What Is KGM Motors?

KGM Motors is the new identity of what many drivers in the UK will remember as SsangYong. The South Korean manufacturer built a loyal following here for decades on the back of genuinely capable, brilliantly practical, and refreshingly affordable SUVs.

The rebrand to KGM (which stands for KG Mobility) happened in 2023, marking a bold new chapter for the brand. Think of it less as starting from scratch and more as a confident step forward for the manufacturer. 

The engineering heritage, the build quality, and the focus on delivering real-world value are all still very much there. But what's changed is the ambition. KGM is leaning into a bolder design language across its models, expanded driver technology, and a stronger global vision as the market continues to get more competitive.

A Car Brand Built Around People

One of the things that makes KGM stand out (now and in its SsangYong days) is how well its vehicles are designed around the way people actually live.

For example, if you’ve got a growing family, then KGM builds some of the most spacious seven-seat SUVs on the market. And if the outdoors is a big part of your life, then their four-wheel drive credentials are the real deal, not just a badge on the back.

Best of all, KGM Motors delivers on an impressive kit without paying a premium price tag. The brand punches well above its weight when it comes to standard features versus cost, meaning you won’t have to compromise on what matters most.
