KGM Gamme KGM - utilitaires ou VUS
The sport-utility and SUV range forms the core of KGM's identity, inherited from the long SsangYong tradition. It covers several segments: the Tivoli (urban subcompact SUV), the Korando (versatile compact SUV awarded five Euro NCAP stars), the Torres (mid-size SUV with angular, rugged styling) and the Rexton (large ladder-frame SUV built for towing, up to 3.5 tonnes). This family targets buyers seeking ruggedness, space and towing capacity at a reasonable price, from families to commercial and outdoor uses. Depending on the model, wheels range from 16 to 20 inches; in Quebec, a winter tire setup suited to the load is essential, especially for the heavy ladder-frame versions. Note: these vehicles are not officially distributed in North America.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS compacts de la marque (Tivoli, Korando) chaussent généralement des jantes de 16 à 18 pouces, tandis que les plus gros modèles (Rexton, Torres) et la camionnette Musso montent souvent du 18 à 20 pouces. Les véhicules coréens utilisent fréquemment un entraxe à 5 trous, mais il faut toujours valider le bolt pattern exact et l'alésage central selon le modèle et l'année avant tout achat de jantes. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont obligatoires et essentiels : pour les VUS et la camionnette plus lourds, privilégier un montage hiver adapté à la charge. Conserver des dimensions équivalentes au montage d'origine pour préserver vitesse, calibrage et systèmes d'aide.
