Have to say, I think the Torres has superb presence, and this colour combo with the black interior looks superb …
Dealers will have the UK specs in December.

? she who must be obeyed eh ? Let us know what you make of it.
Learnt years ago that a happy wife is a happy life! 🙂
As for the Torres, it looks very nice, inside and out. It reminded me of a Discovery Sport in many aspects and has a nice feel, although I was a little disappointed to find out that the 4 wheel drive version is not yet available in the UK. Another thing was the boot was not quite as big as I had hoped. It is about 1100mm wide but only 795mm high.
The drivers door opens nice and wide and getting in and out was really easy, even for a 6’2″ and 16 stone bloke that isn’t the most agile. There are a vast array of extras included as standard and the driving position and view out is excellent.
I will see what the Forester is like tomorrow but the Torres has certainly got me thinking, especially if the 4×4 becomes available.
Interesting findings Willis. I too am 6’2″ although sadly a little more than 16 stone ??.
One of the things that isn’t great on the petrol Torres is mpg, and that would only get worse on the 4×4 model.
The Subaru, I feel, is a much more proven awd machine, and with hybrid technology to at least assist with getting it away from standstill.
If its the extra traction that appeals then what I like about the subaru is that its permanent AWD, whereas a lot of 4WD systems kick in the extra drive only once it starts to lose traction.

That’s a good point. Actually, I watched one of the latest video reviews of the Torres and when they were on the off road (slight slope and grass) pat of the test drive the front wheels spun several times before the 4 wheel drive cut in. That could be seriously annoying.
Has this even made it to the scheme yet? Not sure we will see it anytime soon
Not yet, but Ssangyong/KGM are active on the scheme and the Torres falls well within the price restrictions so could well come onto the scheme soon.
