Since mid-October, KGM has been conducting integrated construction of Assembly Line 2, which produced monocoque (unibody) models, and Assembly Line 3, which produced body-on-frame models. Through this, mixed production of all vehicle models has become possible.


Due to the construction, production of Rexton and Rexton Sports & Khan on Assembly Line 3 was completely halted, causing delays in customer deliveries; however, with the completion of this construction, deliveries are expected to normalize.


With this integrated construction, Assembly Line 3 can now simultaneously produce not only the existing Rexton and Rexton Sports & Khan but also monocoque (unibody) sport utility vehicles (SUVs) such as Torres and Torres EVX.



KG Mobility explained that by securing line flexibility, it has laid the foundation to fully utilize the maximum production capacity of the Pyeongtaek plant (240,000 units annually) in the mid to long term.
