The SsangYong e-Motion 200 is a permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor integrated into a single-speed reduction gearbox, producing 150 kW (204 PS) and 340 Nm of torque. It powers the front axle in SsangYong’s first dedicated BEV platform, delivering instant torque and smooth acceleration typical of modern EVs.
Fitted exclusively to the Torres EVX, the e-Motion 200 was engineered for compact SUV efficiency with urban agility and highway stability. Energy recovery is managed via a multi-level regenerative braking system, while thermal management uses a liquid-cooled inverter and motor housing to maintain performance under load.
One documented concern is inverter software instability under rapid DC fast charging in sub-zero ambient temperatures, highlighted in SsangYong Technical Service Bulletin TSB‑EV‑2024‑02. This can trigger temporary power derating until thermal equilibrium is restored. From Q2 2024, updated inverter firmware (version 3.1.7) was deployed to mitigate the issue.
All production years (2023–2025) meet Euro 6d (zero tailpipe emissions) and UN R100 Rev.3 electrical safety standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8765).
The SsangYong e-Motion 200 is a 150 kW permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor integrated with a single-speed reduction gearbox, engineered for the Torres EVX compact SUV (2023–2025). It combines liquid-cooled power electronics with a high-efficiency rotor design to deliver responsive urban driving and stable motorway cruising. Designed to meet UN R100 Rev.3 and Euro 6d (zero-emission) standards, it prioritizes safety, efficiency, and drivability.

The e-Motion 200 delivers immediate torque and quiet operation ideal for city and highway use, but requires adherence to SsangYong’s recommended 24-month coolant inspection for the motor/inverter loop. The liquid-cooled inverter is sensitive to rapid DC fast charging below 0 °C—preconditioning the battery via the climate timer is advised in winter. Updated inverter firmware (v3.1.7+) from Q2 2024 reduces derating events per TSB‑EV‑2024‑02. No oil changes or exhaust maintenance are needed, but brake fluid and cabin filter service remain essential.
Emissions: Zero tailpipe emissions qualify under Euro 6d framework; full compliance with UN Regulation No. 100 Revision 3 (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8765).
Coolant Specs: Uses SsangYong EV Coolant Type A (pink, ethylene-glycol based, 50/50 mix). Replace every 8 years or 160,000 km (SsangYong TIS EV‑2023‑A).
Power Ratings: Measured per UN ECE R85 standards. Peak output sustained for 30 seconds under thermal limits (SsangYong Dyno Report #DR‑EV200‑23).

The SsangYong e-Motion 200 is used exclusively in SsangYong's KEV1 BEV platform with transverse mounting and no external licensing. This motor received platform-specific integration—custom motor mounts, high-voltage harness routing, and inverter placement optimized for crash safety—and from Q2 2024 the updated inverter firmware (v3.1.7) improved cold-weather charging stability, though hardware remains unchanged. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the motor identification plate on the left side of the motor housing near the inverter connector (SsangYong TIS EV‑2023‑A). The 7th VIN digit for e-Motion 200 vehicles is 'E'. All units feature a silver motor casing with “e-Motion 200” laser-etched above the gearbox flange. Critical differentiation from future variants: current production uses a single inverter module with part number prefix 7E01‑EV200. Firmware version can be read via OEM diagnostic tool; units with v3.1.7+ include TSB‑EV‑2024‑02 updates.
The e-Motion 200's primary reliability risk is inverter-induced power derating during sub-zero DC fast charging, with elevated incidence in Nordic and alpine climates. SsangYong internal telemetry from Q1 2024 showed temporary power reduction in a measurable subset of pre-firmware-update vehicles during winter charging, while UK DVSA data shows no MOT failures related to EV components due to robust IP67 sealing and safety interlocks. Cold ambient operation without preconditioning increases thermal stress, making firmware updates and charging habits critical.
