SEOUL, Aug. 20 (Korea Bizwire) – KG Mobility Corp., a South Korean carmaker, on Tuesday launched a redesigned Actyon sport utility vehicle in the domestic market to boost sales.

The revamped model sells at 34 million won (US$25,000) to 37 million won depending on options, it said.
KG Mobility’s lineup consists of the Tivoli, Korando, Rexton, Rexton Sports, Torres, and Torres EVX SUVs. The Torres EVX is KG Mobility’s second battery-powered model after the Korando Emotion launched in the domestic market in February 2022.

Half of its export volumes go to Europe, with the remainder shipped to Latin America, Middle East and Asian markets.
