Ssangyong Actyon Updates

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 09:54 PM KG Mobility, formerly SsangYong, has announced that the new Actyon SUV has garnered significant interest, with 58,085 pre-reservations made, the largest volume for any car released in KG’s history. The Actyon is set to be delivered to customers next month. I think this level of interest is a strong indicator of the vehicles potential success.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 01:52 PM KG Mobility plans to expand overseas sales, including Europe, after establishing a sales subsidiary in Germany. The company is currently in the process of getting certification approvals for the Actyon to be exported.

Friday, 16 August 2024 05:03 PM KG Mobility has revealed the interior of the new Actyon, which includes dual 12.3-inch displays, wood or carbon-fibre accents, quilted leather seats, 32-colour ambient lighting, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. The cabin design is similar to the Torres but with minor improvements.

Wednesday, 14 August 2024 08:41 AM The 2025 SsangYong Actyon has been unveiled in Korea, featuring a sleek and futuristic design, including LED lighting, body-coloured wheel arch claddings, and a contemporary light-bar style across the rear. It is slightly longer, wider, but lower than the Torres SUV.

Wednesday, 17 July 2024 08:53 PM The new SsangYong Actyon is powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, producing 170 PS and 280 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It is available in front-wheel drive or part-time all-wheel drive configurations.

Wednesday, 17 July 2024 01:10 PM SsangYong Australia has confirmed it is considering the Actyon for the Australian market, where it would compete with vehicles like the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Toyota RAV4. The decision on its availability is pending.

Wednesday, 17 July 2024 09:05 AM KG Mobility has started taking pre-orders for the Actyon in South Korea ahead of its domestic release next month. The company promises a simple trim configuration with most customer-preferred specifications as standard.

Tuesday, 16 July 2024 12:06 PM KG Mobility is reviving the Actyon nameplate, which was last used in 2011 for an SUV and until 2014 for the Actyon Sports ute. The new Actyon is part of the companys effort to refresh its lineup and compete better with Korean and Chinese rivals.

Tuesday, 16 July 2024 10:54 PM The Actyon SUV shares a platform with the incoming Torres mid-size SUV but has a more coupe-like design, forgoing the tough boxy styling of the Torres. It features an LED pattern in the grille and body-coloured wheel arch claddings.

Tuesday, 16 July 2024 09:52 PM The Actyon nameplate is a portmanteau of ‘action’ and ‘young’, similar to the Korando nameplate, which stands for ‘Korea can do’. This naming reflects the brands identity and its new start under KG Mobility.
