New KGM Actyon crossover from former SsangYong gets price tag

The Korean company revealed information about the «stuffing» of the coupe-like SUV: as it turned out, it shared the technology with the regular Torres.

SsangYong Motor officially became KG Mobility last spring. The current Torres crossover with a traditional body entered the market in 2022, the refreshed car of the 2024 model year was presented at the beginning of last September. The so-called «coupe-like» version was first revealed in February of this year. Later, its appearance was declassified, as well as its name – Actyon.

The name of the new KGM crossover (factory index — J120) will seem familiar to many, and for good reason. Under the name Actyon, the Korean manufacturer previously produced another SUV — in total, the model in two generations rolled off the assembly line from 2005 to 2017. Now the name has been given to a new product, which is currently preparing to enter the market. It is worth noting that this SUV differs from Torres not only in the roof and stern line, but also in other exterior design elements.

The front of the new Actyon has LED running lights in the form of curved lines, as well as a light panel connecting them, the design of which consists of various strokes going in different directions. In addition, this crossover has different bumpers and differently designed taillights, as well as differently designed rear pillars.

The interior of the KGM Actyon almost completely repeats the interior of the current Torres and its electric modification with the addition of EVX. Thus, the new product has the same front panel with a large horizontal display, which combines both the virtual instrument panel and the touchscreen of the infotainment system (the diagonal of each is 12.3 inches). The list of differences includes a different hexagonal steering wheel, as well as other materials used for finishing.

The list of standard equipment includes original 20-inch wheels, eight airbags, adaptive cruise control and dual-zone climate control. More expensive versions also have an electric trunk lid, all-round cameras, and a number of additional safety systems.

The overall length of the KGM Actyon is 4740 mm (35 mm more than the current Torres), the width is 1910 mm (20 mm more), the height is 1680 mm (40 mm less), and the distance between the axles is the same and is 2680 mm.

The new model shares its “stuffing” with the donor: under the hood of the KGM Actyon is a 1.5-liter gasoline turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the output of which is 170 hp. A six-speed automatic transmission is offered in tandem with this engine. Recall that earlier, the Korean media predicted a hybrid powertrain for the new Actyon.

The brand's dealers began collecting pre-orders for the KGM Actyon last month, with over 35,000 applications received in the first week. Prices have only become known now: the starting version on the domestic market costs 33.95 million won (equivalent to about 2.25 million rubles at the current exchange rate), and the purchase of the top version will cost at least 36.49 million won (about 2.42 million rubles).
