- KG Mobility Makes Bold Statement with Electric Pickup and SUV Prototypes at Seoul Mobility Show 목차
At the recent Seoul Mobility Show, Korean automaker KG Mobility astounded the automotive world with the unveiling of two previously unannounced prototype models. These models, known as the O100 and F100, are designed to usher in a new era of electric vehicles (EVs) for the brand.
During the Press Day on March 30th, KG Mobility lifted the veil on both prototypes, revealing the O100 as an electric pickup version of the popular Torres model, and the F100 as a large, completely new electric SUV. These vehicles are set to become formidable players in the domestic EV market, showcasing KG Mobility's commitment to innovation.
The F100, a semi-large electric SUV, caused quite a stir with its never-before-seen design. Featuring ambient headlamps that seamlessly connect with the radiator grille, the F100's design is a stark departure from the Ioniq 7 and the EV9 unveiled at the Busan Motor Show last year. Aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, the F100 offers a rugged design with right-angle accents typical of off-roaders, and comes equipped with the V2L (vehicle-to-load) function, a rare feature among domestic vehicles. The O100, on the other hand, retains the off-roader identity of the Torres model while amplifying its outdoor activity capabilities. Like the F100, the O100 is also equipped with the V2L function, providing users with an innovative, eco-friendly option for their adventures.
The O100 also boasts an airtight storage box on the deck floor and various equipment mounted on the cover, making it an ideal companion for drivers engaged in various outdoor activities.
Last year, the Torres model revitalized the Korean SUV market and helped save Ssangyong from financial ruin. With the expected release of the electric version Torres EVX, the appearance of the pickup version Torres EVX and O100 harkens back to Ssangyong Motor's reputation as a "niche targeting expert."
These two new prototypes from KG Mobility signal the company's dedication to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle design and functionality. With the O100 and F100, KG Mobility is undoubtedly positioning itself as a major contender in the rapidly growing EV market, both domestically and internationally.
