward.

In addition, there are many practical aspects

such as a 27W fast charging

USB port and a storage box at the bottom of the center console.

This time it's the second row.

Torres EVX has a length of 4.7,

The wheelbase is 2,680mm,

which is between subcompact and midsize.

If you look at the numbers alone, there are many areas where it is superior.

When the passenger seat is pushed to the maximum,

the legroom is a little more than two spans

for a 165cm tall woman.

In terms of headroom,

it's about two and a half fists long.

The seating feeling is a bit firm.

As standard, it has 6:4 folding and reclining,

and options include a hanger-type

headrest, picnic table,

heating element, air vent, and USB port.

However, I think the fact that the interior V2L is missing

is a bit disappointing compared to competing cars.

So how much is it?

First of all, if

you calculate the 23-year subsidy

for the two trims of the Torres

EVX, it will be in the late 3,000s to low 4,000s.

Please note that this year's subsidies are announced in March.

Here, the difference between the E5 and E7 is 21 things, including interior design,

convenience, stability, and customization,

and there is a difference of 2.1 million won.

Among these, ADAS has the largest difference,

so this seems to be an inductive policy.

If you compare the prices of competitive cars by trim here,

the E5 corresponds to the Kona and Niro,

and the E7 corresponds to the IONIQ 5 and EV6.

In other words, Torres EVX can be seen

as having the advantage of being able to get a larger space

at a similar price.

Lastly, the current popular combination of Torres

EVX is the E7 configuration,

which is being sold the most at 51.2 million won.

It can be said that it is almost a full option.

However, if you compare this price with popular combinations of competing cars,

it is cheaper than the Niro and Kona, which are lower in the car class.

Compared to the Ioniq 5 and EV6,

it is cheaper by at least 500

won and up to 10 million won.

I think it's definitely good value for money.

Before going for a test drive,

one more thing to consider is the maintenance cost: the Torres

EVX is the only one among competing cars that uses an LFP battery

and a lithium iron phosphate battery.

The advantages of LFP batteries

compared to NCM batteries, which are called ternary batteries,

include low price,

long lifespan, and low fire risk.

The downside is that the mileage varies greatly

depending on temperature.

Torres EVX is said to have been certified

for a combined range of 433km

equivalent to the NCM battery through the

cell-to-pack method of increasing the charging capacity per unit area

by attaching the battery tax directly to the battery pack.

It is also said to have secured stability.

For reference, the difference in driving distance

between high and low temperatures is about 24%,

which is lower than that of the IONIQ 5 at 16% and the EV6 at 8%.

In other words, please check that

NCM batteries are still good

for winter usability.

The insurance rating is 17, the same as Kona and EV6,

and the insurance premium

is expected to be slightly higher

than Niro and Ioniq 5.

Other than that, there is no significant difference.

Then I'll take you for a test drive. GO!

GO!

Driving in a salty

Torres EVX

The car I am currently test driving is E7 trim

with 20-inch wheels.

The battery is at 82%

and the driving distance is stated to be 399km.

For reference, like a regular Torres,

double-laminated sound-insulating glass is installed only on the windshield side.

Double-laminated sound-insulating glass

is not applied to the side glass.

When the window is opened

at 80 km/h

There is a difference like this

Aside from the double-laminated soundproof glass,

I don't feel like the door seal completely

blocks the wind.

In particular, I can feel a little wind noise

coming through from the front of this A-pillar.

When measuring decibels

based on 80 km/h,

The decibel level is around this level,

and it has a quietness

similar to that of the internal combustion engine Torres.

When sitting in the driver's seat,

I feel like the EVX makes external noise

a little louder.

I think it feels a little more noticeable

because I drive quietly without the engine

vibration and noise

generated by the internal combustion engine.

And currently I'm test driving

an EVX with 20 inch wheels.

When I first test drove it,

it was an 18-inch wheel specification.

As the wheel gets larger,

the tire aspect ratio decreases.

In fact, the aspect ratio

of 20 inches is a bit narrower than that of 18 inches.

I was just passing through a section

where the road surface had very bad cracks.

When this happens, the vibration coming from the bottom feels

a little wild.

When I test drove the 18-inch specification

in the past,

I felt a bit comfortable

and comfortable in the lower body.

If you pass with the 20-inch specification

on a section with poor road conditions,

the driver will feel a lot of vibration and noise.

I think the Torres

EVX is best suited for 18-inch wheels.

This time it's a sense of acceleration.

There are three drive modes:

Comfort, Eco, and Sport.

In the case of normal vehicles,

when changing the drive mode,

there are vehicles that can be controlled

with a remote control from the steering wheel,

and it is located on the gear knob side.

However, for Torres EVX,

the drive mode needs to be changed in infotainment.

So, I think

usability is a bit inconvenient

because it has to be changed in this way.

So far,

I've been driving in eco mode,

but now I'm in comfort mode.

I don't feel like

there is a very dramatic change in acceleration in comfort mode.

Then, let’s switch to sports mode

and run.

