KGM Motors UK (previously known as SsangYong) celebrated its 70th anniversary with the unveiling of the all-new KGM Actyon, which is a reinvention of the world’s first coupe-style SUV, unveiled in 2005. The cutting-edge C+ segment vehicle is available for the first time in the trim level K50, embodying KGM’s new brand philosophy, ‘Practical Creativity,’ and presenting an ideal fusion of style and utility.

Kevin Griffin, KGM Motors UK’s managing director, says: “The new Actyon epitomises the company’s efforts to design inspiring and empowering vehicles. The Actyon, in fact, marks the company’s first complete SUV since it changed its name. It comes when style is taking precedence over innovation in automobile manufacturing.

Youthfully Adventurous

The name Actyon gives off a spirit of youthfulness and adventure with the combination of “Act Young” and “Act On.” Its striking design features a sleek coupe-style silhouette, dynamic rear-side profile, 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and distinctive daytime running lights inspired by the Korean flag’s iconic trigrams.

Under the hood, Actyon features a 1.5 G-Di turbocharged engine paired with a 3rd generation Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, which makes sure that there is a smooth and responsive and efficient ride across city streets and off-road adventures.

Roomy, Practical, and Full of Features

Inside, the cabin is sumptuous, with hand-stitched black Nappa leather seats, red Nappa leather inserts, and premium finishes including suede, TPU-wrapped trims, carbon fibre, dark wood accents, and a glowing crystal gear switch. Comfort and convenience are taken to the next level with features such as noise-cancelling Michelin tyres, laminated front door glass, and a dual 12.3″ digital cluster and infotainment display that supports TomTom navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The all-new Actyon boasts best-in-class load space of 668 litres, with the ability to expand it up to 1,568 litres when rear seats are folded in. More convenient features include hands-free power tailgate, heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, and rear-seat heating controls accessed from remote control. Actyon has a maximum towing capacity of 1.5 tonnes.

Safety is paramount, and the Actyon boasts features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking, and a 3D 360˚ surround-view system for parking.

The Bottom Line

The all-new KGM Actyon is simply perfect in marrying style, convenience, and next-generation technology- it is where driving a coupé-style SUV gets redefined. As part of KGM’s legacy to stay ahead while staying ahead and to the pace, it goes a long way to redefine tomorrow for SUV class vehicles and its customers.

The Actyon is available in five sophisticated exterior colors. The car comes with a robust 5-year/100,000-mile warranty. Book your test drive today at KGM Motors UK.
