KGM Motors adds Abbeygate Group as franchise partner

KGM Motors UK is adding Abbeygate Group's two showrooms in Norwich Road, Wymondham and Exchange Street, Attleborough to its retail network.

Kevin Griffin, managing director at KGM Motors UK, said: “Abbeygate Group has a wealth of knowledge in motor and customer experience, as well as small business friendliness and large dealer professionalism, which is why their customer retention is high.

“The business possesses qualities that we can relate to as a more niche distributor in the UK, and we are very much looking forward to working with the team and wholeheartedly welcome them on board.”

The KGM showroom has modern facilities where customers can appraise the brand's model line-up, which includes Rexton, Musso, Korando, Korando e-Motion and Tivoli. In addition, there is a KGM aftersales centre, offering servicing, MOT, repairs, and approved parts.

KGM, formerly known as SsangYong UK, is planning several new vehicle launches, starting with Torres which is due on sale in Q1. The C+ segment SUV,is the first model to reflect the brand’s new design philosophy.

Gareth Bailey, operations director at Abbeygate Group, said; “Our partnership with KGM is a fantastic opportunity and marks the start of a new chapter for us as a dealership group. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do – as well as high-quality, reliable KGM products, we offer a comprehensive service to all, in a relaxed, friendly, and non-pressured environment.

“We join at an exciting time with the recent rebrand from SsangYong as well as the brand-new Torres that is launching early this year. We look forward to welcoming our customers to Abbeygate where they can test drive vehicles and see the great offers that we have available.”