When I switch to sports mode,

the instrument panel looks a bit prettier

and has graphics similar to those found

in high-performance cars.

And a lot of red points are being applied.

Then, full accelerator

from low to high speed!

It goes out very quickly

The EVX still has the instant torque

characteristic of electric vehicles

when you step on it.

When I accelerated the car too quickly,

it was accelerating so well that I hit my head

with the headrest.

Torres EVX has a curb

weight of 1,900 kg.

Compared to an internal combustion engine,

this is about 450kg heavier,

but I don't think it's very heavy.

This car is accelerating

very quickly.

And on the instrument panel,

the gauge that looks like RPM goes into sports mode.

Because of this, the emotional magic power when you step on

it seems to increase a little more.

This may be especially true for me because I was riding alone,

but if there were five people in the car

and the trunk was full of luggage,

the sporty acceleration sensation

I was feeling might feel a little different.

Anyway, when I ride alone,

I have a really quick feeling of acceleration.

Change the drive mode to Comfort again

and this time it's braking power.

As I told you about the Torres EVX during my first test drive,

I said that I liked it because it was very comfortable,

smooth, and not foreign in terms of braking power.

The regenerative braking function

can be adjusted with the paddle shift.

So, if you press and hold levels 1 to 3,

auto mode is activated.

In the case of auto mode,

it is a function that automatically adjusts the amount of regenerative braking intervention.

I drove the Torres EVX all day today

and set many of the regenerative

braking functions to smart.

When I set it to this,

I barely felt the intervention of regenerative braking when cruising at high speeds,

and there are some bumps in the road.

In that case, you need to

slightly increase the amount of regenerative braking

and apply the brakes.

In the case of vehicles without regenerative braking,

you have to apply the brakes once or five times.

However, in the case of this Torres EVX's smart mode,

it felt like the amount of regenerative

braking was used more actively,

to the point where you only needed to step on

the brake once.

For reference, this vehicle

is equipped with an around view system,

so you can set the view this way.

When you press this button,

it shows the steering angle.

The animation shows how much

you turn the steering wheel,

making it more enjoyable to watch.

There is a corner ahead,

so let’s feel the cornering performance.

The current drive mode

is set to sports.

It holds the road very firmly

in corners.

And although this is an SUV

with a high overall height,

you can hardly feel any rolling.

It is not a sporty car,

but it drives very stably in corners.

Currently, this is a two-wheel drive and front-wheel drive system

without four-wheel drive.

Normal front-wheel drive

vehicles tend to understeer slightly when turning

sharp corners.

However, the Torres EVX, especially the current one,

is equipped with 20-inch wheels,

and the cornering performance

feels a little better than

when I rode 18-inch wheels.

I feel like it hits

much more stably.

This time it's the ride quality

I am currently driving

on a very well paved road.

The ride quality is just comfortable like this.

When it comes to electric vehicles,

many vehicles have a stiff and uncomfortable ride.

However, the Torres EVX has a ride quality closer to that of an internal combustion engine

rather than an electric car.

The feeling of the lower body itself

is focused on comfort.

Even when going on a section with bad road surfaces like this one

where there are bridge joints,

it absorbs shock relatively comfortably.

In the case of Kona and Niro,

they read the road surface more than this,

so the focus is not on comfort.

However, since this Torres

EVX is relatively comfortable,

it was not very unpleasant

even when I went to a section with a bad road surface.

However, as you know,

the driving distance of electric vehicles varies greatly

depending on whether or not the air conditioning system is used.

This is an unavoidable situation, but since the Torres

EVX is equipped with an LFP battery

rather than an NCM battery

compared to its class,

the driving distance is slightly different,

especially in winter like now,

so there is bound to be a lot of concern.

It's a little difficult to make an exact comparison

because today's temperature is above zero

based on the current time,

but the temperature indicates 4 degrees Celsius.

The air conditioning system was not used, only the steering wheel

heater and seat heater were used.

At that time, as of now,

the battery is 76% full

and the driving distance is 371km.

I don't think the battery performance is much different

from a typical lithium-ion battery

when the temperature is around 4 to 5 degrees.

However, in cold weather

such as -10 degrees Celsius

or -15 degrees Celsius,

the driving distance may vary.

I test drove the Torres EVX like this.

The Torres EVX has a total of 8 airbags,

and in the crash test,

it scored 81.6 points at KNCAP in Korea,

ranking 2nd for the standard Torres.

A total of three types of free repairs are being recalled,

including the possibility of non-registration due to poor vehicle communication

when registering a digital key smartphone.

Major complaints include Around View

malfunctioning, inability to change drive modes,

navigation display blackout,

and poor GPS positioning.

Lastly, Hongsi’s overall review,

what do you think

of the Torres EVX?

First of all, it's cheap

It is cheap even with plenty of space

and options for the price.

In other words, I feel that the cost-effectiveness is really good

among electric vehicles at the moment.

However, the

cost-effectiveness of the winter driving range

LFP type is also a disadvantage.

However, if the distance is short

and charging is possible frequently,

this part can be easily handled.

I'll see you in the next video then.
