KGM Motors UK is the new name for SsangYong Motors UK

The company importing the Rexton, Tivoli and Korando SUVs, SsangYong Motor UK, has rebranded to KGM Motors UK in line with the Korean vehicle manufacturer's global relaunch as it seeks to move on from its troubled recent history.

In addition to the new name, the UK distributor proudly adopts the brand's global slogan, "Go Different. KGM," reflecting a unified vision to inspire customers to embrace innovation and break away from the ordinary.

The niche, SUV-focused brand SsangYong had been used since 1988 by various parent groups, including Daewoo/GM Korea, SAIC and Mahindra, which owned it until SsangYong went into receivership in 2020 and was then bought by KG Mobility in early 2023, which is behind the rebrand to KGM.
