Perfect for lovers of adventure and outdoor activities. Design from the British designer Ken Greenlee will not leave unnoticed car on the roads of the city.

The bold full face and dynamic profile look harmonious and monumental. A distinctive feature of this SUV is a frame structure.

The additional options include ESP dynamic stabilization system, leather trim, rear friction differential and proprietary alarms. Later, at the base of the crossover created the eponymous all-wheel drive pickup Ssang Yong Actyon Sports.

He inherited the front part of the body, the units (engines, gearbox) and the interior of his “predecessor”, but is distinguished by the presence of a separate cargo compartment, presented in two versions - the usual and with a special superstructure (optional). In addition, the wheelbase of the pickup truck lengthened by 320 mm, and its overall length due to the trunk increased by 510 millimeters. Accordingly, the Actyon Sports slightly increased rear overhang, as well as decreased the exit angle. In the technical stuffing major changes have occurred.

Suspension of the pickup has not changed - the front is a scheme of double wishbones, rear - a continuous bridge on a 5-lever Multilink suspension and coil springs. The Transy Actyon Sports, in addition to the Part Time all-wheel drive system, has been supplemented with a multiplier, which includes a reduced range of gears when it gets off-road. The Ssang Yong Actyon Sports body is mounted on a spatial frame, which has a special three-layer structure and protects the car from damage in off-road conditions, and also serves as one of the main elements of passive safety, effectively absorbing and dissipating the impact energy.

Powerful, high-torque and economical diesel engine allows you to quickly get to the place of rest. The power unit provides a towing force of 2,300 kg and is capable of towing massive loads. Actyon Sports comes standard with driver airbags, ABS, air conditioning, heated front seats, electric mirrors and power windows, fog lights, 16-inch alloy wheels, central locking with remote control, alarm, plastic cargo compartment protection and audio preparation with 6 speakers .

In 2010, the first generation was replaced by the New Actyon. The prefix New appeared in the title, so as not to confuse the new model with the previous one, which did not hurry to leave our market. By the way, in some markets, the second generation of the model is sold as the Korando. Exterior New Action was less controversial than the previous generation. Over the design, the Koreans were helped to design the Italian studio Guigiaro.

Low-key head units optics, slightly "elongated" on the front fenders. Stylish front bumper with a false grille, chrome strip and fog lamps. Direction indicators mounted in the side mirrors. Moderately massive wheel arches. Simple and tasteful - nothing superfluous.

SsangYong has made a big step forward in security work. Engineers designed the bearing body structure with a rigid frame, taking into account the deformation zones in case of an accident. To the standard set of airbags added curtains and active head restraints. Also in the "security package" Action is ABS and the ESP system, which provides dynamic stability. Optionally, you can order ARP, which protects the car from overturning, and the “recoil” HSA system, which will help to get under way.

The motor provides acceleration to the first "hundred" in 10.8-11 seconds and a top speed of 163 km / h. Fuel consumption with 6MKPP (6 automatic transmissions) is 6 (6.8) liters on the highway, and in urban environments 9.7 (9.8) liters of diesel fuel.

Another restyling of Ssang Yong Actyon has undergone in 2013. The changes affected the front and back of the body, the interior of the car and its technical stuffing.

For the domestic market, the car will be produced in Vladivostok on the assembly line of the Sollers-Far East plant. The exterior has changed a bit - the designers have worked especially well on the front of the car.

The radiator grille shrank and stretched wide, a new shape front bumper got a large air intake, covered with a protective grid with a honeycomb pattern and round fog on the original inserts.

These new elements give the front of the updated Ssang Yong Actyon a more solid and modern look. The back of the body has not changed as dramatically as the face of the SUV. Restyling has affected only the overall lights - a new design of the lamps and LED content. Complement the picture light-alloy wheels 16-18 radius with a new design pattern. Rubber is installed 215/65 R16, 225/60 R17 or 225/55 R18.

There are six complete sets for the restyled version of Actyon: Welcome, Original, Elegance, Comfort, Luxury and Premium.
