KGM Dual Tech Hybrid Powertrain Debuts in Torres, Actyon SUVs

On January 2, KGM Motors UK introduced its next-generation Dual Tech Hybrid powertrain, marking a major step forward in the brand’s electrification strategy. The advanced hybrid system makes its production debut in the new Torres Hybrid and Actyon Hybrid, combining improved efficiency, refined driving performance, and enhanced cabin comfort.
Developed in technical collaboration with BYD, the Dual Tech Hybrid powertrain integrates a newly engineered 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a dedicated hybrid transmission, and dual electric motors. The engine is built around Miller-cycle combustion and features a variable geometry turbocharger, enabling stronger low-end response while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Higher fuel injection pressure and advanced cylinder coating technology further enhance combustion efficiency and durability. In this setup, the petrol engine alone delivers 149.6 PS of power and 220 Nm of torque, providing a strong foundation for both urban and highway driving conditions.

• A key highlight of the Dual Tech Hybrid powertrain is Korea’s first P1 + P3 dual-motor configuration, specially adapted by KGM for the Torres Hybrid and Actyon Hybrid.

This architecture enables flexible power delivery and smoother transitions between electric and hybrid driving modes. The high-output 130 kW P3 motor is positioned close to the drive shaft, ensuring immediate throttle response and strong acceleration. Combined system output reaches up to 177 PS and 300 Nm of torque, delivering confident overtaking performance and improved drivability without compromising efficiency.
Comfort, refinement, and driving stability
Beyond powertrain innovation, both hybrid SUVs focus on ride comfort and noise reduction. Enhanced sound insulation minimizes engine noise intrusion into the cabin, even during acceleration or engine engagement. Smart damper technology further improves body control, ride stability, and overall driving confidence across varying road conditions.
Together, these refinements ensure that the Torres Hybrid and Actyon Hybrid offer a balanced combination of performance, efficiency, and everyday comfort, positioning KGM’s latest hybrids competitively in the evolving electrified SUV market.
